Ominous rumblings

Hi Darren

Great to hear he took you seriously! At least it will be repaired. Maybe a sell on ebay with a reserve would be the thing but I understand money is tight!

I must admit having had 2 of these machines (WD640 and Aqualtis) Electrolux is preferable. I think Indesit cut too many corners and rely on the OOB too much. I think these machines would smash to bits without the sensor.

Let me know when you are around for a chat.

Hi Rob!
I'm on holz this week! Doing jobs at home like painting our babyboys room before he arrives!

Yea i think the electrolux machines are prefferable. I just don't like that if you press extra rinse or activate Rinse + as it is on my mums AEG you get your 4 rinses, but slow interm spins! Wouldn't it be better to have high spins and extra water for THE best rinse!?

Yea i think your right an ebay special, maybe have to sell the newwave aswell pick myself a cheap neat machine up and put some money away for the youngster!

Hope to hear from you soon

Darren

Hottie

Darren i'm glad its getting sorted and hope u don't have to keep it too long. I went into that 2nd Hand shop the other week in Lincoln. Interesting mix in there. Must keep my eye out. Hope u get sumthing tough if you do change the Hottie to cope with all the baby stuff! I've got myself an Asko which i'm fixing at the mo. Pics n vids will be done wen i get it finished.
Take care.

Suspension was replaced today! With the new rod suspension as in the top models of the new WMD's & aqualtis's! To be fair i'm happy as it span on the 1st distribution on the wash spin and spin after the 1st rinse! The spin after the 2nd rinse it had to distribute about 10 times thats because the load only consisted of teeshirs, shirts underwear and one pair of light trousers and jeans.

Time will tell.

Its okay. FOR NOW! lol

Well at least its working.... for now!

I hope the suspension improves the performance of your Hottie Darren!

Mine's starting to lost the plot! It's given up on waiting for the rinse water to empty on the distri-drain and does the first spin burst full of water! Makes for fun watching, but it's not supposed to do that!

And just recently on every other load or so, it's given up the idea of distributing all together, and instead, flies upto 300 with the drain pump whirring full of rinse water!

My balance sensor now only works when it wants to. I.E it'll kick in if a load is perfectly balanced, then will screw it up. If the load is relitavely unbalanced it'll spin! Causing it to hop around like a kangaroo!

I'm waiting for something to go on it... Because to be honest i'm well and truly fed up with it. When it's in a good mood, I love it. But then it goes all mardy, and I just want to shoot it!

Can't wait till it dies! I'm sick of the stupidly long pauses between the cottons tumbles! I'm having to use superwash for most loads now, for a proper cottons wash action.

Rant over! :-D

Keep us in the know, with the forthcomings of your Hotpoint!

Dan

P.S Happy belated birthday!

Now just to get my mum's Whirlpool sorted

The suspension appears to be going on that too, and the bearings, and the interlock, and the door seal, and probably more, christ it's only 2 years old, maybe thats old for a modern machine =[.

At least mum has agreed to shell out for a Miele Prestige Plus 6 (W 562) 1300spin when it finally pops it's clogs =D

Despite the awful squeal and fan rattling I do think (and hope) the Hotpoint (a REAL Hotpoint) dryer still has a good few years left in it.

Hi dyson2drums!
I'm not sure what the rod suspension is like as i got my mum to housesit for me! The new suspension is very ridgit from the first run! it balanced straight away for two of the spins! I was in shock! lol

It is completely different to the old suspension which when i shook them side to side they rattled allover! there knackered!

[dyson2drums]

Hey thanks, ur wxplanation about shaking from side to side gives me a clear understanding as that once happened on my servis m6115 1100rpm which lasted 7 months. lol

 

[newwave1]

A servis last 7months! thats not uncommon! lol! Yea the new suspension seems better though i did a synethetic load earlier with some trousers, a couple of shirt a pair of jeans and a towel and it grumbled abit. It did the final spin out of balance!!! lol!
