Hi,
I have a Fisher and Paykel Smart Drive 701 washing machine available (free) for anyone who wants it, you just have to take the whole machine.
I believe these are/were sought after for the motor that can be converted for use in wind/water wheel power generation?
The machine still works ok, with the exception of the final spin cycle.
I think the control unit has begun to play up.
I'm located near Geelong, Vic.

In mine when I took the top off they had silicon rubber bands around the 4 corners to hold the tub ,2 of mine had karked it but they want $100 for replacements .


Also there is a little pipe down below that must be unclogged or the spinner refuses to switch on . Have to pull the basin out to get to it but it clears easily.
