The marks around the back panel opening is the remains of the sound insulating (rattle absorbing) foam, which has crumbled away. Obviously there is some pitting rust too. Will have to replace with some modern black foam tape...

wheres the powder go ?
Hi. the powder goes in the drum for prewash and the powder for main wash goes into compartment in top of door porthole,theres a water inlet in top of door boot and one in back of drum.The same method as used on Indesit Moon,but this probably works.Good find and looks to be in good shape for its age.Enjoy regards Nige.

Car permitting (dont buy cars with start/stop buttons! the button is an untrustworthy gimmick and, alongwith the clutch switch, is giving me grief) the Candy will be transported to Crewe this weekend to be plugged and plumbed in! Fingers crossed Paul | ||

Hey Paul.... you see, I WAS right!!! IT IS A WASHING MACHINE!!! LOL Congrats Paul, what a neat little washer! I was going to ask what year it is, but I actually read what you wrote about it and learned it's late 70's. SWEET! The detergent powder chute is really something else, I have NEVER seen anything like that before! I am assuming when filling the water flows through the chute to dispense the detergent, yes? I'd love to see a video of how that works if you have the time. I may have missed it in the text, but what is the capacity and do you know what RPM it spins at? Thanks much and CONGRATS again!

Very nice little machine! Must be the earliest known surviving Candy Auto in the UK by a country mile too! And a bit easier to find space for ;-) S | ||
