Hey all!

I hope this is allowed: I posted here some time ago wondering about the operation of my SINGER LV2400 from 1983, which turned out to be a FAGOR F-815 re-brand. I made a new account as I couldn't remember any of the original credentials I used for the life of me. Also, I was away from the washer for a good while, so I couldn't ascertain anything about it or verify the information I was given. I'm no longer a complete noob on this, at least I hope so.

Anyway, about the washer, on a very uneventful day I actually sat down in front of it with a timer and thermometer in hand as the suggestions that were given to me re the cycles didn't quite seem to fit. I discovered a bunch of stuff which I can post if anybody thinks it'd be useful (I still can't "name" the cycles except for maybe programme 2 bring Sturdy Fabrics, as it gets unbelievably hot and tore apart a bathmat of mine, but at least I know what the machine is doing for each of them).

There's a cycle I'm yet to figure out though (together with the cold bleach cycle which I can't make sense of, but at least it runs its course) - Programme 12,the last one on the washer, stops at about 5 minutes in. I've even left it there for hours and it simply won't go on unless I manually rotate the dial. It heats up to what I imagine is probably about 45°C, pulls soap and softener from the drawer and just stops (the washer acts as if you'd switched it off) with the drum half-filled, if I recall correctly. Anyone have any idea what this is for?

Thanks in advance,

Evelyn

what's known as a rinse hold? Does program 13/14 drain and spin ?

Ozzie,

The washer has only 12 programmes, but as it draws softener together with soap, it's possible that it's an entire cycle on its own, yeah. I didn't know that existed. How are you supposed to use it?

Thanks!
