Reply Excellent... As soon as i get my workshop sorted out, i will upload more videos onto youtube. I hope to get a machine that has a shot timer on it (Hotpoint WM63) and fit my own circuits onto it. I created a thread called "Henry's Project" and cant do much more now until I find the command...

Hotpoint WM12 A shop near me throws alot of these machines out, Even machines that only need a new door latch! Goes to show how much money people are wasting rather than be like us - To restore them to their glory, and use them again. Even the drum bearings, especially on the hotpoints - they...

Update Supremewhirlpol I am using a hotpoint speed module from the early 80s and a digital tacho will not work with the early 80s speed modules. Hopefully i will be recreating the earlier hotpoint sound from those machines with the big boom on spin. I have made a diagram on a 12 volt Regulator...

Broken Bosch If you can hear a rumble when turning the drum, than it will certantly be the bearings. Also, if the drum spins very loosely and does not slow down quickly, than the drivebelt will have snapped.

Rattling in the Drum Do you hear rattling if spinning the drum by hand? - If so, it might be a penny or something between tub and drum. If you only hear it on the high spin speeds, then it might be a worn out spider or bearings. What is the spin speed on that machine?

Update Ok Today i had to perform some last minute surgery on the zanussi, which had a problem with the timer. So off with the top, and found that i put the wrong bolt on the timer to hold it in place. I have now replaced the bolt and will do a wash in it soon to see if it still works properly.

Hotpoint WM12 Excellent.

Water Level on my Zanussi... The high water level for the main wash and rinses. I Believe that the pressure switch in my zanussi is set to F2.

Hotpoint WM12 Dont worry about the spider, you can get them cheap online, ebay may have them for a low cost. It is usually highly recommended that you replace the bearings at the same time too.

Help Needed! Does anyone know where i can get an analogue tacho motor by any chance? Any suggestions will be greatly Appreciated. Thankyou.

Hotpoint WM12!!!!! OMG OMG OMG I cant Speak!!! You must get this machine up and running again! These machines were made in the early 1990s, and the model before this had the distribution-drains etc... Chain it up, lock it away, and for goodness sake dont let it get anywhere near the back of a...

Update I have found a blank breadboard prototype board and have started working on the voltage regulator as a safety device for the mains and the live electricity flowing through the machine, at the moment i am using a variable voltage regulator. More to come when i have found a suitable scrap...
