hi Paul

such a great restoration! and truly a great machine! I never knew there were two models of the machine made with more programmes in the 84 version compared to the 83 one.

Keep up the good work

Hiya Gary.

Cheers for the kind words. Glad you are enjoying the thread and OVER THE MOON at your new acquisition.

Cant wait to see an A3060 - A3062 - D6042 photoshoot!

Leave it till you are back on form again though.

Hi Ultimafan.

It was something I never knew either. It was only when I put the facias next to one another that I noticed the difference.

Am going to have to go and update the spreadsheet now.

You learn something new every day.

Here we go then!

The 'AFTER' shot.

Will get around to touching up the edge of the lid soon, though might leave the grazes at the bottom right as a reminder of what it looked like (unless I get a good paint match!)...

Weird, but Hotpoint never quite seemed to remedy the length of the left hand side strips.

My parents 95452 suffered the shorter left, as did my godmothers 95450 as well.

Strange how they seemed to get the right hand to fit flush with the facia, but seldom the left. A shame really cause, if the sidestrip was flush fitting, that chip out of the facia would be even more difficult to see...

The powder drawer facia...

 

[matchboxpaul]

The extended lid.

The side strips were handily broken at the back, so I hacksawed the ends off to make them fit...

 

[matchboxpaul]

A clean and tidy powder drawer...

From a distance but zoomed in - to give the Instruction Manual Cover perspective...

Full frontal!

Mechanical investigattions next, to find out where the leak is from. But thats for another time!

Cheers for viewing.

Bravo, bravo, more, more.
Fantastic stuff what a beautiful machine.

Hopefully the leak is not to a big thing to sort out.

Hi Lee.

God knows when we will find time to water test it, but soon as leak is sorted and barring anything else being wrong, vids will follow shortly after.

Fingers crossed for a speedy repair of the leak.

Cheers

HI

I have one of these machines, Hotpoint 9513 - Very old.

The drum is not turning. Does anyone know what the problem could be?

I'm thinking of buy a new one - Would it be worth trying to get the old one fixed?

Thanks

Sounds like a belt or motor problem to me.
It would be worth trying to fix it, but don't go overboard, plus spares can be difficult to find!
Good Luck
Jacob
