Aah - the Creda Eco Wash CWA 242. I purchased this machine in mid 1995, just as the British company began to export them to America. Nothing but problems. First, the tub vibrated off the mounting, requiring a complete replacment of the whole washer. Four years later, the motor control unit burned out, and the machine wouldn't spin. Then the pump jammed. And then the main bearing froze. Around 2000, Creda shut down its American operation (which was out of Phoenix, Arizona), and I could no longer get parts here. I ordered a set of brushes for the motor from them in Britain, and then decided that the washer was a losing proposition.
Creda longer has any presence in the USA, so all parts must be purchased in Britain. They are willing to ship parts here. Do an internet search for Ace Domestic Appliance Spare Parts in the UK.
Best of luck ... I'm staying away from Creda in the future.
