pewter (I think thats what the colour was called) It was Mercury, my Mum had the TL61 dryer in mercury until a couple of years ago. Was a lovely colour, much more stylish than the linen (*coughs* dirty knicker beige *coughs*) or the tacky cheap looking graphite, silver and blacks that came...

Not Coronation Street But last I checked (don't watch it anymore) that microprofile is still knocking around on Hollyoaks, been there since it started I think!

hopefully The pictures aren't an idea of the machines they'll be producing. If they are the they're going to be Indesits *yawn*

Thanks! Paul, I thought about hiring a man with a van sort of service, but for the distance involved it would just be too expensive (if they would even do it in the first place)! Hi Richard, I moved up yesterday. I'm in Brandon, just outside Durham City. Would be lovely to maybe meet up one...

Excellent! These are fantastic machines for the price, certainly the best mid range brand! We have owned a WMB 61631 W for a couple of months now and it really blows most other brands out of the water in terms of build quality and performance, not to mention value for money! I like that they...

Hi all, I need to move my Logic 1300 from Plymouth up to Durham. Does anyone have any experience using couriers for transporting large appliances? Any recommendations on a particular company? How much would I roughly be looking at paying? Any help much appreciated! Matt

Large capacity washers Personally I don't see any need for them. When I lived with my parents there were 4 of us, my Dad and brother both played football and rugby most days of the week, as well as going to the gym and going running on evenings and weekends. This meant a lot of sports kit...

Oh wow Gary! Thanks for looking for that, that would be ideal! I really like the blue pointers actually, would probably match the grey fascia better than orange! Is the email in your profile best to drop you a line on? Thanks, Matt

Hotpoint WM spin balance My Mum had a WM52 which did the same as yours; on rinse spins if it didn't balance first time it would abort the spin and go into the next rinse without spinning, on the final spin it would attempt a few times before giving up. A rather annoying system which (although...

Thanks! The belt has what I can only describe as orange pointers sticking off of it which are visible through the timer window! This makes the belt quite specific, so it would no doubt have to be the same belt unfortunately. Thanks for that Gary! Would really appreciate it if you could have a...

Hi guys, Well it's nearly 4 in the morning, but for whatever reason I'm wide awake, so I thought I'd make use of the time to seek advice on an ongoing problem I'm having with this machine. You may remember from my previous thread that the progress indicator on the timeline control was out of...

Thermal Overload I was thinking it could possibly have to do with that. All the older Hotpoint machines we have had have all had issues with the TOC, although not to this extreme. On ours the machines stop dead on a 95 (and sometimes 60c) on the first spin because of the motor overheating. The...

As much as it would be a shame to see the name go It's already a shame to see what has become of it! Just like most once good brands it's a shadow of it's former self! As for there not being many dishwashers to choose from, that's certainly not a bad thing...Zanussi dishwashers IMO have been...

Are you sure it wasn't A chlorine bleach dispenser? Years ago, in particular in southern European Countries, chlorine bleach was used in the wash. This was dispensed into the first rinse and the dispenser was typically located behind or beside the fabric softener compartment. Fabric softener...

Line drying I really don't see whats so hard about it. If it's a nice day, hang it out, if there's a rain shower, just leave it! It will dry again when it's passed. If it isn't dry by the end of the day and it's not meant to rain overnight, just leave it out! It really won't hurt it. At the...

Quick Wash and Drum We need to bear in mind that the "Quick Wash" (which first appeared on the 9534 range) was not a programme so to speak. It is merely no.6 with economy wash selected, if the incoming water already fills at 40c (as ours does when we have it plumbed in) the machine won't heat...

And the lid trims... Above I also meant to say that it's amazing how they could make the machines so flimsy to the touch, but evidently maintain higher standards internally where it counts...

Nice Although ours is in storage at the moment, you do have to admire the simplicity and functionality of the programming and controls, and also how they could build something so flimsy from the outside (as you have discovered with how easily the plastics break and I'm sure will have noticed...

As much as I would be there in a heartbeat The house the machine is located in is in Darlington ( we are pondering on a move back up north) so we would not be able to visit the property. The advert does state that the kitchen includes "plumbing for a washing machine" not the machine itself...

Don't tempt me! That dryer's a beaut! Although I can't really fault our mid 2000's Indesit made Hotpoint dryer, it's pretty lacklusture and I have been longing for a vintage (preferably Hoover) dryer for some time now! Have managed to get the indicator belt for the timer back in it's place...
