Just thought I would bump this. I can't have it myself, but it would be nice if someone could rescue it. Tom. |

I'd be over the moon if I found an EE over here in Ireland! Somebody save it, it looks like it can run without much work. James. |

i thought these to be obsolete so i sold the matching dryer in 2009 ! however the wires had vulcanised amongst other problems so it was not an easy repair job if the new owner chose to restore it. I wonder if this is connected to water? the way its sat it looks sort of plumbed in!
I would love it, but only to save it from scrap, but as space is limited and time is short i look forward to someone else saving it and perhaps seeing its rescue and seeing wash again one day!

Hi all,the rotary thumbwheel did alter the the programe when turned,all it did was operate 1 microswitch which canceld the spin part of the cycle for the man made and wool fabric cycles ,if i recall correctly ,but its been a long time since ive seen one.They were only cold fill automaticaly and if the user wanted to fill with hot water they came with a red rubber hose connected to back of machine with a tap adaptor on the end which had to be fixed to sink hot water tap and filled manualy.Transmision is as 3 belt westinghouse so probably no problem there is no gearbox to go wrong .Very simple electrics as just 1 solenoid for drain pump and 1 for spin.The heater is easy to access as there is a rectangular removable plastic panel screwed into the wall of the inner drum. Overall a very strong quiet machine and mechanicaly wouldnt be a problem .The only problem would be perrished rubber parts,e.g. no modern day door seal would fit, as the drum fixing lip faces inwards and was fixed by garter ring inside the tub.For its age though this looks to be in prety good shape so i hope somebody saves it .Regards Nige.
