A warm welcome to the club Steve, Central Midlands appears to be where many collectors are heading and based, hope to catch up soon, The English Electric wash and rinse was a workhorse in many a kitchen, access can be through the side and sounds like the gearbox may be tight and in Drive so the motor has stalled, with power off see if you can get your hand in and turn the large pulley connected to the belt from the motor... If its not been used for many years it could just need freeing up....
Is yours like this model? |

Hi Steve
I had exactly the same problem with my Colston so I've attached the link in case the pictures help. I was worried how I was going to tackle this but solder and heat shrink tubing did the trick. I have a bit of a phobia of wringer machines having had my arm go through one when I was 9 but as Mathew says its a big tub on your machine and it looks in great shape. Good luck S CLICK HERE TO GO TO sesteve's LINK |
