Aha, Darren I take it you're talking about the new Hotpoint Aqualtis 11kg AQ113D697I in Halifax.
I was bidding on that last week but got outbid on it. I thought oh a rubber seal change isn't too bad as i've successfully done it before plus its the latest TOL model which I could pass on to my aunt as the Hotpoint Aquarius WMA58 seems like its not going to last much longer but it keeps proving us wrong! That particular machine was re-listed today as the problem isn't the rubber seal, it looks like its the tub that is at fault. In the re-listed ad the seller has added new pictures that show where it leaks from in the outer tub and the puddle from the leak on a concrete floor. I am glad I didn't win that auction as it is a bigger job than what was advertised, guess that could be the reason for it being re-listed. |

I enjoyed it, retired, came back, but the new global CEO finally found his way to make me hate Electrolux. It was nice when we made everything "thinking of you". nowadays it's "thinking of profit" |

@glenfieldmathk1 Hey, what I gathered from the seller from the first ad was that it was written off under warranty, basically they were given a new machine and told to keep the leaking one. Hence the engineer removing the serial number as it was written off.
I think they should take the machine away, refurbish it and sell it through their company website like Miele does with Grade B and C products. |

What model numbers did Electrolux use? Were they produced in Brazil?
Had another look Thomas and I see no reference to the Mondial 1500 anywhere - apicture would bemost welcome. Very nice of you to give your old Mondo to your boss to clean his office, I guess in these money tight times even the top bosses in companies cant access funds to buy equipment. You mention Electrolux had the best VC's. What makes you say that? Suction? Dust and grit removal? How many homes in Brazil use VC's? Whats the most popular type, cylinder or upright and whats the most popular kind of flooring? Who was electrolux competing against in the 80's? Did Hoover have much of a presence? |
