What a wild unusual intriguing machine! Oh those Russkies!
Just watched the vid while eating brunch. So interesting how much like an automatic the machine is, except for the PUMP! LOL. The agitator, so familiar, the spin, so fast, the cool switch for the motor.
How about the off balance indicator? The giant control stick vibrates like crazy to let you know. Loved that. The huge chrome circumference is so good-looking and rich. If I had this, I would work like crazy to fashion a hose around the D-shaped spigot, so as not to have to interrupt the spin-- much easier on the longevity. I really love this stuff, Mike. Thanks. | ||

Washing
Ivan .yes we are very interested and look forward to more pictures and videos etc.
Daniil, many thanks for your postings as well and a warm welcome to you both, you both have a great array of classic washing machines, love those Roma twin tubs... Mickey, yes I think you are right with the easy twintub, also we have a wringer washer here, an English Electric Ritemp which you turned the top of the agi to disengage the washer action whilst the wringer operated... Guy, what fun these machines look, and very practical to use, imagine what a difference they must have made to washday!! Jon, you`ve not gotten room for any more...Ha ha, Louis is on route to collect it!! | ||

Mike & Michael: Did not know and think of this possibility of twisting it to engage spin. Thanks for letting me know. Didn't understand well what you meant Ivan about the Gripo though sorry... did you maybe mean it does have a direction selector for motor drive to spin and one for washing?Anyway.... I'll have to discover it myself if I manage to get it..... | ||

Welcome!!
That is wonderful. Do you know how many households had machines like these? Were they affordable to a factory or office worker?
In 11th grade, my Economics teacher gave a lecture explaining the Soviet planned-economy system and used washing machine production as an example. I daydreamed about what they must be like, now I know! | ||

Fantastic thread!
Welcome to new friends! My father's side came from the Ukraine and I still, to this day, wish I had been able to learn the language. Ivan and Daniil, welcome to the AW family. You'll fit right in. I love seeing and learning about new things a d this thread is just awesome.
Mike, thanks for the pics of the machine where you switch agitator for spin tub. I had no idea this existed but still, it makes sense. Was this about the only example or was this design actually common but only in another country? RCD | ||

ЭАЯ 3 тысяч& The bathrooms did not drain the water draining normally use a bucket or tub (bath, 30-40 liters). This washing machine worked from 1954 to 1996, it is not repaired, not even changed the grease in the gear box. | ||

Welcome Daniil! Thanks for showing us how your machines work! I will bet Chestermike is drooling after a ROMO! Mike, I never saw you use that pre-squeeze technique of pressing the lid down on the washer side while loading the spin dryer!! Tsk tsk!
Ivan thanks for posting the diagrams, so I see the ЭАЯ 3 did have a balance system but the factory avoided the seal problem by having the machine drain below the rubber shaft bumper. Interesting idea if you have floor drains or a big enough bathroom!

# 662350 I made a mistake, sorry. This is a nut that clamps the ground wire, which is Join of the water pipe. This is necessary for safe operation, the use of water (when water is poured into the hose from the tap), or you may receive an electric shock. | ||

ZVI....
Hi Daniil, the ZVI looks like it is an AEG clone, a very sturdy and heavy machine, its the only twintub of the era that we know has 3 electric motors, one for wash, spinning and the pump, whats is wrong with your spinner?

Some Questions for our Russian Friends:
Since life in the old Soviet Union was very different from life in Russia today, I am hoping some of our Russian members can tell us more about the following:
1) Were these machines available to everyone, or were they "special" merchandise available only to favored Party members? 2) What did they cost? 3) How were they sold? Were there special shops for appliances, or did department stores like GUM sell them? 4) How were they repaired? Were there repair agencies one could call? 5) When did true automatic washing machines appear under the Soviets? 6) Were automatic dryers ever available under the Soviets? 7) I have heard that American appliances were available in Soviet Russia, if one had the right connections and was rich. Does anyone know more about this? Thank you for showing us such wonderful machines! | ||

