With the 93 being a pressure cabinet, whilst you have it to pieces its best to replace (if damaged) the front panel seals.

Here is our effort closer up.

Hope these pics give an idea of what faces you with your 93. The hardest part is getting that fascia off - be as careful as you can.

Hi Paul
Have just looked through my photo library and and I havent got any photos of taking a 17 to pieces. I thought I had one, but cant find it.

Any help required - just pop back here and we will try to help (Mathew knows more than me though!).

Thank you Paul!..The photos are a great help. I now know what I have to look forward to when attempting the repair.It certainly looks like it will be an interesting experience. Can't tell you how nervous I am about getting the fascia off. Such a shame Hotpoint used a plastic that gets so brittle. Im yet to see a 93/95 series machine without some of the plastic broken somewhere.Mine has a crack already behind the timer dial where one of the screws is. Looks like the machine may have had something done to it before and the screw has been tightened to much or maybe just has cracked at the weak point when the plastic has become brittle.

Thanks again Paul

MatchBox, what does the term "pressure cabinet" relate to? Is the entire cabinet sealed?
