Dont believe what it says on the powder drawer!
Discovered this little snippet from the Hotpoint Service Information Manual for models 9560, 9561, 9564 & 9564.
Under design changes on the inside front cover page:
May 86 D.C 05....Production started
September 1987 D.C 21....Production of model 9561 started. Only change being the graphics referring to the max spin speed change from 1300 to 1400 rpm.
Note earlier machines would in fact spin at 1400rpm.
Maybe that last sentence would go to explain why the digital display readout on the allegedly 1300rpm machine actually reads 1400rpm!
Maybe Hotpoint never did make a 1300rpm machine, but jumped straight to 1400rpm, whilst advertising it as 1300 for some reason.
A strange little mystery there then....

so that is it for the time being.
Hopefully we will be able to get a replacement motor for the machine and we will see about the drum situation.
Hopefully, the drum currently in the machine will be acceptable, so long as we are careful in how we use the machine.
Again thanks go to our mate in Cardiff - thanks for assisiting with spares and the hard graft. Always much appreciated. Thankyou!
cheers

The reason why there was never a 1300 machine was because the GEC motors were only ever produced at four different speeds, 800, 1000, 1200 and 1400. Notice it was always an even number!
Interestingly, the Hotpoint parts database recommends a 168499 drum as a replacement for the 9560, indentical to the one in my 9534, a 1000rpm machine. Of course, this isn't available anymore, but you have just put a 168499 drum in as a replacement. Perhaps it will work at 1400rpm?
I very much doubt that the last WM series machines (some of which were 1400) had extra strength added to their drums, the part number is identical for all 1991-2004 produced machines. On top of that, the drum spider is the most likely thing to break at speed and this is identical for all machines produced 1973 - 2004!
Such a shame the design had to end in 2004, by the way
I think it was 2004, that's when I last saw a new one on sale (a Creda).

Hi Tom.
I got a bit confused when I did that drum check on the Hotpoint site - it does seem to flag up a standard drum for many machines!
Dont know what to think now. mmmmmmmm!!!!!
Hi Bjorn.
Am tempted by that 9545 drum, although still waiting for confirmation on the details. Dont scrap that machine just yet, if you can avoid it.
Cheers

The old drum was reCYCLED.....
Now is handy as a durable washing basket ... at least it does hold a full load LOL!
Dont worry im not cracking up and using liquids only, the decent powder is kept under the sink in the Persil tins....

Hey Rob
Just realized that you've got an indesit, ive always wanted to ask how do you get on with it? washing and rinsing, spinning etc and noise?
Thanks for the pic, im asking as i may get one when im without a machine, i dont want servis (hated it)(plus bankrupcy) or haier but theyre not sure what to get? Whats better in your opinion Beko or indesit?

What is the scoop on these new indesit's models. I am thinking of purchasing the splendide combo 7100 that looks just like it. But if you tell me the repair record isn't good, I may think twice.
Thanks

How long is your bargepole Pete?
Indesit,
All I can say is that Electrolux machines i.e Zanussi, Bendix, Tricity Bendix have far better machines to offer in terms of performance and build quality for the same price.
Washing is not too hot, rinsing seems fine which puts the much claimed `it takes high water levels to rinse properly' opionions to mean nothing.
I find it wastes far too much water for the rinses, lower levels would be perfection and save prescious minutes off the already ridiculous wash times.
Hotpoint managed a superior wash in around 1 to 2 hours in the 80s and wasted way less water doing so.
I would hold on for something else to be honest, the build quality is rather shocking and the electronics are far from desirable.
The soap drawer front has a rather nasty habit of snapping off the drawer itself when pulled out for cleaning which has to be done weekly due to the mess thats usually left in there from softener build up and mould issues,
Have you considered getting a Zanussi washerdryer shipped over? Dunno how cost effective it would be but you would certainly be amazed at how much better they are compared to the likes of LG and Splendide.
Would it be a possibilty of finding someone shipping stuff over who would say rent out a portion of the container to put a decent machine on for you?
Rob
Our vintage Zanussi washerdryer, 20 years old and still works like new...
Build quality has not really changed a great deal either.

Another vote for Zanussi
Those FL1012 and WD1012 machines just seem to keep going forever. I know several people who have them and say they have never gone wrong with over 20 years of daily use.

Hi Rob,
I couldn't really purchase anything else that is not setup for our voltage. I am so disappointed in the fact that over here in usa they make all junk with steam and other BS options. But nobody will make a combo. It seems anything that can be purchased here in terms of combos is ng. Well I will have to do more research and if I cannot come up with something I will probably buy a frigmore and live without a dryer.
Thanks,
Peter
