My Hotpoint 9534W!

Yipppeeee.....Combined Washer Dryer De Luxe L.E

Tom that is the 9900!

What a mongrel machine that was - obviously based on the 1987 series machines, but with pre-standardised buttons, new generation mains light and, I can confirm this cause I have the dryer dial, New Generation style programmer and timer dials (solid centres, clear edge/rim and attached via two screws through the finger and thumb grab).

Available in White and Almond.

Obviously though does not have dryer timer by the drawer -great to get that one cleared up!

Many, many thanks for this info Tom.
Very much appreciated.

Oh flip - we clashed postings!

Seems the mystery washer dryer might not be sorted - was there a true 100% New Generation washer-dryer?

Post a piccy of the dial Rob!

Cheers

Me and Rob are posting at exactly the same time - unfortunately appearing in the wrong order though!

Seems mystery IS solved.

Cheers Tom for the images and info and cheers Rob for checking and posting a piccy of the dial.

Great when mysteries get solved.

for the sake of clarity here are a couple of piccies of the replacement model 9901 (I had one of these in the first house i lived in after graduating from university)...

the Hotpoint 9901 Washer Dryer 1000 De Luxe.

Spot the differences between the 9900 and 9901

9920

Well there was this oddity, the 9920 was available at the same time as the 9901, only with Next Generation style buttons but with New Generation style dials.

The 9901 and 9920 continued in production until April 1988 when they were replaced by the 9924 and the 9934.

 

[aquarius1984]

Slight fault so it seems.

There is something wrong that connects the dial and the option buttons....

Pre wash with a "bow tie" pause.

where is the Auto prewash button?

Surely it should have a "o" after pre wash to stop the machine? only Auto prewash enabled machines had the bow tie as a rinsehold style pause point to halt the machine if you didnt want 95 deg after it.

Just seems odd to me, LOL.

Anyways back to Toms machine, Thanks for posting pix, i really do love your machine.

[hotpoint9534]

Rob, yes they all had the 'bow tie', I think it simply avoided Hotpoint having to produce another dial with different transfers. The 9531 and 9533 'spin-slider' machines had an auto prewash button and used the same timer dial (and indeed the same physical timer) as my 9534.

Of course the 95620 and 9540 machines were an entirely different kettle of fish

This is definately one area where the Hotpoint service manuals were vastly superior to Hoovers - they gave detailed line drawings of their machines facia's!

Helps a lot in research and mystery solving (although can cause mysteries) - cheers for the 9920 diagram.
I can see I am going to have to finally get round to dealing with the hotpoint washer dryers on my spreadsheet.

Flippin-eck.

Cheers Tom for starting a great thread.

great thread!

We had a 9934 which we bought at the same time as one of the BSH made dishwashers. It was a shoddy machine. It was one of the machines that had the design flaw that ripped clothes.

The cold water valve stopped working after a few years, My mums friend had an 800 spin version (dunno the age or model number) and the same thing happened to it. Well many years later haha. Ours lasted till 1994 and the 800 spin one was going until 2001.

Hi
Did anyone experience this that when the machine was on full spin speed if you selected slow spin it would slow down and if you un select it, it would speed back up!
I use to mess with that when i was very young!
LOL!

 

[zodawash]

up and down

Dyson2drums -Messing with spin speeds is something i did when young too. I used to love our Indesits variable speed dial from 300 -100. i used to take it up and down during the spin it was fab. I always wanted to try it on my mates Hotpoint with the variable speed slider but alas was not allowed

[zodawash]

whoops that should be 300-1100 of course

 

[newwave1]

Spins up & down!

Ooooh yes dyson2drums!
I used to that that on my 9534, though it was much more fun on my friend 9524 with spinslider!

I really miss my machine! & i've always been on the lookout for a spinslider model, i've never found one local enough!

Hotpoint 9571

Hello Tom, very nice machine and one you will certainly enjoy by the sounds as opposed to the Zanussi!!! I picked up a 9571 1000 spin De-Luxe a while ago, everything nacked with it including a cracked fascia!!! why they couldnt see that you needed a strength support behind the fascia is beyond me...and as they age so they get more brittle...SO BEWARE!!!

Lovely machine in its day, and boys , YES, a CHROME door will always upstage a BROWN one...LOL

Hotpoint 9571 Fascia

Inside a Hottie

Motor on Top...!!no drips of water on this whizzer...nowthen for all you people with a physics degree....

Does it take more "Motor Torque" to "Pull" the weight of the drum from the TOP, or is it better to have the motor underneath...and if "UNDERNEATH" should it be directly central or is it still as efficient to one side????? enquiring minds need to know???

 

[chestermikeuk]

9571 Timer

7 progs...

 

[matchboxpaul]

That machine you posted a piccy of Darren is the Hotpoint 9540 Electronic 1000 De Luxe, from the original 1987 next generation series. Fantastic looking machine, although i still cant decide whether vertical spin slider beats horizontal for looks.

I too played with the variable spins on the old Hotpoints - the motors sounded great.
My mums 95452 always had slow spin enabled, so i had to be quick to speed it up and then slow it down again. If she was in ear shot when i flicked the button she would always get up and check what was going on with it.

Cheers for posting the piccies of the 9571 Mike - another mystery machine solved for the spreadsheet.

Cheers

Hi Mike,
it might interest you to know that your 9571 was exclusive to Rumbelows and was introduced in October 1985. Apparently very similar to the 95492 but with facia button door release.

As much as I love the Zanussi for being built like a tank, I did miss the nice motor sounds of Hotpoint and Hoover. The Z9191T is an absolute pig to move - the Hotpoint seems quite light in comparison.

Darren,
the 9524 didn't have the spin slider, it was simply the 800rpm version of my 9534. The 9531 and 9533 Currys exclusive had the spin slider. Your picture shows the 9540 which has programmes 1 - 9, with 7 being included on the cotton cycle.

The 95620, 9540, 9544 etc series of machines used a thermistor rather than thermostats and used an entirely different timer. They were the superior version of the 9534 and slightly less common.

Then, of course there were the Microtronics of which I haven't a clue because i've never come across one!

Tom.
