Well not content with clocking up loads of miles between London, Cambridge and Wiltshire over the weekend, I managed to pick up this Spinarinse from Northampton on Monday. I've been after one of these for a while after our next door neighbour used to use one - she had to wrap a cloth round the outlet spout as it used to leak. Unfortunately it's not working although I've not done the basic check of making sure the fuse is ok!

The workings. You will see that the rubber outlet pipe is totally perished so will need replacing. Also there is a tell tale ring marking the interior of the casing which probably indicates a leak on the pump. There is a lot of old mouse poo inside the casing so I think it's been a home to a couple at some point!
Has anyone got any service information for this that they would be willing to share? I think I know what to do but it makes all the difference having a guide to go by Steve :) |

Well done Steve on saving another classic, as Al says built like a tank, a little restricted to get to as the base has a very good chassis, but once released and swung to the side its easy to work on!! The grey model was the one my nan had, it was called the "Hoover 55" as it was on special offer from "Critchleys Hoover Centre" at the price of - you guessed it £55 guineas...

Thanks for posting this Mike, someday I might get around to having a look at mine, that big chassis is very intimidating though.
I wonder what that curious hose arrangement in reply 19 is for? I have never seen one of those before. The other thing is that the bridge shown for model 0319 is common enough (this is a piece of plastic which clips on to the RH side of the spinner and LH side of wash tub which, in theory, allows you to transfer wet washing from tub to spinner without all the water running down in between. In theory ....... However, unless I am getting my numbers wrong, surely the 307 is the original single tub with wringer. I did not even think it was the same height as the spinarinse never mind being bridged to it Al |

Wow thanks Mike. Will help loads so might have a go at it this weekend.
I have to say I haven't seen that hose arrangement either and can only assume it was to allow you to mix the temperature when you were filling the tub but that's just my guess. I've got a length of rubber outlet hose which I think was for the hotpoint top loaders where you used plastic elbows to make the hose suit your plumbing so I'm hoping that will work. Will keep you posted Cheers Steve :) |

The spinarinse is doing just fine thanks although I don't use it as often as I should . Tell Nick it went to a good home and I did buy and read his book. Cheers Lance |

Crikes how time flies. Well seeing as I'd managed to get the Colston fixed I took the Spinarinse out of the shed and got that back on its feet too. It had been home to mice before I'd picked it up and it turned out that there was a nibbled wire that I'd missed last time. All working fantastic and despite being cracked, the rubber hose is holding up well. It's a bit stiff to swivel the outlet but other than that it works great with a very quick stop on the brake.
I've also taken a video of this getting the extra water out of the clothes that were washed in the Colston. Will upload soon too. That's two working Spinarinses and the Colston. Just a shed full of other stuff to go lol :) Heres a few pics of the repair 1st one is chassis out |

ANC here it is next to its younger cousin which needed a new hose and some lubrication. See how the motor is now the same as the Hoovermatic spin motor. Managed to get an original rubber hose for it - in fact they sent me 2!
Special Thanks to Chestermike for the service info. Would have struggled without this. S :) |

Hi guys, this is a really interesting thread. I have memories of neighbours having the single tub and spinner side by side. My mum had a hot point twin tub with the same solid arm that pumped from the spinner in to the sink.
How does the single tub empty? I know older models had a gravity drain pipe. In the later models there is that rubber hose along the back of the tub connected at both ends. I assume that is for emptying but how does it work? Is there a continuous water pump running whilst the wash plate in the side of the tub spins? Cheers Simon |

Thanks for the explanation Al. I was wondering if the pump runs all the time the motor is running, does the water recirculate back in to the tub during washing? I wouldn't think that when the empty pipe is attached at both ends it would be like a dead end. Surly that would not be good for the pump. However, if it did circulate you could just poke the thin end of the fill hose in to the port where the water recirculates back in to the tub. I think the Servce TT worked like that.
Happy New Year to one and all Simon |

Great brochures Al - thanks for posting and yes happy to help get the pump up and running. The impeller on mine was loose on the shaft so it could be the same issue with yours. I was hoping to get the videos on line but having a few IT issues at the mo with the video. Hopefully should have it sorted at the weekend.
Does anyone know what the speed of these are? I would imagine the newer models would have been the same as the twin tubs as they had the same numbers but not sure about these models. Hi Simon. The pump on the single tub does run constantly and against a dead end. Not sure why they didn't either fit a lever to disengage the pump or fit a connection back to the tub but there you go. You have to make sure the lid is on when you go to empty as the impeller can really throw the water around and you get an indoor shower! S :) |

Hi Ian
You might be right as it does sound slower. The D3010 I have is rated at 240W and the 3004A is rated at 300W so you would think it might spin faster but perhaps motor technology was less efficient in those days. Be interested to know if anyone has any old literature that lists the speed anyway, while I'm on a roll here is a link to a short video of it in action spinning the load that has just come out of the Colston.

Thanks Mike
Funny how the speeds slowed down a bit with the newer models. Did they standardise on the twinnies and spin dryers after the 3314L? No match for the hotpoints! The square machine was easier as the pin holding the brake lever on the 3004a is a real sod to get at and remove and reinsert! Also I was more familiar with the motor on the newer one as it's the same as the Twinnies I have. S :) |
