Hotpoint 1501

The early tubs where a lighter shade of grey vitreous enamel, and dont forget it had an outer vitreous enamel tub too, unlike the later models with plastic outer tubs.

Hi Mike, So the 1509/10 had a viterous outer? Wonder if it was something like the plastic was being trialed on the 1504. Andy

Hotpoint 1500 / 1501 / 1502

My amend hawk-eye lol, no just the first series, I dont know if the 1502 had, anyone got the manuals??

We could work it out by the weight because the outer tub weighs very heavy, does anyone have a spec sheet for the 1504 to check the weight??

Hawk eye! lol

Have 15790 manual, but never heard of a viterous outer, can imagine an unbalanced load would sound awful with the chances of the inner hitting the outer, ouch! Will have to dig if their is anything in the way of older manuals in my clutches on the TL's. Andy

Hi Mike,

Nice 1501 with with the Blue agi & filter tray, was the agitator blue or has that come out of your 1450 ? I know the filter tray and nozzle were, but the agi i have in my 1501 is white with a blue knob.

I can check out the 1504 weights when i get home tonight.

The outer drum

from the service manuals show that
1507, 1509/01/02/05/10 are polyprolene
1504 polyprolene
1502 viterous enamel
I live and learn =)

Loving this thread. Looking at the original 1504 toploader does it have the same timeline as the frontloader 1600?
My aunt had the 1504 deluxe bought in around '75 and this had a timeline with long med short wash. The original seems different.
Also the filterpan was the same as a twin tub some seem different.
She also had the 1701 dryer- which was binned last year after the door catch gave up.

HI Lee.

Thanks for posting you photos of the 1851/03. Was hoping that you would and especially now as we move out of the purple era, in to mid 1979.

Thanks especially for posting the piccy of your machine with the front panel removed. The only ones I have are of our 18361, but was eager to show the removable front panel idea on an earlier machine, rather than on one of the last.

Machines look superb as ever and you must post some shots of your 18680, when we get there.

Cheers
Paul

In time for Summer 1979...

Hotpoint introduced a relieried range in June 1979.

Gone were the purple door bowl (replaced by clear), the purple switches and dial (replaced by brown) and the heavy chromed door was very firmly chromed plastic. The door had actually been replaced with the final Liberator series.

4 digit numbers were replaced by 5 digits.

Model 1824 was replaced by the 18340 Super Electronic...

Model 18380

The 1828/07 was replaced by the 18380 Electronic De Luxe - initially this was an 800/400rpm machine, but was later upgraded to be 800/500rpm...

 

[matchboxpaul]

Model 18580

The variable 1848/01 was replaced by the 18580 Super Electronic De Luxe.

Surprisingly, being a top of the line-ish machine, this seems to be the one that everyone bought and the model which has survived through to today in relatively high numbers.
There are three or four of this model knocking around in safe hands, whereas there are no 18340's or 18380's.

Spin speed was 1000/400 variable, as with its predecessor...

 

[matchboxpaul]

Model 15690

the toploader 1509/10 was replaced by the 15690 Super De Luxe.

Originally this model was equipped with standard switches, but was quickly modified and most of the production run of this model were equipped with New Generation switches...

Model 15690

here is a later 15690, showing the New Generation switches...
