Looking for an L5 I found these two Indesits: 1981 092AOI and a 1978 L6SIV, both need new bearings.

Gary, Indesit Washers, Dishwashers & Fridges were imported by Katz International Corporation (KIC) from the early 60's. The last washers sold here were the 663W models. I bought a new spider & Hub for the 092, although the old one still looks good after 29 years.

Indesit 092 AOI First test run after replacing spider & hub, door boot & soap hose. I will have to replace the sump hose as well. BTW these machines are very quiet, bur very energetic.

Hi Tony. Machine looks great and cant wait to see more pics of it. You decided what to do with the L6 yet? Restoration or parting out? Paul | ||

Dream Machine? The guy who gave me the 092 called & said that his daily driver (also 092) was leaking at the pump seal, after replacing the sump & bubble hoses. I paid him for the hoses & took the machine, which turned out to be a 1979 L8LI in mint condition.

Well done on getting such a lovely machine. One of my Aunties had the british version of the L8, my othet aunty having the L5. I loved the look of the L8 but it wasn't as fun to watch, it had high water levels but drained and spun, not like the L5 which had the spin drain. I am puzzled however about a video on youtube of the L8 that spin drains and has low water levels....I know for sure that my aunty's one did not.

Indesit / Hirundo
Hi Tony, congrats on the latest aquesitions, like many firms of old, Indesit produced some sturdy classic machines, look at the way the 092 is made, those metal cabinet top braces, large weights etc....the spiders where the weak point but they sold well over here...
That L6 is too good & classic to use as the donor machine IMHO..looking forward to seeing more pics!!! Cheers, Mike | ||

Spin Drain Paul: The L6 has been parted out as it would cost too much to restore. The L7 (looks like an L5 with the controls moved to the front & timer on the right) was never sold here. We had L5, L6, L8 & L10 models. Paulc: The L8 is deffo a spin drain - I had to replace the pump housing as the seal is not availlable seperately.

L10
Was that the machine with the BIO dial on it? My Grandma used to clean for a man who had an Indesit looked similar to the L6 but had programme dial, temp dial, bio dial and one rocker switch, I think the Bio dial set the length of time you wanted to soak for but this is going back to when I was 7 or 8 so it is a good few years ago. I do remember the machine had high wash and rinse levels and didn't spin drain.

L10LGB I never saw an L10LGB, but remember seeing the 101 new in the early eighties. It fascinated me, as it had the usual rotary timer on the left and two sliders one above the other. One was for temp & the other for spin speed. Take a look at the motor attached and you will see that it appears to be a brush motor.

L10
Hello all, i remeber the L10 well ,as years ago i sold a used one to a relative.Well when i say sold i think i got 2 bars of choclate for it.Paulc was right it had a metalic copper/bronze coloured facia and knobs.It could have been the first connection between Hotpoint and Indesit as they were an electronicaly speed cotroled machine fitted with G E C brush motor as used in Hotpoints of the time.The motor in previous picture is probably equivalent replacement, as all the ones i ever saw were fitted with a G E C motor.I think it was the first Indesit fast spin machine 800rpm,sold here.I vaugley remember there being a matching tumble dryer sold here, that i think was souced from Zerowatt..Docker that L8 looks great congratulations .Regards Nige.
