the door glass and drum are from the aquarius range, im assuming its had a new tub at some point and door glass.

cracked sidestrip

when i got this machine from the junk yard, one of the sidestrips on the lid had cracked, and snapped completely when i caught it on my jumper. it does stay on though so its not too much of a problem.

20 odd years down the line and the sticker is still intact, amazing!

6+Economy = Quick wash

Yes, the red one's do correspond to the Option buttons - Prog 6 is a 40C cycle, however selecting Half load, the machine activates the Quick wash, no heat cycle.
The Pre-wash is just red for some reason, the only reason I can think of is it is to warn you it's not a complete wash cycle, or it was in place for machines with Auto Pre-wash option?

On My WM31 the Fabric softener compartment is flimsy too, but they all are, it's just the way they were designed.

It does Look like the door glass has been changed from the Bowl to the Aquarius model door glasses. I also think it has the wrong drum? This one is 5KG, 50l, the one which may have came with the machine is a 46l one, no holes in the paddle - larger rim next to the rubber. Still at least with this one you will get slightly more power due to the holes in the paddles, there is better showering of the load.

Excellent result George though, bet you are really happy. Looks immaculate, and I hope your sealant works.
 
good machine there, glad it's fouctioning alright again. As for the drum and glass design, this model must of been made in 1990, when they 1st appeared on the Hottie's. If u take a pic on the sticker at the back of the machine, I can work out when it was made by the first or last 2 digits in the serial number, for example, the last 2 digits being 95 would of been made in November 1977 or the first 2 digits being made in November 1985, so I have a good idea as to when this was made lol :)
 
After looking at it again - I can now see the drum has a large rim, and is 46l. It was specifically designed for later machines, such as 1990, as miele4life says, just before the 5KG models launched with the smaller rim.
 
Just a heads up .....

Before you use the machine for a complete cycle you may want to turn the fabric conditioner compartment around so the syphon tubes at the back, You will find it drains better :)

They are quite a bit different to the 18 series. For one thing they have a removable lid, far more sensible! They still have the GEC type motor mounted at the top but the tub is plastic, not metal. If I recall correctly, the 18 series had 3 bottom suspension units whereas the later models only had 2. Actually the washer dryers did retain the metal tubs for a few years before they too went to plastic. On the plastic tub the front comes off and is held on with clips, on the 18 series the back of the tub came off and was held with bolts, similar to the Hoover Logic setup.
 
Lovely machine!

I'm so happy that we are now two very proud owners of two examples in great condition of the famous model! I hope you enjoy using yours as much as I do mine!

Your's is a later model from 89/90, your module is on the top with a later style timer whereas mine has the module at the bottom with the earlier timer, your drum is also original it just has the later style rear. I'm not sure about the syphon tube but I think that style did come into production at that time too.

Nice to see the sticker on yours and to see that your sidestrips are intact, mine has a chip on the left one and I also chipped the door handle on mine but super glue fixed that on again. You could fix it too if you had the chipped bit.
 
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 how much the cabinet bends and reverberates on spin!).

Luckily the door catch and lid trim is still available as a spare part if you look online, but it really can't be stressed how fragile they are!

As has been said before that is not the drum from the aquarius models, there are no holes in the paddles and it still has the thicker rim, just has the newer back and door glass, making it a late production run (again as has been said above).

I gather it also has the later style (unfortunately far more repair prone) interlock, by the lack of the unique buzzing noise when it's draining in your video.

Just to correct some of the above information, the later style "5kg" Aquarius style drum had a 45l volume not 50, I'm not sure of the exact capacity of the earlier drum, but naturally it's less than 46l.

Here's our 9530 on the day Marc collected it, aside from some adjustments to the belt and currently needing new brushes we've been extremely lucky, mechanically and cosmetically it's immaculate and all original; not bad for 25 years old! :)

Have also attached a link to the replacement door catch, and will post a link to replacement lid trims.

sorry hoover1100 if i provided false information... but...

Hotpoint told me directly the drum was 50l on the newer model's, when asking about my drum on My WM31. Why The drum develop some bumps around the paddles a few years back. Nothing to worry about though, no harm has been done in the 2 years they have been there. I was just asking Hotpoint what drum I should replace it with - the man on the phone to my dad on speaker phone, immediately said the WM31 drum is 50l and is available for immediate delivery. However with his knowledge ensured us the drum was not going to brake, and that bumps in this stainless steel was normal.

I have even been told by other people on this site the drum is 50l.
But mistakes happen, maybe you correct it is 45l/46l. Maybe no one is correct and it is 48l, or 52l. In fact I am now so curious to know, I am going to now experiment in future, with a large plastic sheet, and some water.
