Wow, 18873 what a smart looking machine, I like the brown, bronze door and trims.
Can’t wait to see a thread about this one.
Much appreciation to you Paul for this great thread.

UPDATE re: Model 1830

Apologies for readers of this having to endure loading up all the above pictures, but a couple of new photos warrant an update to this thread.

First off, courtesy of an Argos Catalogue from 1974 (thanks to Chris for posting the link), here we have the first confirmed image of the Hotpoint 1830!

Confirmed differences over the Model 1600, linked solely to visual appearance, were a white lid, with white dials and switch gear.
Also confirmed that the machine carried over the clear door bowl, versus being 'Liberatored' with a purple one.

Update re: Model 1508

transpires that there were two versions of the 1508, with the previous images of this model being of the earlier version.

Appears that circa 1973/74, the 1508 was restyled with a silver fascia versus the bluey/purple of the original.

A good image below, showing the lid up and drum access.

and a second image showing the silver fascia better, with orange switches...

Hi Paul

Hello Paul, thanks for adding to this great thread, and I have a small question to ask, if you can answer.

I am soon to acquire a Hotpoint 1731, from my mum's friend, who inherited recently from her grandmother in law. It's not had much use, and as she has small children and lot's of washing, the 1731 isn't the most convenient, so she's replaced it, and passing it on to me soon. It works, apart from the timer not working so you have to keep an eye on it or it just keeps going, as she discovered when she accidentally on overnight once!

Anyway, onto the question. On the picture of the 1731 you posted on this thread - Reply 121 - shows a dryer with coloured bits in traditional Liberator fashion, however this one appears to be more browny/bronze on the fascia and the dial is brown instead of purple, so is it a slightly later version?

Thanks - not just for the impending advice which I know will be EXCELLENT as per usual, but for the whole inflo thread!

Many thanks!

Jacob

Hi Jacob.

I think your 1731 is a standard model, but might require a wipe over of the fascia to resurrect the silvery finish. There appears to be some staining/discolouration of the fascia, on the machine in your picture.
Dial wise, I would assume it is a replacement dial if its in brown. As far as I know, all 1731's will have been decked out in purple.

The picture below is of a 1731 on ebay, the auction of which ended today - I didn't buy it :-( Very tidy machine, with a not very yellowed door too!

Good luck with the acquisition Jacob - set up a thread to show it off your 1731 when it arrives.

thanks for the updates, I know it's slightly off topic but still in the Vintage forum, apparently the 93x5 series tumble dryers were sold in parallel with the 93x6 Aquarius Drying System models, we'd like to know if these rumours were true, many thanks

Thanks for that, I wondered if it had discoloured, so would a clean just remove the discolouration? Please could you let me know if any specialist products are required?

Thanks very much, been looking forward to it, however, it may be a couple of weeks until it arrives.

Thanks very much.

Jacob

Hotpoint 95620...

Hi guys, I have a question for you Hotpoint fans, regarding Hotpoint New Generation (95620). It's been so long ago now, that I have forgotten how some of the wash phases went.

I have provided you a link of the Hotpoint 9513 doing a synthetic cycle no "6". Ten minutes in to the video, it does a stepped cool down/1st rinse combo. Aka it intakes water whilst it drains and rinses.

Did all Hotpoint's including the (95620) do that to? I simply cannot can't remember if mother's machine did that, as she never used the synthetic cycles so much.

Thanks in advance,
Hass

Hi Hass.
Directing me to that video brought memories of my parents 95452 flooding back - yep, theirs did that for sure.
Despite owning a 95620, 95360 and a 95842, I can't confirm or deny this feature with those models, as I have never been in charge of turning them on and can't associate their actions with a specific programme.

Hopefully next year, post house rebuild, we will be in a position to check for you.

Model 18872

2016 Update number 1.

Bought a catalogue on disk a number of months ago and it contained a small, poor quality unfortunately image of the almond 18872 Microtronic L.E.

To the best of my knowledge, this is the only image of this model ....

Model 1827

2016 Update number 2

Not a photo, but a line drawing from a Currys advert from the Daily Express March 23rd 1979.

As with all updates to this thread, apologies for the time it probably takes to load.
Hope your perseverance was worth it?

All the best.

GE Filter flo vs UK Hotpoint

Question. How are the two related? UK Hotpoints seem to have similarities to GE filter flos. The link pan, snubers, motor to pump connector...
