But for my grandpa, his 5yo Ultima WD860G pcb died a week ago, he now has the new Ultima WDUD940G As its replacement. Its not a bad machine but its not the one id get with my own money.

i saw it as i came in doing 1400 rpm and it sounds abit too high pitched the motor for 1400 rpm however slowing down was very quick.

Dryer function it turns abit too quickly to me, clothes were barely moving freely and sometimes distributes for a abit too.

Overall not bad machine, just wished it was a clocky lol.

I presume he's referring to a machine which spins In a clockwise direction.

...not that it makes any difference to the overall spin result :)

yes spin direction for clocky

yes I just prefer clockwise spinning machines lol but this ultima grandpa has has a trick up its sleeve which made me laugh

when we stopped the machine to check the seal as it squeeked On drying, I paused it, then I hit start again it tried to spin from stand still.

I think the quick unlock feature is good though and I thought the pump would be loud but despite the chugging its not bad at all.

How sad!

People are coming to accept that appliances now only last 5 years and are willing to take the same brand if the old one achieves that target life.

What was wrong with the PCB or what was the fault with the WD?? was it replaced under an insurance scheme??

Did you press "Pause" when the machine was spinning during the tumble drying thermal spin??
