Hi GUYS n GIRLS...
im new to this washing machine forum, need some advises from u friends since i need to look for new machine now..
well currently we using ELECTROLUX FRONTLOADER.. my dad bought it on 13/10/2001, not sure with what price..
After 11 years used, just today the machine's drum not spinning. I have no idea what could be the issue...already contacted technician, coming tomorrow to check it out...
first time dealing with washing machines, so when i looked on this brand my first impression was bad, i asked my mom why never go for samsung/panasonic/thosiba maybe could have last longer...when i started to explore then i got to know ELECTROLUX one of the top.. good reviews from users.. so now i feel the machine i have now not under rated 1... the 11 years life span is the solid proof...
in case that drum cant be repaired, i would happily go after ELECTROLUX FRONTLOADER again, 2001 machine manual, now 2012 should be more advance...Need to check the prices now..
Any other brands you guys suggesting ?

QUOTE(kons @ Jul 13 2012, 03:43 PM) Just bought electrolux front loading 8kg one month back, it does shake real hard when spinning, but as long as it is not moving across the ground, i guess it should be fine. what model, price and where u bought it ? mine 2001 machine, already used 11 years now the drum not spinning.. i might go for ELECTROLUX again.. ya the spinning noise loud and the vibration quite noise.. i thought mine 11 years old machine so its like that... even current also same is it ? |

I just checked my 11 years old ELECTROLUX frontloader, EW548F 5KG...
my dad bought it for RM1500, and its imported made in ITALY... no wonder can last that long...another neighbour using same brand different model, almost 20 years still in good condition she told...maybe my mom overloaded the machine instead of 5kg load...And checked at SENG HENG, for electrolux where current products made in Thailand... im not sure how long it gonna last, ya for cut cost purpose everything made at CHINA THAILAND INDONESIA VIETNAM... but why the price still high.. just because their past background has good remarks where things were made abroad... How about getting PANASONIC, 10KG member price 2500 i heard, is it worth buying ?

QUOTE(dayalan86 @ Jul 25 2012, 09:51 PM) If going for front loading, suggest you look for Induction or Inverter Motor, the standard motors used on this machines are Universal Motor which is very noisy during spin. I am currently using Panasonic, after replacing our previous Front Loading machine which also lasted for about 11 years. If drum not spinning, but you can hear the motor working then it could be the belt snapped off. Can be DIY if you want. if the belt has snapped then you need to get it from Electrolux, chances are they may have stock. ya drum not spinning.. i never check about the motor not sure working or not.. as u said the belt snapped off and taken from the bottom of machine.. also a ball bearing dropped from inside.. need to call technician to check out, im not sure how much it will cost can get from Electrolux ? mine is old machine.. DIY means ? |