So....
....From what I can find online, the Vyatka machine (like the Vyatka Automat-14) was a European-style front-loading automatic, not an American-style top-loader.
It appears that Vyatka is now owned by Candy. I hope they make a dryer by now. I should think that anyone in Russia would appreciate a dryer in the winter-time. Here's a link to the Vyatka Website; I cannot find a link for an English-language version: CLICK HERE TO GO TO danemodsandy's LINK This post was last edited 02/26/2013 at 14:28 | ||

Probably some Vyatika even made out to Italy on border with Eastern countries like Croatia so, I just remember it was really a common brand to see on internet about machines in eastern countries like Hajdu and Polar! And it was also usual to see those small H axis toploader with no suspension like AEG used to make also.... This polish machine is a Vyatka like most I saw, did they have an heater also? I guess they did not though.....
Why the Kinshneu had greater power consumptions? Because of the heater? What did they made difficult to install? This post was last edited 02/26/2013 at 15:39 | ||

Russian names
If you look at the link to the old thread at the top of this page, Ingemar (Gorenje from Slovenia) gave a great example of the naming of Russian Appliances, I`ll paste it here...
"Morning :) You have to know that quite all of the Soviet brands were "geographical" names. Like for example some appliances brands: "Vyatka" washing machines (name of a river), "Minsk" refrigerators (name of a city), "Moskva" refrigerators (name of a city), "Saratov" refrigerators (name of a city), "Dnepr" vacuums (name of a river), "Riga" washing machines (name of a city) ... and so on. "Čajka" vacuums (seagull) This one is a bird, not a geographical name. "Evrika" was also a well known brand of washing machines along with "Vyatka" in the Soviet union. But this one is not a geographical name but the legendary exclamation of Archimed (Eureka). :)" Ingemar | ||

Sorry to fill this thread with a machine not Russian would you apologize, but since we were speaking about eastern countries and I mentioned Hajdu I could not avoid to share a funny thing I've just learned about the early Hajdu machines.... Well they were niothing but Indesit! This hajdu is nothing but an Indesit L5! Then..... lookit has of course the typical Indesit spin drain

Hoovermatic
Well Dr Mathew was right with the earlier explaination, belt driven off one motor, what an interesting set-up, rather like a Hoover wringer with the benefits of running the spinner and pump off the same motor,
The motors we had on ours run at around 1400rpm, so that would make this spin can the same speed?, it looked slower than ours as the force of the pump would have shot water all over the room..ha ha Ivan any chance of a video showing the inside and the belts working please? Cheers, Mike | ||

Video can be, but not soon, now washing machines tucked away in storage. The engine speed is 1420 rpm, the activator - 520 rpm, centrifuge and pump - 1250 rpm. | ||

Look at the size of those capacitors on the motor! Looks like to in parallel. Or one for the start and one for the run windings. Neat photos Ivan. So there is one pump only under the spinner and the wash tub drains into that as well as the spinner drains? So the pump runs only in spin or all the time? Do the two keys have 3 positions , down, middle, up?

Конденса
Capacitors are connected in series to each other. They are designed to start the engine after the engine attains rated speed, a centrifugal switch, which is mounted on the shaft inside the engine, turn off the capacitors. | ||

Hoovermatic
So if I`ve got this right...
Left Hand Selector is the function for Wash = Up, Spin = Down Right Hand Selector is for the Pump, Washtub Drain = Up, Spin Drain = Down I see why you would need to have the capacitors as the motor is having to move a heavy load in the spin dryer, the standard wash motor from a twintub just would not be powerful enough... | ||

Is that the heaterless model?
if so then its the same one a neighbour gave to my Father a long time ago who was looking for a 2 way motor for his lathe.
The said motor was installed without too much ado and when you went in the shed to sharpen a knife it was wring for forward and wash for reverse and the control panel was mounted in front of the lathe at hip height so if you had to stop quick you leant on the stop button and to my knowledge it may still be working as we sold the lathe after Dad's demise to a friend who had young sons interested in wood turning. So even though the washer may be long gone some parts are still about :o) Austin | ||

