Hi Bran Welcome to the club, there will be no sleep for you tonight as you will probably be looking at all the pics n vids n mails etc...LOL The Philips machine was the 082/098 series, used permanent magnet motors and where one of the first with a polycarbonate drum, all with a 10yr guarantee, probably one of their finest ranges...

I also have a Philips AWB 094 (or is it 904?) which looks very very similar to Mike's photo, but it uses an induction motor and has a very slow spin - maybe 400 rpm? Chris. |

my granddad still has the matching philips tumble dryer to this machine. In almond and brown. Big silver door on it. The inside drum is like a white knight as is the filter. So im guessing its crosslee made. Silver and black dial just like that washer but the heat dial was stainless steel small dial with a full sun and a half sun. Sounds just like a white knight too. It must be nearly 30 years old and its still in occasiocl use.

jon what an interesting fact. That explains more as i did wonder where the cross over was. So in actual fact is it true to say that old phillips dryers are the uks no1 reliable dryer and not white knight as they are probably using phillips statistics- does that make sense. Im not keen on white knights as they take longer to dry imo and i like to have a matching washer and dryer anyway.

im going to be weird now. Does everybody find that if you smell the drum of different makes of well used tumble dryers they all have an individual smell. Mums hoover 6kg ultracare always smells musty for some reason. My zanussi condensor always smelled plasticy. My granddads tends to keep the smell of the softener and my maternal grandparents had matching servis multivent dryer for the 83 quartz and that was always musty inside. They still have the multivent by the way. Love that hose with plastic mouldings on each end to keep it tidy and the metal adaptor to attach it to the front vent. Also the end of the hose to connect it to try dryer had a 90 degree moulded piece which stays on better than most straight hose mouldings.
