With Lamont acquiring an FL812 recently, me picking up a grey fascia machine tomorrow and most importantly, me promising Mark a thread of the brochure I bought from him a couple of years ago, here is the 1987 brochure of Zanussi offerings!

Enjoy.

Apologies for teasing, but I am going to put a pause on posting the brochure.
The picture size that gets uploaded, doesn't do the brochure justice, so will hold off until the picture upload testing is done.
Wont be too long, I am sure.

This has to be my favorite machine ever made, and wish I still had mine!

My favourite range too. It was a sad day when the carboran tub machines with the new drum started appearing in 1990. Even then I felt the build quality wasn't quite the same. Wish I'd kept my brochures!

The new acquisition 3 or so weeks ago, turned out to be a very neat and tidy FL812. A new waste hose and the machine was back in full working order ....

Very good! Mikey and I have the FLE3000, and as of 2 other machines it is destined for you :) The spider is broken on it. Also had to leave a Zanussi FL815, that was at the electrical shop, again too a broken spider machine. You have ended up with the drawer and the filter is here somewhere I think too.

Pic of the FLE3000 below :D

FLE3000

Also found a picture of the display switched on....

We didnt use it with the broken spider, we only switched it on to see what the display looked like and to check the diplay worked.

Thanks very much for posting this Paul.

I love the design and engineering of this range. Originally introduced in 1985, production overlapped with the earlier Washcraft range until early 1987. 1987 was a year when Zanussi's integration into Electrolux gathered pace. IAZ International would, by the middle of that year become plain 'Zanussi Ltd', and Electrolux serial numbers and part numbers were adopted.

Regarding the washing machines, in 1988 additional Jetsystem models, including washer dryers were launched with the standard grey rather than silver fascia and door. The WDT range was also introduced around that time. The next change was in 1989 which saw the introduction of the white fascia range, which included the FL815, FL816, FL1016, FL1025 and Computawash FE4000. The introduction of Nexus Carboran tub machines in 1990 was the first visual sign of Electrolux economies taking over the Zanussi factory in Pordenone. By 1992 production of machines with old style drum and 'heavy' engineering would cease, save for a couple of Spanish built models.

Interesting that on Reply #19 there's a picture of the 1100rpm FL1123 model (notice the programme indicator viewing window above the dial), yet it isn't mentioned later on in the brochure. It seems to confirm my suspicion that this model was short lived for some reason. Obviously, the electricity board range and the Currys and Rumbelows exclusives are not listed in this brochure either.

As the owner of 3 80s Zanussi machines, it is worrying to hear of spider breakages occurring. Spare parts for the drum, outer tub and inner spider have not been available for well over 10 years now. I found a supplier in Spain which listed the inner spiders but they don't supply to the UK unfortunately. I've no idea whether they actually have them in stock though.

If anyone would like any spares or technical information for this range I would be more than happy to help. Hopefully a donor drum can be found for the FLE3000. Beware that different drums were used depending on the date code, spin speed, motor type (induction or brush) and bearing housing ID. Some had a large single bearing, while others had a more conventional two bearing setup. Certain models used a stainless steel tub rather than vitreous enamel as well.

Tom
