Hi Lee.

Shame that the 95622 is having the old bearing issues. She is a real beaut of a machine - especially fond of the almond machines, after living with a 95452 for just shy of 20 years.

anyways - pics of bearings on hotpoint 95's....

all i can think of is the thread i started when we first dealt with our 95620. There are some pictures there that should give you an idea of what to do.

of course, any questions or advice required - just drop a line to any of us and we will be pleased to help.

regards
paul
p.s our 95620 is now a 95620! if you look, we had to fit a 95622 facia to it, as it was the only suitable one to hand. Came up trumps a month back and it now is fitted with this....

Some more pics for Lee...

Here is the thread for our Microprofile.

Not as detailed as that for the 95620, but may be of some use.

Really will have to get the 9560 powered up before the end of the year. If only to get rid of one of the motors which we have been kicking around various storage unit floors for months and months and months and.....

Some bits of advice adding new bearings to a 95 series...

From the 95620 and 9560 Masterclasses which took place in Cardiff...

a) on taking to pieces, beware of brittle facia - any rough handling will produce a crack!

b) on taking to pieces, beware all removable metal parts on the backs of hotpoints - they are like razor blades and will slice nice and deep into any flesh applied to them without care and attention.

3) you will need someone to trap the drum pulley and hold it still, whilst you unlock the drum from it.

iv) put new bearings into freezer to get them nice and cold. Shrinks them slightly.

5) apply gentle, NON-OUTER TUB MELTING, heat to the hole the bearing go into. this could make it microscopically a bit bigger and easier to get the chilled and slightly shrunken new bearings into.

hmmmmmmm......anything else? mmmmmmm. Mathew? Rob? Anyone?
 
OOVAH! an OTPOYNT

Well Paul excellent job on the Hoover 800, a very smart looking piece of Hoover History..........its very nice......now if Mike will release it from his wharehouse you will find it a peice of pi.s to service up.

The same for the Hotpoints very smart machines.

Now where the bloody hell is ROB ?????? is he lost inside a Hotpoint time line???????? have you packed him away in a storage unit by accident? or has he moved in to a storage unit and refusing to leave as he cant have all favourite machines about him

Thanks Paul for posting these excellent pictures and videos

Mouldy Old Dough

Im here along with a voice like Lieutenant Pigeon's

Wish I was living at storage LOL.
Would have bene around more had I not got a stinking cold.
Done myself worse by going into work instead of staying off.

Over the worst of it now but still feel rough and looking rough.

1 day until the weekend thank god, weekend will be spent dust busting this place. Something in this house is making me cough. Will be getting that Duvet washed along with the curtains, mats and maybe even a good old carpet vaxing.

Cue the Hoover Turbomaster........

Just so glad no machines require immediate attention. I hope I aint spoken too soon though,
 
Im sure Im teaching you to suck eggs but it was very common for these to leak on the left hand side of the tub, the dispenser to tub fill hoses dont seal very well.

Normally a good clean up and sealant will solve the problem, still got a couple of these fill hoses in the shed.
Never gona use em now though!
 
For fear of instilling the wrath of the God's of Merthyr

Dare I say I actually think those round door machines look nicer without the door trim (providing the adhesive is 100% removed.)

Have always thought that chrome strip of them never looked quite "right".

Beautiful machine though, with or without the chrome, and those Hotpoints as well, all in one thread! *swoons* =)

Matchboxpaul... You have some very nice, well built machines there. I only wish that I either lived over there(UK), or those type of well-built FL's were in the US. When you took the bearing assembly off the drum, what did you do or use to put the new bearings into the assembly? Someone else mentioned putting the bearings in the freezer to shrink them. How long should they be in the freezer?
