Hi guys.
I'm moving slowly farther forward to getting my keymatic working and I noticed the other night with the help of Mikeymatic we think it's filling too much on position 2. It fills until pressure switch 1 kicks in and starts to tumble then continues to fill until water over flows the door , can anyone who's machine works tell me how high water level ends up before heating? I think pressure switch 2 maybe faulty. Another thing down!! Thanks in advance Richard | ||

Keymatic Fill
The water level should be just into the door boot as it tips back with full load, you can adjust the pressure switch BUT (let Matt confirm ) which one for high level fill it is AND only micro turns are required, we overturned Johns and spent nearly a day fine tuning it, cos you have to keep draining and re-setting it to test the fill again, Once set dont touch ha ha...

have a look At mikes video on youtube, 3226 keymatic at about 48seconds in, this shows the full level, though you can't see the pulsator, you can see the tub has dropped back and that the pulsator would be submerged. | ||

The keymatic lives
I'm in the process of creating a mini laundry room in my mums wash house with hopefully 4 vintage machines. I'll do a separate thread on this !
I've plumbed in the keymatic and had chance to try it out properly and it's working a lot better than I thought It fills to level one and starts Fills to level 2 tumbles pauses and heats It heats and reaches temperature It starts the wash with pulsator if needed It doesn't advance through wash time It empties stops and clicks into spin It doesn't stop spinning though. So I've managed to do two loads with a little prompting from me by removing the key plate a few times it worked a treat. A small leak needs to be investigated I've done a video sorry it's badly shot and edited it was rushed a bit. Thanks Richard CLICK HERE TO GO TO Ricky5050's LINK | ||
