I took the back off to clean out the usual lint from the heater and fan and around the wires and this is what I found.....NO LINT!! She has seen very little use.

This machine is a keeper. I love it. The reversing is fantastic. I was origianlly hoping to find a reversing Hoover dryer but im more than happy to have the Creda. Can someone date this machine for me please? I have no idea. My guess is mid 80's? Mark xx | ||

Paul was wondering would the numbers 8403 on the ratings label mean March 84? Have no idea if there is a dating system to Creda machines like Hoover or Hotpoint. Mark x | ||

Nice!
Hey Mark Congrats on that- it really does look hardly used! Will you be venting it? Paul Its nice to see the Philco version of the square door Bendix- I have to say I do prefer the Bendix version for looks tho. On the subject of Philcos when I was working where I do for the 1st time(1989-90) we picked up a Philco/Ford washing machine which I believe was about the same age as me. The door had a hatch for the powder as opposed to a dispenser and it still had a sticker on the glass warning you to KEEP HANDS OUT UNTIL DRUM STOPS. If only I knew then what I do now lol......

Hey mark! Congrats on the new toy!! I too don't know too much about real creda machines, except that my next door neighbour had a microtronic digital slanted facia creda! It was a lovely washer. I used it loads for her! Paul!I too saw that Husqvarna, it caught my eye immediately, it was too far away from what i recall. And here is the said machines pic from ebay :-) Darren

Or is that the hair-dryer attachement? Top left. There is so much I want to say about this, but the words escape me. Let's start with ...and the engineer who designed it remained employed?

Creda!!
Mark Puurrrfect!!!! but what do you expect, Creda cut their cloth on Drying Appliances such as the Creda Debonair Spinners and the Tumble Dryers - these where one of the most efficient, easy to use and quiet dryers of the day!!! Makes you think why oh why we ditch the technology of old, quiet vented dryers with reversing action every 60 / 70 secs, couple that with sensor drying and bingo!!! Am needing the Electra version when anyone sees one to match the Electra Washer - orange buttons!!keep looking I will..

Mark too true, and there I was singing Indesits praise for our Indesit washer and dishwasher for giving nearly 2 years trouble free service and excellent results only to open the washer door this morning to find 2 drum paddles have come undone with my poor clothes only just escaping being ripped to shreds with the sharp metal underneath. I for one had changed my mind about Merloni appliances and depending how long the new paddles last I hope it stays changed. Im only ever so slightly disappointed yet. 2 new paddles have bene ordered but what with this weeks weather preventing me from doing too much laundry I saved last weeks holiday clothes along with bedding and 2 weeks worth of towels to get sone tommorrow. Breakdowns only happen when you have loads to do eh. SO............. Seeing as I have the best part of 5 loads of washing its been agreed to temporarily install one of our collection machines. Thing is I could do with a fastish spin so the Ecologic 1300 could be a goer but I cant decide. Part of me really wants a Hotpoint too and the Ariston and a Servis!!!!! I cant decide!!!!!! HEEEELPPPP | ||

Creda Dryer
Hello Mark Congratulations on choosing a bloody good machine, i am slowly becoming more and more aware of what a dynamic and forward thinking company Creda were. The variations that they produced and the different ideas is all to their credit. What a pity like all the other companies we are we are now.............. So again enjoy your machine it is a unique and interesting model Gary Ps ROB you mean you still havent done the washing from nearly two weeks ago!!!! that will get the net curtains twitching and hushed bitchy comments from neighbours as you pass them by :-) | ||
