Perhaps the water you fill with is hotter than the temperature you are selecting? If it is, the fly-back thermostat will reset to wash. Try a higher temperature setting or fill with cooler water! If the machine has a boil-dry safety thermostat (which I suspect it will have), check that it...

The Liberator 1509 lives! Hey Mark (and Mike) Fantastic news - am really pleased there will be one in action again! I'm just looking forward to moving next weekend and getting the 9605 out of storage and back into action! D

15** Hiya Mike So there is another 15something out there being rebuilt - hurrah - oh I hope its the holy-grail 1509/10 - would be so good to see one of those alive and well again - the REAL Hotpoint Liberator!! Thanks for the pilot-light pic of the 1501 - isn't that the most cool 1960s image...

Amazing pics Hi guys What an amazing set of pics - looks like you all had a fantastic time! I'm soooo gutted that I couldn't make it up this time - I can't wait to hear all about it from Rich and Mathew. If I'd known a 1501 was starring I'd have really tried every excuse with the other...

The original (and ultimate!) Hotpoint Automatic Hi guys, Just in case anyone forgets, Hotpoint's first automatic was the fantastic top-loader - here's mine, a 9605 - one of last ever made. D PS - Zach, on the 'New Generation LE' series (and a short run of the previous range) the model...

Hi all One for the Servis fans out there (ChesterMike this one is dedicated to you in particular). Tantalisingly without photo, but the description sounds like it might be worth a punt. Best of luck to whoever goes for it! David PS - if anyone comes across a 'hardly-used' 1502 or 1509...

Hi all Has anyone here replaced carbon brushes on a Bosch Classix 1400 WAE28162. Our machine has died after a pathetic 2 1/2 years and given the arcing sound that preceded today's failure, I suspect the bushes. Not impressed with this machine at all... Advice much appreciated! Thanks D

I found a good courier Hi Bjorn I found I good one when I got the Hotpoint 9605 delivered - I'll see if I can find the receipt and contact details. Nothing special but they picked up and delivered as asked. David

Hi all Thanks for all the messages... The supertwin is fantastic - it took a little bit of work under-the-hood to get it going, but we got there in end and the machine really is pristine. Mike - there was much discussion about the possibility of 'temporarily' removing the inner lid on the...

Hi all Yeah it was great fun! We'll try a video sometime maybe - might be pushing the technology, but worth a go...

Hi all Rich, Mathew and myself met up on Saturday at Rich's to have a chat and a look at the machines - I brought some laundry so it sort of turned into a mini wash-in!! Totally accidental and not really planned, so please don't feel left-out - do get in touch if you're down this way (or indeed...

Thanks Gansky - I think everyone over here who has one would agree that they are great washers - you should come over sometime to try for yourself! David

Hi Keith Do you have any idea what the difference between the 1500 and 1501 was? Thanks David

Hi peeps- thanks for the messages! Jed - thanks - yeah they are great machines! Kevin - they are 10LB rather than KG machines. Mike - no sign of oil leaks on the earlier 9605 thankfully. That said every one of our Hotpoints at home (1502, 15690 and 9604 over the years) leaked oil in the wash...

Thanks Kevin The Hotpoint Top Loader has a 10lb capacity, with 1050rpm spin and single-speed agitation - a relatively large load and high spin speed for at least the first 20 years of this model-line's run. The design originated in 1963 at which point automatics were virtually unknown in the...

ha ha... Nearly as nice, but obviously neither are as nice as the 15690 on the other side of the room! We'll sort some decent pics of these machines, and Rich's others very soon!

and more... Two Hotpoint 9605 - on the right is Richard's machine, on the left my new baby - we think it is probably one of the very last top-loaders made by Hotpoint - last run blue-style graphics etc....

closer... Maiden first rinse for the machine on the left

Two... excuse the blur...wobbly mobile (cell) phone - better ones to come... D :-)

Wow - fab 1501 Hi Keith Thanks for posting the pic of the 1501 - it is such a classy machine, IMHO the best I've seen on here. I love the console - the diakon plastic and aluminum looks so good, specially with the light, and its great to see the heater light on the temperature knob. Thanks...
