The Creda Sensamatic - model 37402, sat a top the 10500. Argghhhhhh - made another boob - the autodry was model 37400 and the Reversamat was model 37401. Creda had dropped the 'TD' model initials by this time...

Our very first automatic washer when we were kids the Ti Creda Super de Luxe Electronic. One hell of a powerful machine the sound that machine made on spin was like no other machine. I always thought it was a 1000 spin machine not a 850. The rhythm spin always fasinated me. Not the most relable machine a problem with the timer started after about 2 years it would stick & we would have to move it on. Our auntie got the same model at the same time as us & it started with the same fault as ours. So you could not go out the house & leave it on or it would just keep on tumbling for ever. The only option button we would use now & again was the TimeSave button which cut out 1 rinse & the rhythm spin.

Thanks for posting, Paul, these are very interesting. Do these dryers vent from the front grille on the door? I see a notation about an optional exhaust hose, if venting from the door does it snap onto the front? I do like the option of drop-down or side-swing door, would save many bumped heads when stacked on a washer!

Hi Paul,
Nice to see the old brochure again, I have the same one !! When i was at senior school we had two Home Economics rooms and the to two teachers had vast amounts of of appliance literature, probably by filling in the forms and receiving an abundance of pamphlets, brochures etc from companies..probably dating back to the late 60's. I managed to get a few bits, this one being one, along with a Servis Compact brochure. I would upload some onto here, but there is soo much literature now, i don't have it catalogued anymore..although i mainly focus on 50's & 60's. Happy uploading !! Keith | ||

Paul, Here in Cumbria Creda Washers & Dryers were our top sellers especially when the brand was owned by GDA. The Jackson by Creda J1000 1000 spin washer basically a Hotpoint WM52 First Edition but about £60 cheaper was a very big seller along with the Supaspeed,Simplicity,Advance,Excel range & the early COLOURS range of dark blue & olive green. Cookers also sold very well the Creda Capri,Menu,Concept,Hallmark & Expressions range. Yes they was a vast range of Creda appliances back then until Merloni took over then they started reducing the range just to basically concentrate on Indesit.

As far as I know, there was not a direct link between Creda and Parnall in the early 1960s, but it would not be a surprise that Creda "badged" Parnall dryers. I was just looking over some old Creda brochures earlier tonight and at the time of the Laundaire pair Creda seems to have been a brand of Simplex. Well spotted that these were Parnall machines. Later on they were branded as part of the TI (Tube Investments) group. Parnall were part of the Radiation group along with Jackson cookers. Late on in the 1960s the Radiation group was bought over by TI, the Parnall name was dropped and, as you correctly note above, their small drier was re-branded as Creda, which had a fit with the long running Debonair and Autopump spin driers. Jackson cookers continued until the mid 1970s (and there was even some overlap between models) when the Jackson name was dropped although some models continued under the Creda name - noteably the "Topline". Jackson re-appeared in the mid-1980 as (I think) TOL Creda built-ins, although against the onslaught of German ovens at that time, they did not last long. I got the Creda built in brochure that was being sold by the same person you got the washers brochure from, dated 11/77 they were still part of TI at that time. Al | ||

Yikes, that front-venting system was pretty primitive even by 1970s standards. I'm amazed they didn't duct it out someway! The washing machines look like Hoover machines of the same era in terms of their styling. | ||

When I saw that venting adapter along side the dryer without it, I thought we were being shown the difference between a partially and fully dialated cervix of some giant animal. | ||

Paul,
Shell re-spray. I gave the company a rocket today, last week I sent a polite email enquiring as to weather it had been completed, no reply, I sent another and again no reply, then I started to get a bit sweaty, OMG have they gone into receivership or even lost the panels. So I paid them a visit today, gladly still in operation, funny how you start to think the worst of a situation, any how the stripping company are the problem, and the panels should be back from them tomorrow, re-coated later that day, so should be ready to collect this Friday. Fingers crossed. Lee | ||

Too bloody right, I have been waiting for one for years, it’s not slipping out of my grip this time, fallen out with her-in-doors over it as well, found out how much it cost to buy in the first place and had to confess to how much the re-paint is costing, ho well not to worry, usual sentence of a you no what ban, in other words no early nights for a week or too or even three. I have got to smuggle in the next item as well, just got a Hoover constellation from ebay, will arrive some time next week, being delivered to my work so it can slip under the radar in the dead of night, must oil the runners on the garage door so it runs silently.

