SNOB Does It All Myself and few other members with old machines Use Snob (Tescos bio-colour-non bio) I have used it for about 3 years now without any problems with fading or damaging the fabrics. It rinses out very easily and has a very low odour, nothing like Persil or Ariel which to me had...

Back plate seal my tuppence worth I use a stiff wire brush to clean off any deposits, the spark plug brush is so stiff and good at removing deposits, I have never used a wire brush on a drill, the only reason I use silicon bathroom sealant is to help the rubber seal stay in place whilst you...

Workshops Hello Mike I am far too short tempered to do anything like that :-) The link that chestermike put in covers us doing the electron 1100 and has just about everything in it you would need to know, the logics and the prvious ranges of machines going back to the 1970s are virtually...

Great This has been a great thread about a great machine, I still think these are the best machines Hotpoint ever produced. I too had a few problems with leaks on mine but not to the extent you had with faulty seals, fortunately mine worked but I had a leak after everything else occur on one...

Head Rules I think you should buy the best you can afford for your family, buying products on price/features is a bad way to buy I think. Remember if you are paying for glitter box features on the outside what has been cut back on inside to give you those. Good luck Gary
