Final update from me. I did a functionality test on the hotpoint this afternoon and it blew up infront of me a big ass flame came from the timer. The motor sounds in a bad way and i'm feeling a little negative. So i'm goin to lay the hotpoint to its final resting place and find something new that is functioning.

Secondly. I am considering selling my Servis Quartz. I've had alot of bother from my dad about me having 3 machines. And quite frankly i'm dying for a change.
