Finally gotten around to editing the Fisher & Paykel EW50 ECS top loader, its a 1000rpm top spin speed, stainless steel basket and hot and cold fill, hot fill is 60d+ fed by gas combi. I think this was the last of the belt drives before the patented Direct Drive came in..electronic controls, press control and I love the "Advance to Next Sequence" control...It found its way over here after a migrating family returned from Aus...

That's a great vid Mike. I love the sound as it ramps up to full spin speed, it sounds like a GM class 66 diesel loco! How does the softener dispenser work? Am I correct in thinking it dispenses into the spray rinse? Thanks Ian. | ||

Lovely Thanks for posting this Mike, have been dying to see this one in action for years! Love the strange electrical sounding motor, a bit like a robot walking on agitate and an electric tube train accelerating and decelerating from spin! Matt | ||

Very nice, and very ahead of it's time... it's almost like it's imitating the rinse sequence of a front loader. The profile spins are interesting too. How long does it take for a standard cycle?

Great video Mike!
Always wanted to see what one of these worked like :-) My friends had one like this but i never saw it working. I love how there are a lot of things the same with todays fisher and paykel and the Gentle Annie. I think as a housewife in 1987 , to have a fisher and paykel in the laundry would be something to show off, hyacinth bucket style lol . "Im just running my fisher and paykel gentle annie all push button totally electronic top loader washer with variable spin speeds and two speciality cycles. Do pop round for coffee at 11!" Thanks Mike :-D Happy New Years! Matty. | ||
