    Intressant maskin. Hur är avloppet kopplat? På min nyare WE60 från 1970 ca så är där störtavlopp som släpper vattnet i sån enorm fart så man måste ha ett avloppskar så brunnen hinner svälja undan vattnet

    • @bjorns3449
      @bjorns3449 2 місяці тому

      Avloppsvattnet rinner ut i en vanlig badrumsbrunn (av äldre typ eftersom det är ett gammalt hus), tror inte att det är något speciellt med det.

    I had a small Brandt washing machine from the 60s that was fully manual but it heated up with the gas. we filled it manually and turned on the gas at the bottom of the machine and there was a thermometer which put the temperature on the washing machine door. ah the dream... it was a 4 kgs

      There is a heater which is controlled from a wall mounted switch. I don't really remember using it myself or seeing my grandmother use it.

  • @IdrisRifat

    Hi. How does a washer like this work? The spin seems to be very fast, considering it’s age. I believe it has a 500 or 600rpm spin speed. Incredible.

    • @bjorns3449
      @bjorns3449 3 місяці тому

      Nameplate says speed is selectable between 330 and 2900 rpm. Judging by the sound I'm guessinng spin is 330 rpm for this machine. For wash it has a timer circuit which swaps two of the phases to the motor to change direction of rotation.

    🙂 ~ liked seeing you video it, as that was an early incarnation of a front loading washer ~ came out at the same time as the twin-tub washer+spin dryer? (Even more rudimentary as it was fixed in place, gravity drain, no heater & no timer). The only thing you did wrong was not waiting for the water to completely empty out of the outer drum and setting it to spin and getting a temporary sudslock condition; characterised by the suds flowing over the inside of the door’s window and the swishing sound, if I was doing it; would stop the agitation & listen to the washer emptying and when it stopped I might even open the door and push-squeeze the laundry to get more water out of it and then close the door and set to agitate > spin, when I had observed with the floor drain that the washing machine had almost spun the water out of the laundry, then I would turn the tap to pour some water into the outer drum to “sump-flush” the suds out of the bottom of the outer drum [would possibly hear the sudslock “swishing”] and know to turn the tap off. Do that 2/3x and set the machine to “agitation” and close the drain valve and turn the cold tap to fill for the rinse. Would do the sump-flush for all of the rinses. ☹️ It is unfortunate that this is your only video, and that you said in another comment that you moved out of the house that vintage washer was in; that you don’t know it’s fate

  • @MonoChorMe
    @MonoChorMe 3 місяці тому

    Wow -- this was an interesting watch indeed. I've never seen a "semi-auto" machine like this; even to the detail of the draining being gravity fed. However, how did you manage to obtain 3-phased power in your apartment/house? Usually, 3-phased power is supplied at industrial places... Anyway, I enjoyed watching!

      Unfortunately, that is not possible. The house in which the machine was sitting was sold in 2020 and I have no relation to the new owners. I don't even know if the machine still exists. I tried to capture all "interesting" aspects of the machine in this one video. Is there something more you would have liked to see?
