timer Yes, it's pretty gross. The first thing that I need to do is sort out the drum only distributing in one direction. I think the timer is at fault. The timer I have is a 904/2199/03 and there is a new part on e-bay that is a 904/2199/05. Will the eBay part fit my machine, what are the differences? Does anyone have any wiring diagrams, please?

Hi Rob
Well done on getting this machine. That is a bit manky but I'm sure it will clean up. I think I have the service manual for this machine so will check and scan if I have. If its like the one for my 9544 then there is a page full of potential motor faults in the manual not that it has helped me sort out mine as of yet! S | ||

cheers steve A big yes please Steve - I plan to have a little play with the machine later, to see if it will spring into life but I seriously think it's a timer issue... R | ||

Follow up Second-hand timer installed and now the machine isn't doing wierd stuff like not filling on its lower level. But now no motor action. Ran a test and it seems the bodule is toast. Ordered a used one from eBay so see if that sorts it...

Success(ish) With a second-hand timer and module installed, the machine now tumbles correctly and spins. I have noticed that the distribute pulses a bit - is that normal? R | ||

distribute 
The tacho will need adjusting, so with wet cloths in the load just sticks to the drum to distribute that should cure the pulses, the outer ring of the tacho on the back of the motor will turn you will have to try rotating it in different directions, one way will slow it down the other speed it up, you need to get it right or the motor will over heat and cut out if its not right.....

Thanks Mr hotpoint95622; it seems to distribute ok, then just has a sudden burst of speed, then slows, the a burst, then slows - it's like it is about to have a fit!! IS that normal? | ||

Hi Rob
Is it doing the same thing as my 9544 in the attached link? Be good to see a video of what its doing to compare. The issue with mine seems to be as described in the bit of the service manual although I've not yet had time to look at it in detail S CLICK HERE TO GO TO Sesteve's LINK | ||

Hi Steve. No it's not doing quite the same, yours appear to be trying to spin prematurely. Mine is just speeding up momentarily on distribution, not a huge amount but it seems to stutter. Maybe there's some carbon on the tacho? | ||

Hmmmm. Yeah mine has something to do with the heater circuit and induced loads as the manual states - you can hear the relay on the timer click and then it drops back in speed
You could give the tacho a good clean but you also need to check the speed of the motor and adjust the tacho ring as Lee described - the service manuals all say this must be done if you change the module and there was a speed disc available which if I remember you put on for the distribute after a pre wash to check the speed. Hopefully that will sort it out. S | ||

Re Bearings pressed in easily, the drum was reluctant to go in, so I have it a tap with the palm of my hand and dented the back of the drum. Whoops!! R

Update As a little update, a secondhand pulley was bolted on and the machine reassembled. It seems to work OK. I'll take some further pics of the final result. Meanwhile I put some extra insulation on the timer wiring...

Almost there The machine is reassembled and back together. I quick go-over with an automotive paint cutting compound (G3) brought up the outer case like new.

kick strip Most parts used were new; The kick strip was faded and wouldn't clean up but a new one is a self-adhesive strip and a few minutes using a fan heater softened the old, brittle original item enough so it peeled off. The fascia (pictured) just needed a clean and a small hairline crack gluing on the very top edge.