Hoovermatic
Many thanks Ivan, you clearly show us how to use the Russian Hoovermatic, I realise now you cant wash and spin at the same time, the controls appear very sturdy.
The motor clutch is unique to your washing machine,at least you had wonderful colour on your machines. You do realise you are going to have to explain what type of automatic washer and dryer is visible in the pictures as well...Lol | ||

Washing machines
Hi Ivan, please dont get dis-hartened, there are many people reading this thread, you have over 1,700 views on it....although I must say a few more members asking questions and seeing how they interpret your washing machines would be useful but we will work with what we have.....and they will still be reading !!
Nice to see you have good reviews of the modern LG, are they dear to buy in terms of todays wages etc? The Siberia twin tub looks interesting with its screw in drain hose, do I take it the spinning pulsator is at the front of the tub? and does the spin drier have a direct drive motor? | ||

AEG Lavalux ЗВИ Analog AEG washing machine, at least more similar in appearance, was a washing machine "Nistru", but washing tank it was the same as in "Siberia-3."Dimensions "Nistru" little more than the size of "ZVI", is seen in the photographs.

Superb
what a fantastic thread this has been, to see how Russia produced its own machines with all sorts of mechanical ingenuity is so uplifting, the Siberia would be one i would very much like to see in person.
Social history lesson for us over here in the west, i have only ever encountered a few Rigonda record players in my time and very well built they were almost to military standard. Thankyou for bringing so much to this group Ivan i am humbled in some ways by your enthusiasm and efforts to preserve these lovely old machines Gary | ||

Single Tub
Ivan
Thank you for sharing another great washing machine with us :) This seems to be based on the Hoover single tub washing machine which was first produced here in 1953. This was an update of the earlier 0307, produced here first in 1948 although based on pre-war US design. It was also later produced with a heater, and also power wringer (see Mike's picture above in the thread) and also no wringer at all - in fact this machine continued in production, more ore less unchanged, until the mid 1980s. For non heater, hand wringer versions, there were no switches on it at all, and no control for the pump - it remains engaged at all times, the hose being stoppered by the left hand position of the hose Al

Thank you for posting the pictures above. I understand the problem with no switch on the washing machine - in this country it is almost (not quite!) universal that our power outlets have a switch on them, so it is not so much a problem for us.

If I remember correctly... thats the exact same motor used in the old Hoover Single Tub washers without mechanical wringers the belt ran on the small pulley and the pump ran on the outside of the silver wheel I believe these were also used in some of the older tumble driers all made by Hoover of course.
Is this one made in Russia or has it been imported?

motor great restoration of the motor-I was wondering what type of motor it was,your good pictures answered that question:it is "shaded pole"type-that is why it has such a large fan in addition to propeller blade spokes of the pump drive wheel-shaded pole motors run hotter than other types,more airflow needed for cooling. | ||

Hello Ivan, great to hear from you and that you have another vintage washing machine, we found a similar machine a few years ago which needed a few renovations....here is the link to the previous thread!
The tub looks fantastic in the colour shade of green, have never seen that before!! CLICK HERE TO GO TO chestermikeuk's LINK

Hi Ivan...nice machine liking the green tub, I have a black / speckled one & a blue tub but never seen a green one !!
Your diagosis sounds right, a leaky pump will push water back into the gearbox via the impeller drive shaft, this would push oil up and out of the breather screw over time. Having worked on a few of these, I have a good understanding of them. I have had a quick look at the service manual too. Hope you can get it running!! Keith

Great to see the inside of the gearbox and drive workings and that under all that gunky mess of oil and water there is the shiny metal,keep up the good work and look forward to seeing the back together machine!!
We needed a new boot seal and managed to create a replacement tub seal from a Hoover washing machine sump hose, yogurt can and retainer strips which works fine!! | ||

Such an activator is very beautiful sprays water when it is filled with little in the washing tub. | ||
