God i wish i had a washer like that!
I agree! I have discovered that machine! Turning on the functions! And switching on and off the taps, but that is old models for you! Be patient!👋👋👍👍
🙂 ~ 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
Wonderful washing machine
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
These used to be installed at laundromats back in the day, washing clothes did took some work back then.
This is when front loaders had just enough water in them!
That spin!!😊
wonderful results
Wow, how cool is that 🙂
Your parents had a 3 phase supply to their home as standard? Beautiful machine, I bet that has a stainless steel wetted drum spider !
Three-phase supply is standard in all residential buildings in Sweden.
@@bjorns3449what washing machine do you have can you do a review of it
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.
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.
When this thing gets going, why does it open a time portal? @13:34
I shined a flashlight into it.
Thats one unique washer. Awesome video! Are you able to make more videos of the machine?
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?
@@bjorns3449 I would have wanted to see other things like the spin-brake, and many others. It will be upsetting if the machine is no longer at that home. I also noticed an old whirlpool washer in the video and whirlpool machines are one of my favourites.
@@bjorns3449hi could you possibly do a video of your washing machine
i love how its semi automatic, does it heat by itself ? or does it only have the temperature the water inlet is ?
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.
Where was the spin brake?
Thé motor inverse...
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
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.
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!
Three-phase supply is standard in all residential buildings in Sweden.
Pls more videos
devia ser assim no Brasil......🤔🤔.......
Can you do a other video about that maschine
I probably won't post any more videos with this machine, because I have very little other material. But we'll see. I have a video somewhere of my grandmother (rest in peace) using it. I'll think about if I want to post that.
Diesnt this wasger wash all by itself
