I moved into a shared house a few weeks ago, in the kitchen we have a WM62 Hotpoint Aquarius 1000 washing machine and a very old Early 90s (1990/1991) Zanussi DW910 TCR Dishwasher.
The Dishwasher is brilliant, dispite the landlord plumbing it into the hot water supply, this helps with the drying phase and makes the glasses come out extra sparkly, its so heavy, robust and well built, no wonder its still going after 22 years. The washing machine is awful, and its now broken. I noticed when I first did a wash that everything was coming out hot instead of cold, I'm guessing the landlord plumbed the machine to the wrong taps, and the drum has caught on an interior component of the machine and has ripped a big hole in the drum, rendering the machine useless. Hopefully we shall get a second hand Zanussi washer as a replacement, id like one that matches the dishwasher =]

WM62 Please keep the WM62 and fix it eventually, because these were the last decent built hotpoints before the indesit company purchased GDA's Share of hotpoint in 2001. | ||

be careful with a european made zanussi as the back covers are plastic and they split very easily | ||

Zanussi Dishwasher Reminds me a lot of visiting the Scandanavian countries. I always loved the cool washing up symbols Europeans used (even on cars and stuff)! What sort of water usage does that dishwasher have? Is it good or bad? | ||

The WM series are the last proper Hotpoints.
I have the WM62P like that, and it is a good machine. But, in a situation like this, any washer is better! (that works!) However, the new ones are decent, better than the last series. Perhaps you could suggest to your landlord the new Hotpoint washer dryers - if you want a dryer that is! Such as the Aquarius WDAL8640G, have enclosed a link :) Oh well, good luck! hotpointfan CLICK HERE TO GO TO hotpointfan's LINK | ||

I have noticed that the latest Hotpoints seem to be much better than the ones they produced before, which is good because my Gran now owns one and I don't want it to turn out worthless. | ||

My great gran has just got herself the last generation washer dryer, model WDF740P, which isn't too bad quality wise, but the new washerdryers also look good.
My friend owns the WML540P Aquarius from 2011, which is used 3 times a day, and its bearings are slowly on their way out, but that is undestandable because even if it is on a Synthetics programme at 1000, they will put it on a fast 1400 spin after. Best wishes hotpointfan | ||

I dont know
I dont know what machine the landlord is going to replace it with, but it will be a cheap one from a second hand shop thats for sure. Whatever it is, as long as it works and doesn't take long to wash then I'm happy.
Hoping we get a Zanussi though, or a Bosch. When I was at uni my washers ranged from a Hotpoint WD440 washer dryer, a Siemens XB1060 1000rpm washer, and a Zanussi ZWF1020. Been doing washing at my friends flat and he has a horrible CDA 1200rpm built in washer dryer, and its awful, the timer feels like its going to fall off when you turn it and it dispenses the fabric conditioner on the first rinse instead of the final rinse, you have to switch it off at the wall just to get the door to unlock. But it washes and dries quite ok, dispite these problems. | ||

CDA
It has 3 dials and 4 buttons - 800 1200 spin, half load/dry button rinse hold and a on off button
Temp dial cold to 95, dryer dial from 0 to 120mins and a washer dial 18 programmes It might be as the programme dial is so flimsy, the dial is misaligned so you have to put it on one notch over the programme for it to fill, other than that it Works fine apart from the softener going in on the bleaching rinse phase rather than the Softener programme | ||

Yep, all Haier now on the built in, and initially with the MEGA6 models. They have used a lot of Fagor, Vestel, Antonio Merloni, and a few Gorenje (my fave) Everything is about price =/ and not quality =( | ||

I know, i knew somone with a baumatic that was made by vestel, apparently, the pully would grind against the back cover, until her dad took the back plate off and hammerd it, then it was fine, i do love the line of coloured fridges they make :-) Noticed you have the same whirlpool washer as me lol :-) Tom :-) | ||

Will check out who makes that indulgence model tomorrow, I think the orbital arm is revolutionary (haha) but to get that on a slimline dw was a stroke of genius. How old is your aquamatic compact model? Andy | ||

UPDATE
I am getting a new washer tomorrow, turns out the landlord has ordered...a second hand Indesit, he said its cold fill only but I shall make sure its installed properly, as our existing broken machine was connected to the hot tap, but this went into the cold valve resulting in everything washed and rinsed in water coming straight from the boiler.
I shall tell the person fitting the machine about this error tomorrow and ensure that its plumbed in correctly All I can say is its an Indesit, but Im not fussed, as long as my clothes get washed in a drum that doesn't have a big gaping hole in it, then thats fine :) | ||
