I don't know those models too well, so this is just general advice. So, here goes. There are four ways to set up a spin. 1)Do it to it. Except for the extremely powerful AEGs and Mieles of earlier eras, this approach died out about the time things went past 700rpm. 2)Use a sensor to trip when things are out of balance and skip the spin or leave it at the lower speed. 3)Full electronics 4)What I suspect to be your situation: A variable diameter pulley mounted on the drum. It uses centrifugal force* to raise the speed smoothly. Eventually, the springs involved wear out or things gum up over time. Or, the belt just plain slips due to age and wear. All problems are fixable. Please, take the top off, give us a quick shot of the pulley on the back of the drum and I bet someone can help you directly from there. Those were good machines. Which is why I didn't see too many in the late 80's when I was working in a shop. Good luck! *Yes, I know, I know. Let's not and say we didn't, ok? |

I've frequently had the pleasure of visiting and spending holidays in the UK, but never lived there. Got relations and friends across Ireland and Scotland and way way up in the very tip-top North of England (where mad maggie just about destroyed all life as we know it). Torchwood is my entire reference for Cardiff, but it looks like a neat place to live. Those machines were marketed here, too and have a good reputation. Hope that was your problem, next time you have her open, give us a few shots, would love to see. Have you thought of joining secretsanta this year? Still time! |
