Jimmy, the timer dial on this Hotpoint looks very Philcoish don't you think? Mark

 

[filterflo]

Yes! Mark it sure does.......and just like a Philco it sure is hard to turn with wet slippery hands! But its a fabulous design just the same,,,,,60's space age.........

Jimmy,

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THOSE PICTURES!

If you ever want to sell this machine, please give me a holler!

P.S.

Was that turquoise beauty the original agitator on that '63 Hotpoint. Methinks it's a replacement; should be black without the center bleach dispenser. Whatever, they're still great pictures!

 

[filterflo]

You are correct, it is a replacement. The original was a black agitator but the internal pump parts were non functional anymore. It was stuck on the coupling and would not budge, try as I might. I gave up after a month and had to break it off. What you see in the pics is a replacement that I got from Larry @ Modern for about $100.00 (ouch!) I think this replacement is actually one for the Hotpoint DuoLoad washer..........

FilterFlo...

The foregoing post suggests that you have an agitator for one of these Hotpoints? I need to source one, black or turquoise, any help would be appreciated.

Spin Out: For the source of the Hotpoint agitator, call Larry @ Modern Parts House in Parma Ohio ph: 216-661-6966....... If he still has any left he will pack and ship one out to you........I think he had at least one left last time I was there. Jimmy

vintage Hotpoint's

In 1960, when we first moved into the house I'd grow up in, we had the proverbial "Hotpoint kitchen": bottom freezer-refrigerator, built-in oven and cooktop (electric vs. gas), free-standing convertible dishwasher with the cutting-board top that was permanently installed; and in the basement, the Hotpoint "Touch Command" washer (which died after eight years of servce, due to a failed tranny; it was replaced by a Maytag "606" which lasted practically 20 years to the day) and matching dryer. I remember getting scared s***less by the sight of the Hotpoint "coming to life" when it'd spin with a badly unbalanced load (my grandmother had a Blackstone at the time which was almost as creepy).

If you or anyone has any 1960 Hotpoint washer sales lit, or whatever, would it be possible to "scan & post?" Thanx.

Holy cow. I love these Hotpoints. My grandmother had one....but it died in the mid-80's....and I was just 5 or 6. But oh do I remember that green agitator, and the sounds that it made. The agitator on hers was like army green...not the minty green. She never used the filter either, that I can remember. I honestly dont even remember seeing it wash...but i remember the agitator, controls, etc. I am assuming it was solid tub...and I know it was her first automatic washer....sometime from the 60's. Anyway, thanks for sharing guys....would love some videos...

That's a stunning washer, Jimmy - Hotpoint certainly had a lot of style!
