Huh, that's interesting. Didn't know that Bendix made a washer with that style cabinet. When you say "semi-automatic" is that by design, or because of the pump seal problem? I would imagine that a seal for a 30's-40's Bendix would work in that machine, but perhaps someone else knows more. By the way, you don't have to start a new thread to post more photos. Just post them as replies to this thread. Cheers. | ||

Bendix Semi-Auto
Hey Darren, welcome to the club, lovely looking Bendix, lets hope the guys can help with it....hows the sudz, have you managed to control them with your very softened water??? See you email about posting the other fab pics in your own album... I love this machine, its a semi automatic so you can do all sorts with it, even spray rinses for as long as you like, now tell me another machine FL you can do that on, Hows the Servis MK2 twinny?? and the Maytag Top Loader doing?? Cheers, Mike | ||

Bendix
This machine is totally semi automatic, you have to turn the tap on and off, (and dont forget or we know what will happen!!!) then switch on the motor and heater, watch the temperature guage rise until desired temp is reached, its colour coded, not critical...then time the wash....switch to drain and then drain out the water, switch to spin for as long as you like""" then turn on water to rinse, you can even spin rinse, which really kills sudz as Darren has a water softener and even half a wash tablet is sometimes too much... Heres a pic of the pump area which shows the cable, this moves when you slide the grey control on the top, moving the ball valve and letting the water flow out...the pump is engaged all the time with this machine, so when the motor is on, the pump is working, BUT the valve usually stops the flow of water... The problem is the force of water all the time puts extra pressure on the seal and thats why they fail...any thoughts guys...I`m not sure you had any semi auto machines...Did You?? That dryer would be the nearest match Bob, and perfect for this 9lb load machine!!! Nathan, now whats this machine you mention ??is it a Bendix??

Hoses connect at the top, But the aluminium fittings have correoded away. New copper ones will be soldered in place. The whole outer cabinet comes off with 6 screws and then the machine is fully exposed.

that is a 1956 Bendix. That is when that machine was made. The timer to the right has the water temp control worked into the cycle. Depending on what you want hot or warm you turn the timer dial to that start setting. The left control is the water miser with infinite level control for those oddly shaped items and loads. jet | ||

The Bendix tumbler was also made as a semi automatic in this country with no fill valve, but it was the earlier style machine. It had a special fill hose with a flattened metal adapter on the end that locked into the soap chute on top so that the hose did not have to be held in place during fills. | ||

I don't see that
that is any different a pump than on a standard machine. The only difference is the bicycle control on the top where the solenoid usually sits. The parts for the interior should be the same. Unfortunatetly I know I don't have any spares for the smaller pump but you can up convert it to the Combo pump with some hose trickery. I'll bet the cover has rotted around the edge that forms the seal for the pump lever and that is your problem so what you need is a whole new pump cover. My two cents jon | ||
