Yes, it's been over a year since I've returned home from Florence, yet I continue to receive postings about the Candy Aquamatic 3 washing machine that I had in my apartment in Florence. Some of you may recall the problems I had trying to figure out how to use this washer, and it turns out that I'm not alone. And the funny thing is that this one posting I made about my trials with the Candy Aquamatic has somehow made me the world's foremost expert in how she works! Here are a few messages I've received recently. Yes, she's a stubborn old girl!

Etienne has left a new comment on your post "Laundry Day!": Wow, I am renting an apartment in Paris with this very same Candy 3! Cycles 4 and 5 work fine, but can't figure out what the rest of it means (or how to do delicates). This has been the only helpful post I've found so far on the mysterious and enigmatic Candy 3, thanks so much!

Brooke has left a new comment on your post "Laundry Day!": Grrr!!! I'm in the french alps with the same washing machine!! I'm getting so aggravated I think I might go wash my clothes in a puddle outside!! :)Okay, I figured out the soap, the dial, the key, how to start it ....my question is though, what # should I start it on?? After washing for a long time, it stopped moving and so I thought it was done, however ...I opened the door and water spewed out so I shut it again very quickly. I can't seem to find a spin cycle?! Any suggestions?! This is crazy!!
