Tricity Bendix WDR1030 Drying dial and options. The dryer is super fast. I put a large load of aprons to dry for 40 mins on low heat and they were dry as a bone!

Tricity Bendix WDR1030 And finally the drum. 4.5 KG for washing, 2.2 KG for drying. But I don't think people actually go by the manual! The drum is below. That is all from me. Chris. (the link is to my channel where there are a few videos of the machine.)

Christopher
I don't believe many people read the manuals these days. I saw one person cramming a full load of soiled whites/colours in an Hoover Vision and bugger me they used the Rapid 29'! And when it comes to transit brackets, the amount of youtube clips of machines jiggling around the kitchen is scary almost!
Not too dissimilar events happen at my college either. The two washers in the HE room are normally set to 40* Colourfast, but they just leave it at that. Disgusted was I so the dial on the Nextra creeped up to boilwash and nobody noticed! The cloths they use need it as well! | ||

Hi Fido 8000? it was a typing error, i meant 800 but pressed the nought key an extra time. Unless you wanted a pic of the WM12?

Jet Engine lol Yea, it is funny that when Jacob was down he said that there may be an Aquarius 8000 from Hotpoint, a future machine? Yea, although, if I hadn't made the mistake the n the WM12 would be a suitable machine for he name :)

Bosch WTA2000 Full Frontal. A few scuffs but that is not really much of a bother as ti should clean up nicely. Also the stickers are a real pain!

Don't forget to tell them about the plug as they almost certainly need a new socket where the Bosch was living. | ||

Bosch WTA2000 Fido, Yep I will do when I see them on Monday. I have dried a few sheets in it and they came out dry in 15 mins, but the back is rather warm. Is it supposed to get hot enough o you can't put your hand on the top left of the rear? Thanks, Chris

They do get quite hot but check there is a good flow of air coming out of the vent hose. Like any dryer, it needs the air flow to stop the heater from getting too hot. | ||

Bosch WTA2000 Fido : Thanks for that, there is quite a breeze coming out the tube when in use. The machine is now above the WM64, Candy under the bench and the WT960G is going to be popped where this stood. Pics later :) Chris | ||

Bosch WTA2000 Hi Aquacycle. School do not actually own the dryer, it is mine. And yes, it is made by Crosslee PLC. I wish my school had an Electron 1100! would be mote fun than this but I do like it! I will be filming it next Monday now, forgot the camera :( | ||

My primary school had a Hoover Logic 1300 & a White Knight dryer in the food tech rooom and a Creda Supaspeed in the kitchen. My secondary school had 2 food tech rooms - one had an Electron 1100 and the Bosch WTA2000, the other had a Zanussi Quick & Clean and the Electron dryer to match the washer in the other room. We also had a Maytag toploader and AEG dryer in the PE department. | ||

askomiele, it is not uncommon in the UK to see a dryer made by Crosslee under a variety of names, the most popular of which are White Knight, Philips, Zanussi and Carlton. I believe the Philips branded dryers were the first. The interal design has remained pretty much unchanged since the late 1970's and they remain one of the UK's only domestic products to still be made here.
As far as Bauknecht-made-Whirlpool dryers go, I don't think I've ever seen one of those here. Whirlpool seem to be a slightly odd company. In the early 90's, the Whirlpool Aqualine was a very popular, relatively high performing and reliable machine - I know of a few of these still in use. However, the Philips-Whirlpool washer/dryer than ran alongside it was Merloni made and an attrotious, complete waste of a machine, so I'm not entirely sure who actually made and owned what names. All the Whirlpool dryers I have seen were all branded Philips-Whirlpool and made by Crosslee. | ||

Yes, they also did a gas version of the Crosslee, the only domestic gas dryers I've seen. | ||

My new beauty
My new Hoover SE220. Dates from 1999 and cost me £10 off Gumtree. It needs a new seal as the current one is very mouldy! The only fault is that the power button needs pushing in to get it to work. It's not plumbed in yet, just in the hall in situ for the moment. Does anyone know how to get it to work without it needing pushing in all the time? Thanks in advance...

Hoover SE220 What a beauty!Congratulations mate, glad you have it and not me. I think that the front is welded on to the front of the machine, but hopefully you can work around that. Can't wait to see it in its glory when I see you soon! Chris | ||
