Chrome Doors
hmmm I think a chrome door would look better on my machine, Yes I know it is not correct, but as I am living with it I would prefer a chrome door ;-)
Anyone got any spare?

Pretty machines
Especially the 18580
Don't these models only spin for 10 seconds after the rinses? From the videos of them and vague recollections of using these machines in years gone by, they can't pump the water away fast enough in that time, so they just spend 10 seconds splashing water down the glass, pointless really.
Luckily it seems they improved the spins somwhat on later models, ofcourse these earlier machines were the pinaccle of Hotpoint's in terms of build quality though, having an extra suspension leg and an enamel tub I believe?
I agree I think if it were mine I'd like to get a chrome door for it

No spare door and yes your quite right the chrome doors are better looking, but have just found a video I did a while back.
Yes the spins are short and the first few don’t pump out fast enough, I have copied the program timings into my project chip and that’s one of the problems, the gap between the tub and drum is smaller on plastic units compared to the enamelled tubs and the drag on the drum from the excess water put strain on the motor.

How do Gary.
The only doors we have are pitted and scratched to hell and ones that you wouldnt want on your machine. The matt grey aint that bad!
Will keep our eyes peeld for a polished door for you though.
Hiya Matt.
Yep - these machines had enamelled tubs, but went down to two legged suspension from the early 80s onwards. Also, some models e.g 1852 served as 'new generation' prototypes and were fitted with plastic outer tubs. Weirdly enough, there were also batches of early 'new generation' machines which were fitted with enamel tubs. Swings and roundabouts!
As ever, the only bind with the old enamel tubs is the curse of rust! The slightest nick or dent can start it off and 25 to 30 years down the line they are a bitch to repair.
Lee - honest to god, your 18680 is a truly great looking machine. Will be saving your latest vid to my favourites very shortly.
Cheers

Fab machine you have there, it really is in great condition on the inside as well as the outside, looks like new.
My nan had one of these machines but hers had purple door glass so not sure of the model number but it looked very similar.
Would you say these machines were better built than the A3110 Hoover that I have?

Thats ok it is just a thought, i have to remove the cabinet at some time and straighten out the dent.
Lee
I rememebr your vids and was so impressed with how smooth the machine sounded, and also the fact that it such a great looking machine
Matt
yes as Lee has stated i did notice very short spins on the rinse cycle and then about 10 seconds of pumping out, it is interesting how different manufacturers dealt with this problem then, I remember my old Servis quartz 1000 would kick straight up to 1000 rpm on the rinse cycles......soap suds every where and no wonder the bearings went so quickly

Hi Paul,
thanks for your help, I'll let you know how I get on.
Here is a pic of my 18580.
As you can see its in lovely condition.
The cabinet is mint condition and the chrome door
still shines like new.
Hopefully I can get her up and running again.
Cheers,
Gary.

Oh my goodness (that is putting it politely Gary!).
She is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. ABSOLU............
Did you get it out of the box yesterday!!!
That is one hell of a machine in quite the most superb condition. Obviously very well cared for...neh...cherished.
I am overawed and over the moon.
I did want to ask for a piccy or two, when i e-mailed you a couple of nights back, but didnt want to appear too cheeky!
If anyone is able to help you, then Mark should.
Stunning and I plead with you - dont ever give it to the council!

Hotpoint 18361
my grandma, to this day, still uses her Hotpoint 18361. She has the matching washer and dryer. It was her first, and only automatic machine and was a present from my Grandad I believe. Since new it has serve Grandma, Grandad, my Dad, auntie Linda, Uncle Roy, Uncle Andrew, Uncle Richard and NOW serves my Grandma, Auntie Linda and my 2 young cousins (aged 8 & 11) who all live with her. Apart from the brushes being replaced a few times, it's never let her down. And the dryer has NEVER broken that I know of.

Hi guys,
thanks for the compliments on my 18580 but a lot of praise must go to my parents who looked after her so well for so many years.
Apart from the motor packing up the only blemish is a bit of plastic has broken off of the rotory knob.
Maybe someone knows where I can get a replacement?
Here are another couple of pics.
