Servis MK303 Compact |

My Classic Servis Compact Auto Washer has suddenly developed a leak at the front of the machine. I thought it was just the door seal but it's leaking from the bottom of the front of the outer tub. Mike i think it was you that told me that you can remove the complete outer shell of this Machine to gain better access. Any help would be most appreciated.

MK303S
Tonight i decided to remove the outer casing to find out exactly where the machine was leaking from. This was a far from easy task but still very enjoyable.

Still in great condition apart from the odd bit of rust on the heater bracket & the sump outlet.

Rust
Yes Gary
Whilst i am sorting out the seal how could i possibly not sort out the rust problems at the same time, for a machine manufactured in 1979 it's in great shape. Now here's my Putting back together project for tomorrow night. Craig-

I suggest you do the tub seal with the tub on its back and leave it like that for a few hours for the silicone to set. This will mean gravity is helping you rather than working against you. | ||

Servis Service
Well done Craig on your restoration, always liked the Servis machines for the fact you could remove the cabinet (albeit more fiddly on the compact range than the later slimlines) and access the drum as a freestanding unit.
All looks great for a 30+ year washing machine, Did you get that recent matching dryer? | ||

But here is what you require, in the form of a second generation Model 203. Will keep my eyes peeled for you. Paul p.s more photos of the 303S - never can be enough of them! :-)

Love photo 5 of 5 Even of I wasn't remotely interested in domestic appliances, on walking onto your kitchen, I'd certainly pass comment on the unusual and cute washing machine of yours. Great little machines. Paul | ||

Hi Craig I'm pleased to hear that you got your machine up, and running again without too ,much hassle. It is very annoying though to find when we come across some sort issue. Very nice pictures of it must say looks like it has just came out of the factory Mikey | ||
