There was a similar set up for sale on ebay a few years ago. Gives you an idea as to what a matching set looks like, though your machine is a higher model than the one below. Anyone any idea as to which models these are? Paul

What a gorgeous matching set. According to my Brochure and Manual, that's a 9600 Model Washing Machine with a 7000 Dryer (the dryer that my Washing Machine was bought with) | ||

They are fabulous machines! That is the first machine I bought new that I bought for my mother in 1988...t'was her mothers day present. I paid $1299 for it which was almost a months pay.
They are beautifully built with logical and simple programmes.
You don't mention if the manual came with them, so here are a few things you might not know:
- 'E' enables lower washing temperatures by lengthening the main wash - assuming you have both hot and cold connection, if you engage the '1/2' button on cycle 3, you get a 50 minute cycle (if using 40c) that will cope with a full load - the rinses are 1/2 way up the door. - ALL rinses are traditionally deep...especially compared to today. - engage the 'middle top' button should you wish to add more water to any wash component of a cycle - disengage when the water is where you want it and agitation will continue as per normal...leave it engaged and you'll get a very long wool cycle! - there is no dedicated synthetic cycle. Use '4' with '1/2' load and your choice of temperature....40c should give about a 35-40minute time....personally, neither my mother or I could be bothered....and fussy as we are, everything was washed on '3' '1/2' - DON'T LEAVE THE OUTER DOOR OPEN...it won't spin...AND DON'T TRY AND WATCH IT SPIN....it activates a brake! - the button under the fascia near the temperature control when engaged, prevents the temperature from being turned up...it will only go down...stops little fingers boiling lace curtains! - if for some reason, the solenoid fails on the door, don't panic...insert a metal nail file (with the power off) into the slot next to the door catch and you can pop it open. - interestingly, your fascia is cracked in exactly the same place as mums did...this happened very early on, so my guess yours happened about 20 years ago too... - also of note, is your detergent drawer has 'popped' a little...just like hers did.
- the electromechanical timers in these do age...they become slower to engage the programme. If it is a relatively smooth and progressive 'click, click, click', you know it's fine...if the pauses are long and it takes more than 30-40 seconds to start programme '3' for example, you know it is worn...
Oh, and they sound absolutely fantastic when they have drained and are about to head into a spin....very 'lost in space'...mind, the spin, when it ramps up to 1200rpm reminds me of a jet....ahhhh...happy days! | ||

Congratulations on your first vintage machine, it will give you years of sturdy service, and so well built..does the spin ramp up continuously for about 8mins??
My later set has the shallow rinses (up to 7) and have always found it exceptional in washing & rinsing performance, Can you tell us where it was purchased from please?? ironic that only a few independant stores sold them, i worked at one of them in Cheadle for a while. Heres my set

Unlikely...it was delivered in May 1988...so given that it had to be shipped to Australia, clear customs and then get to storage and out to a retailer, I'd guess ours was built early 1988 or late 1987...they're about identical in age. It is possible that there was a safety interlock switch for the outer door on Australian machines, but knowing the Swedes, I'm fairly certain they would have delivered the same machine to Australia as well as the UK unless our regulations differed...I do know that you could only open the outer door about 2 inches before it started to brake.
mmm...starchy? Given the depth of those rinses, I'd suggest that was a detergent thing more than the machine.,...still, they are a work horse...and will give a Miele of the same vintage a run for its money... | ||
