Can anyone help me find out the date this Creda Washer was manufactured.

I'm guessing this Washer could have been made in Blythe Bridge.

Definitely a Blythe Bridge built machine. They never seemed as common as Hotpoint or Hoover, but I did use an Electra badged one in a holiday cottage once. Not sure about the date, but it's probably mid to late 80s.

It's such a smooth & quiet machine even when the load is out of balance & i love the single short interim spins.

One of the last proper Creda machines before they started to re-badge Hotpoints. The main thing I remember was it was a pain to change the drum bearings as the front does not come off.

I'm rather curious to find out what the spare wired up timer terminal block could have been for.

Yes Fido i agree with you regarding the build quality of this Blythe Bridge Creda made machine. I'm well happy with it & i'm so lucky to have come across it & luckily the door parts i need are still available.

looks like a nice Creda there, definitely a late true Creda before a similar design was used on reskinned Hottie's, I think this could be made in January 1991 as it has 191 at the end of the serial number, but once u've restored it, I'll greatly look forward 2 see it in action as I've never really seen 1 working lol :)

What a great find! My auntie had a similar machine by Electra,the last model before hotpoint made the 1200 spin machine

I'd love to be able to find an Electra 11500 model,one can dream lol,your collection is getting quite impressive and I'm looking forward to seeing the creda in action when your door arrives

Hopefully it won't be long Neil. The parts have been ordered, so while i'm waiting for them to arrive i will tidy up the paint work.

Excellent!!
And if memory serves,the wash cycle and spins should be almost identical to my Nan's 83 electra 11500,the rinse water level may not be as high! But just the sight of that drum fills me with nostalgia :)

Hey Craig, just noticed this beauty! I haven't been on here for a while...but really nice to see the Creda Super Speed coming out the wood works. As we've discussed before, these are one my favourite series of machines. What's the update? Did you manage to find the door, etc?

Hass.

PS: If I am correct is was these series of machines that spun anti clock wise...right? :)

Luckily the door parts i need are still available but are currently on back order. I'm just waiting for the stock to arrive & yes this machine spins anti clock wise. Can't wait to get it up & running & to video it in action.

Hi craig.

Sorry for delay in responding - playing catch up on the forum this evening!

Great save with the 17032 - one of the final series of Creda machines, before they became Hotpoint 95's in drag.

Smart styling and pleased that you are able to procure a new door for it (hopefully!), so we can see some videos soon!
Never saw a proper Creda in action, despite having a 10500 at the top of the street.
Always makes me sad to remember the classic machines that I grew up with and that we would love to see again today.

Righty oh - the 17032.
The 191 definitely has something to do with it and I would agree with Alan about it being January 1991.

Roll on the videos!
Paul

Still waiting for the parts Paul.

The door catch has an available due in date of early December but still no word regarding the door hinge. I could kick myself because i came across a matching Dryer a week before i got the Washer & i'm sure it had the same door hinge.

Sorry for the late reply


Sadly I never did get the replacement door parts, but I did get to watch it going through a full cotton cycle, was expecting more from this machine but the programming was rather boring.

Hi Craig,

Do you still have this machine? If you are interested I have found an alternative supply of the parts you need.

Tom


Post# 773764 , Reply# 26   7/29/2014 at 10:50 (3,552 days old) by miele4life (UK )        

as it's the only classic UK made washing machine that I still haven't seen in action yet, I'd like a rough idea as to what it does during a normal wash programme, I know it'll be the usual soak & rain affair but after hearing many rumours on these, do they actually spin anti-clockwise? cos I think the spin cycle is interesting on these so I know that similar models will do the same when it comes to programming. :)

'Childhood Machine'

Optima (reply#12) mentions seeking a machine from the past. What 'model number' (from the front panel) or 'type number' (from the rear data-plate) are you seeking??? I live adjacent to the old Creda works, and the local second-hand shops still have Creda machines in them (employees bought them at 'staff discount', so there were LOTS of them around here). I can keep any eye open for you, and let you know if I spot one. Sadly, I'm not a 'paid-up' member, so I cannot send you a 'private message', but can append to this thread.

All best

Dave T

Here are a few pictures from members on this site. These are the classic Creda/Electra Washers that I would just love to get my hands on. My email address is optima1973@gmail.com If you ever come across any just let me know.

Thanks Craig

That's a shame! It must be more and more difficult as the years go on to find parts for these kind of machines,
The classic Creda/Electra machines are as rare as hens teeth these days! I'd love to find a 11500 or a 11400 crusader model
Are you keeping the machine or will you wait in hope for a part?

I had to let the Creda 17032 Supaspeed go Neil,

Today I got hold of basically the same machine in the form of an Electra 17018 Electronic Deluxe 1150. It is in perfect working condition.

Hi Neil, another fine specimen of Creda...

If you are parting the 17032 out would be interested in it for parts etc, especially the AEG motor and wiring loom, cant let these rare specimens go to waste!!

Yes it is, but its the next one up, got the bearings and found the matching dryer!!

So I take it there are no parts from the earlier credo you got rid of, like the AEG motor?

Great stuff! I've been watching the videos on YouTube of the electra 17018 spin cycles and they seem slightly different to what i remember from my nan's 11500 model,
If my memory is right the old style creda/electra was just one continuous spin up to 1000rpm,where the 17018 has a short spin before redistributing and doing the final 1150 spin,and also the distribution seems shorter before going into the spin,
I've loved seeing the videos,great feeling of nostalgia! Hopefully many more posts to come from these awesome machines

Neil

Post# 779100 , Reply# 39   8/24/2014 at 16:25 (3,526 days old) by supaspeed (Swansea,UK)        

I grew up with a Creda Supaspeed 17011 which looked almost identical to the Electra above. The only differences I can think of are that it had an 1100rpm fast spin and 600rpm slow spin. It also span differently by launching fast into a spin rather than beginning slow like this one and it didn't redistribute after spinning, it just remained at distribute speed until the timer advanced.

I loved that machine and I do still have it but it isn't in use. The bearings went for the third time and so the machine was replaced. I wasn't willing for it to be scrapped so it now lives in the shed. I intend on replacing the bearings at some point but I keep putting it off. I just hope it still works as it hasn't been used since 2004.

Robert.

The bearings are still available for your Creda Robert.

Without a doubt the best looking inner drum from Creda.
