So this interesting machine was listed on Kijiji, and I bought it. I understand that Fust is store in Sweeden, so this must be the house brand washer.
The good the bad and the ugly: Washer fills, Program timer works, Heater and Thermostat work! Pump too weak to pump out, Motor not working... When I first got it the motor worked for about 2 minutes, and then smoked and no longer works. Curiously, during what should be spin, if I manually spin the drum, the motor will turn, until it stops to reverse. When I watch the pump spinning it seems to work OK, but when under load (with water) it tries and tries but can't pump. Would be nice to get it going again. How many people in Canada have the luck to have a "real" top load H axis! Guy | ||

Some inside pics...
Does anybody have an idea who made this? Maybe then I could get a new motor and pump?
I think it's interesting that there is a labeled dispenser for bleach. Guy | ||

Fust is not Swedish but Swiss:
www.fust.ch... I'm not totally sure, but your washer could be a rebadged Antionio Merloni product. | ||

Here are a few pictures of a Norwegian Upo (an Antonio Merloni brand). It's newer than yours, but looks the same on the inside. So it's an Antonio Merloni brand. Others than Upo are Ardo, Nordland, Servis, Edy, EBD, EFS, Elin, Tecnogas, Baumatic, Elto, Bompani, Blücher, Eurotech, Clatronic, Novomatic, Philco, Selectro, WegaWhite, Nardi, Eudora, Studio, Atlantic and Thor. Just to make it complicated. ;-)

The problem is Antonio Merloni went bankrupt. The company was taken over by Vestel in Turkey. Parts may not be made anymore.
Since these machines were sold as Servis too, you might try here: shop.ukwhitegoods.co.uk/servis-wa... | ||

If the motor turned a while after being turned by hand i would suspect and change the motor capacitor. If the pump is a magnetic one then you just have to replace it. | ||

I went ahead
and checked for the capacitor. Well...as you will see, I think this one is indeed ready to be changed!
I think I may have found the replacement (see attached link). I would like to hear from someone who knows about the numbers on the can before I go and order it. By the way...does anyone know what is the hard, black stuff that is busting out? Guy CLICK HERE TO GO TO bellalaundry's LINK | ||

I had a look at the link you posted and the replacement seems correct. Anyway the price is much higher than the usual. A capacitor like this doesn t cost more than 8/10€!!! | ||

@ Louis Baumatic was a Merloni brand, too? I thought they were quite different from the others... | ||

Yes Christian, Baumatic has been part of the Antonio Merloni stable too. I don't know for how long. Antonio Merloni bought up a lot of national operating brands to get a foot between the door in every European country. Nobody ever heard of Edy outside the Netherlands, but overhere it was a well known brand for quite a while. Same with Servis in the UK. I'm not saying all Baumatic machines were rebadged Merloni products though, I don't know too little about the Baumatic brand. But I have seen some Baumatic machines that were clearly rebadged Merloni products.
