I had one for a while, sold it on because it didn't fit in my kitchen. See this thread:

Thanks for posting your old thread Louis, I had the notion that you had had one of these at one time.
Anyhow, It was me that snapped it up, now contemplating how I am going to get it into the back of the car seeing its 27" wide ....... Peter, if you are with shouting distance of the East Midlands you are welcome to come over and have a look at it once I get it home, it will be joining several later models Al |

This dishwasher appeared in the October 1965 Hhich report so Louis date is more or less correct. I wonder if that device on the side of the machine on report is a water softener (fortunately my water at home is soft already) - the machine I have just bought does not appear to have the same fitting.

I think it it a water softener in the which picture, it seemed to have been an optional extra, one of the reasons I did not bid was that our water is incredibly hard! Also the extra width.. Not easy to fit in.. |

That's indeed a water softener. When I got my G45 it came with one. It was still filled with salt. I must have posted more pictures, but can't find the thread with those. So I searched and found the pictures I took back then when it was in my shed. Here they are.

Thanks, Al and Louis, so glad I didn't bid too - there may have been a war! Would love pics/vid of it working and actually know if it was as good as it seemed in the ad'. Thanks again, P |

Well I finally picked up the dishwasher this morning. Communications with the seller have been difficult to say the least of it, so I was wondering what the collection would be like. Actually it was far better than I had expected, the sellers were quite friendly and the machine was quite easily disconnected from the services. I was fully expecting copper piping to be plumbed right onto the machine but with a little help the Bendix style tap turned shut off the water and the waste hose removed from the stand pipe.
There was a second Bendix tap which I presume was for a washing machine, there was a hose connected to it but it had been cut off. It looked like the sink unit had been installed in the 1970s, therefore about 10 years after they would have had the machine. There was a Bosch WFF2001 or similar on the other side of the sink, that was not up for sale, at least not at this point I have not been able to run the machine yet, but it seemed in reasonable condition, I think it had been used rather more than they said, but it was still in pretty good nick - the drain hose had been replaced with a modern corrugated one at some point. There was no water softener, but I do not need one where i now live anyway. I cannot remember is this has one wash are or two - I forgot to look LOLOL The pictures are: 1. Underside 2. Close Up Motor 3. Rear of machine below wash chamber 4. Front of machine below wash chamber 5. Close up of electrical connection - I have no idea what the two switches are for 6. Upper rack 7. Lower rack 8. Wash arm 9. Filter 10 Front of machine |

The seller mentioned that they had an old dryer which did not work - unspecified what was wrong. Given that there is not much that can actually go wrong with a dryer I decided to speculate £10 for this, presumably 1970s, AEG model. Hopefully it can be made to work again. It was just a shame that the front has been cleaned sop vigorously that the pin striping has been worn off. This was clearly a substantial machine

Nice score on those machines... Being in the US though, my curiosity has been piqued about these connectors. Would the voltage on those be 240/416? I had not previously heard of three phase current in a residential setting. How delightfully convenient! Keith |

Congratulations on a Miele from a time quality meant heavy! If there is only a little rust on the surface of the interior, try running a cycle with a tablespoon of citric acid. I never used mine, so can't tell anything about the sequence of a cycle.
You'll have to fix that AEG dryer. I had a similar Zanker dryer, it was hot! Great for drying towels! |
