I don't intend to! They're happy with it but for this. Since merloni plays/played a part in their production, could it have the same issue? I'd tell them to use slow spin perhaps. |

Thanks for the reply dex. After seeing that pic of that servis and the drum my friend has got is studded with those paddles. I'll tell him to reduce the spin speed to 800 |

I fail to see why your worrying about a Servis Drum. They are more likely to win the lottery than have a drum failure. I'm not aware of any issue with Servis drums. They seem quite well made and sturdy. I have one of the last line of Servis machines and it runs quite nicely at 1400rpm. There is no connection with Indesit Merloni as already mentioned. Reducing the spin speed quite frankly is rather silly

Talking of lowering spin speeds, I remember our Indesit 2103 from the 80's was an 1100rpm machine but the motor failed after just 3 years and the engineer said he was surprised it had lasted so long. we used it at 900 rpm after that and it lasted a further 11 years failing with another fault in the end. Certainly using a machine at a lower speed makes it last longer. I guess it just depends on what you bought it for in the first place or weather you use a dryer alot as to weather its worth selecting a lower speed. It's an interesting discussion. I also remember back in about 1980 seing a neighbours new washing machine with the drum exploded.I can't remember what brand it was but it wasn't a Servis. I think drum failures have always been going on its just now we get more access to pics/stories online which we never had back then and obviously with clusters of recent HooverCandy failures its become more noticable.
