Hi All. Not a lot,the stainless drum is full of holes and the outer drum is usually Plastic. The Crouzet Timer needs a degree to work out the connections and the motor works in conjunction with an Electronic speed control board. So about the only things you can get out will be some metric bolts a couple of springs and possible a couple of pressure switches From the performance of our Zanussi (the appliance of science) which fell to bits internally because of corrosion after six years, your machine has done well to last this long.When I complained to Zanussi they stated that their machines were only designed to last eight years. They dont make them like they used to A trip to the skip coming up I think.