Laundrair washer & dryer...
Arhhh..I am now confused, I thought Parnall first launched this machine in 1960 as per the front cover of the September Which magazine (month maybe wrong) I though Creda approached Parnall to see if they could use their machine under a rebadge and some minor tweaks, to break into the major appliance market..? Parnall & Creda would have had the same machine in the market at the same time, Parnall's Mk1 "Spinwasher" ran from 1960-64 and as far as i can see from a Creda brochure they had the Laundrair pair available in they catalogue of 1963-64. Bizzare !! Keith | ||

Great machines?
My Mum had a Reversomat as shown in reply 73, bought at the end of 1977. As a dryer it was OK and it was still going strong in 1997 BUT that front venting was a complete pain in the butt. The conical cover was screwed on from the inside and so spoiled the whole look of the (rather attractive to me) machine, and the hose has to be clipped on and off everytime it was used otherwise there would have been a great coil of plastic vent hose all over the kitchen floor.

After all these years the Creda,Hotpoint & Indesit compact dryers still have the same design & the same front venting which is a pain never did like the idea of having to screw the cover on the door & vent from the front. Indesit company also took the wheels off it daft idea making them dificult to move around. Most people would push there compact dryers to the back door & stick the hose out. White Knight have the best compacts & they have wheels on & a vent hose at the back where it should be.

Creda - The Unsung Hero of UK Laundry....
Great thread about one of the Great British Iconic Laundry Brands...alas no more!! Creda introduced their Creda Debonair Spin Dryer in the late 50`s and the laundry brand was born, many a home had the cream and red model, and what a boom to housewifes having just a mangle, I was talking to my great Aunt Bess recently and recounted a story of my gran visiting here sister after aunty had her new baby son, my gran offered to do the washing & help but with only a Hotpoint Empress & mangle and no spinner and a very wet day outside it was better to decline the offer for that day as the washing would have been all over the house!!! A spinner was bought soon after...LOl

Models 10700 and 10800 were upgraded to become models 11700 and 11800, circa 1983/84, and apparrently gained the names 'debonair electronic' and 'debonair super elctronic'. No pictures of either of them unfortunately. | ||

Nor a picture of the 1984 model ????? concorde electronic exclusive for Comet. I think the above was probably the final model based upon the 10700. | ||

1981 Not forgetting though, the pinnacle of the black facia machines in the form of the Model 12000 Microelectronic De Luxe. Only ever saw one of these - a lovely looking machine

Hi Paul - great scans! Have never seen that MicroElectronic model before, looks very hi-tech - as you know I have a soft spot for all-pushbutton control panels! What does the dial on the right say? I can't quite make it out on my screen.
Cheers, take care,
Jon | ||

Creda Debonair - Popular Timer - this makes a lovely loud click tick when moving around!!
Dont you just love 1,2 5 & 7 - These relate to the HLCC (Home laundry Care Council) fabric wash codes, most washing machines in the UK from the 70's had these simple numbers to programme your wash - much simpler back then - but I do like the overrides of today!!
1 = Whites 95d 2 = Lights 60d 5 = Darks 40d 7 = Woollens 40d

My neighbors as I was growing up in the UK next door had a Creda Concord 1100 with the dark facia, two dials, three or four switches and a tiny on/off button, can't find a photo of any on the internet but it looked awesome. It was replaced later with a Creda Supaspeed 1200. Very cool. If anyone has any photos of the Concord models that would be a great memory jolt :-D

Hi Craig. Thanks for posting the link details. When I read the details of the link, it jogged my memory that I had the manual for the 11800 already. Just been and got a screen grab of the 11800 Debonair super elctronic...

Matt. Think your concorde model was 17003 - one of the early 17000series exclusives, sold through Comet only...

model 37407 was an 'Allander' branded dryer for House of Fraser. Somewhere along the lines there probably was a version (maybe 37408?) as a 'Crusader' for Rumbelows and maybe a 'Debonair' version for CIH Independents. No pictures though :-( | ||

(Model 37411 was a Crusader dryer for Rumbelows) When the core dryers were warmed over, alongwith the 10700 and 10800, the result was: 37404 became 37414 debonair reversair...

I’m not that familiar with these but the item you have highlighted is the earthing strap for the drum. According to the service gumpf for the larger sized dryers, the thermostat, cut out and thermal fuse are all part of the heater assembly and it looks similar to yours. If your replacement element came with those bits attached then a direct swap should sort it out. Otherwise I would check the thermal fuse and replace
Hope this helps

That is the right otter protector in your link. The item you highlighted in your first post is the drum earthing strap - if it was a thermostat it would have wires connected. I think you will need to take the element housing out to look at the protector and thermal fuse. I’ve attached a couple more pages from the servicing guide for the larger dryers. It shows the wiring diagram, part numbers and recommended checks which are likely to be the same for your dryer.
If there is no heat at all then it has to be the otter protector or the thermal fuse. If the thermostat fails then you still get half heat. A continuity test across these should allow you to determine which has failed. | ||
