Hi guys,
Earlier this year I worked for service force the main agent for Electrolux service. Attached to the service centre we had a shop and we used to get a lot of scrap machines in. I got a working Zanussi TD201 vented dryer and a Zanussi Directa fj1200 washer which albeit slightly finicky electronics works perfectly. I’ve had them both about 6 months now but haven’t posted here much so thought I would share. As you’ll see in the pictures one of my dogs and the cat got involved. Darren | ||

Hey Rolls,
Yeah it’s an electro mechanical timer you can hear and feel the inner dial turning around despite the free moving dial. I believe the rinse sensor works on the pressure switch. Sudslocks etc trigger different water levels. It’s a cracking machine. The 1200 is good considering I’m used to 1400rpm plus these days. I read you’ve a gorenje made Panasonic now? Love the triple jet on those. Cheers Darren | ||

The triple jet has to be better than the 5 jet ring. They get blocked all the time and we’re probably my most common call out on the midea made machines other than the bearings failing at a spectacular rate!
The IZ I had was bloody brilliant. I had a later model which didn’t do any of the spin rinses etc and I acquired one which had knackered bearings so I swapped the parts over so it was far more entertaining. I saw some videos of the gorenje wave action jet and it was very strong! Darren | ||

Yeah they are. Front comes off. Tub splits. Parts are available. Despise the door seals so tacky and thin when you apply pressure to fit they fall off. I have a door seal tool which works on most springs but I didn’t have it when I worked for them.
The NA-16VX1 models are made by haier. Later ranges vestel made the lower end and midea made the high end and as you know the final European models were made by gorenje as part of a huge fan fair of a joint project which lasted all of one range! I had 8kg 1600rpm midea model it was really good. Loved the drum paddles 3D washing an jets but they forever blocked and made awful noises. You had to take the front of the tub off to access those. I tried many times to clean the nozzles to on avail. Darren | ||

Yeah those covers used to break off and expose the nuts which wrote the drum off! Ridiculous!
They didn’t use too much water and that tilt maybe why things weren’t soaked. They could’ve done with a jet. Yeah it’s a strange time for appliances with these new takeovers. I am interested to see what the future machines will look like. All I need now is Electrolux to sort themselves out because they are a showeee of sh1t atm! Darren | ||
