finally for tonight...
doing a drum waggle test gives a slight movement in the bearings, which will have to be sorted at some stage in the future.
Taking the back off the machine confirmed the state of play with a slight stain confirming bleeding bearings.
This picture shows also the only clear carbon dust I could find, with a thin layer over the module cover sheets.
Will continue prettifying the machine and hopefully provide a further update at the weekend.
ta ta for now

Marvellous...
If I had that I'd shove our WML540 out and put that beauty in it's place. Where are Hotpoint's built at now because if the factory is closed then there won't be people there, that could mean machines left undiscovered?

Fantastic, fabulous, cracking, great.
I would love to own this machine; it’s sort of what I’m aspiring to with my project machine, a sort of homage to this model. I had a Saturday job at the village store when still at school and the shop owner had one of these and I carried out a welding repair to the base plate, which had cracked under the shock.
I sooooo want one.

I have just spotted that steam vent at the back of the soap draw, not seen that on a 95 before, suppose it’s to help keep the damp out of the sell, to protect those electronics.

Is this the machine, in the link at the very top of this thread, from Derby?

Hi Lee.
Yep - this is the machine from Derby. Really couldnt let this one escape and the seller was really pleased that it was going to have a long term future, as a collection piece to be restored, rather than be treated as just any old washing machine.
The first time I looked at the back of the machine, I too noticed the unusual steam vent. A de luxe top of the range feature? I have never seen this feature on any other 95.
Another teaser pic below!
I am eager for the weekend, as I have to raid storage for a specific replacement part and I hope a) we have one and b) that its serviceable.
Keep your fingers crossed.
Paul
p.s in the piccy below, the top of the main front panel had been cleaned and came up pretty darn good too.

A few more pics....
cleaned up the door area and door seal and both came up lovely.
Note the different door hinge arrangement, from other 95's. Perhaps this was the earlier weaker design?
All other 95s I have seen have had the two plastic pieces that go over prongs on the hinge part attached to the machine, and which then screw into runners on the door...
