Hi Matt. agree with you wholeheartedly - they aint bad lookers!
always stuck out a bit in kitchens due to the bigger than usual gap betwen the top of the machine and the bottom of the worksurface, but then Hotpoint sold enough of their short n' squatt-uns, so people obviously didnt mind too much.
Hi Zachary. Brought memories of my mothers 95452 flooding back. Identical pattern of spin cycle to my mothers machine, whereas the 95620 stopped stationary in between spins and redistribution.
Memories of a machine that served my family well for just short of 20 years with little fuss. If it had gone on for two more years, it would now be in mine and robs collection and it really pains me that it isnt.
Hiya Rob.
I only discovered the secret of the Hotpoint dating process a couple of weeks ago and post an image of the spreadsheet i put together below.
I have only dealt with the 70s through to early 1990s, as i know neither when they introduced the system nor whether they still use it.
Either way, you look on the information panel on the rear of the machine. If the serial number is written like mine and robs machine, take the first two digits. On older machines the two digits are found in a seperate box to the right of the serial number, usually with the word 'code' written above.
This two digit number refers to a month and year, which you can uncode by using the table below. Mine and Robs machine is '59' which, you have to know the rough time of manufacture, dates it to November 1982.
Things are a bit wishy washy between 95 and 02, as hotpoint didnt use some of these numbers and i cant remember which ones they were.
I am pretty sure that the table below is accurate, as far as it goes, so date away people.
Cheers
paul
