might be abit jerky - is on my computer - as camera batteries were low.
Here is the final 520rpm loaded spin in the Liiberator.
Bearing (no pun intended!) in mind there is no distribution with this machine, it balances the load really well.

  • Sounds very smooth, good job on the restoration.

  • cheers. the other vid really does show what bearings should sound like - when compared with this one.

  • Hey mate how many rinses does this machine have? And also how come it desn't have these infamous distributions that all the other hotpoints have?

  • I am afraid I cant remember the rinse thing, although i do remember that the cool down is lovely and high - jut over half way up the door!

    The reason for the lack of Hotpoint distribution is because it aint a Hotpoint! Its actually a Zanussi S-series machine, that was commissioned by Hotpoint and sold to fill a gap in their machine lineup.

  • Does this machine actually distribute at all on any of the programs?

  • blimey - what a twit i am. Just dawned on me what you were getting at! No - no distribute whatsoever at all on this one. Its fitted with an induction motor and old induction motors only had two speed settings - basically wash and spin - one speed or the other. The machine just tumbles at wash speed and then will jump straight into spin, with no distribute.

see all

  • Ok :). Can I also ask you why a lot of old washers will have the wash and rinse cycle but at the end you have to set it to a seperate spin cycle?

  • There was a purple liberator dryer, but it was to the GEC Hotpoint design and not a zanussi clone, like the 1826.

  • Was there a dryer the same style?

  • November 1976!

    the machine has since been repaired - I will upload some more vids of it soon.

    It is a great machine - so 70s with the purple styling.
