Hotpoint/Creda Spare Parts

Hi Brandon.

As far as parts're concerned, I;ve no idea if what you asked above would be possible, it wouldn't hurt for you to try, but obviously, no guarantees.

It may be more possible for a simple timer knob change, to work, whereas my thoughts for a board change, would probably be more complicated, if not impossible.

Sorry I'm not much help on this point, you may be better off querying Paul, (Matchbox Paul), on this, as he's done more repairs on varrious machines, plus he's got the knack for digging out the production/marketing years, & age of machines for different models, E.G. my Hoover Logic Premier 1250 Washer Dryer A8576, was a Currys special edition, produced & marketed from October 1990.

01st Edit

ElectraDeluxe,

Sorry, didn't realise it was your kitchen/machine, I din't intend any offence, I only used that pic as an example.
The 01st Edition I was intentionally outlining, that we had at my school, a 1300RPM model, had the door like in the pic below, with the controls fascia like on yours.

I think the Washing machine that you had at school was maybe a Hotpoint WMT03 Special Edition.

In The Later Years

Pehaps Creda was starting to be overlooked with regards to Hotpoint, BUT you cannot fault that a "Creda Appliance" would have been in nearly every home after the war, from Carefree Cooker, Corvette Water Heater, Creda Debonair Spin Dryer (Britains First & Best), Calypso and Capri Fires & Room Warmers etc.....and they where radically ahead of Homemaking offering the 60`s housewife a colour co-ordinated range of kitchen appliances - so Creda was well ahead of the game in technology and the use of the colour palette!!!

 

[chestermikeuk]

And

The First Home Laundry Appliance from Creda was the Debonair Spin Dryer which revolutionised washday in the UK, many fabrics could be ironed straight for the drum spinning at 2,800rpm and thicker towels & linens could be dry in hours instead of days from a wooden mangle!!

Creda Debonair Spin Dryer (1958)

The Creda Debonair Spin Dryer was launched in 1958 and produced at the Creda Factory in Blythe Bridge, Staffordshire UK. It revolutionised British laundry days as it extracted a large amount of water that wooden rollers or a mangle could not. It reduced drying time considerably, especially...

Auntie Edie next door had a creda spin dryer,her electron only had an 800 spin so she used it for towels and bedding and other bulky items

Loving that Creda 1000 SupaSpeed and Electra 1200 Electronic! As for the parts, it may have been a typo on the website or a mistake, I think that you can use a Creda motor in a Hotpoint and vice versa, but about exterior parts, the doors can only be used for the Excel 1200 and WMA style machines!

Thanks all!

 

[electradeluxe]

i knew someone who had the supaspeed 1000 in brown,never saw it in action though

brown credas

could you also get almond Creda's like the hotpoint 95 series? I bet that'd look brilliant for a creda, also did Creda ever do a model like the Hotpoint WM54, WM53 etc, I know Jackson did the J1000, but I only know Creda did the W120VW model.

 

[electradeluxe]

i never saw an almond model,just brown/white

Hotpoint WMT03

optima, the WMT03 was a 1400 model, I think the one you're referring to is the WMT05, I'm guessing those models were a cheap version of the First Edition range, along with the WMA5, 1000rpm. Or it could've been the WMA13, 1300 First Edition.

Neil, I think the closest to almond I've seen was the Electra Deluxe 1200, which was posted near the beginning of the forum in Reply 2, but it could be just because of the poor lighting. Oh, how I'd love to just go back and time and raid a showroom full of Creda Microns, Concordes you name it.

First Edit

Yes i forgot about the WMA13 First Edition so i guess it could have been that one!

 

[candyd10_14x]

My old neighbour (R.I.P) owned a Hotpoint WMT03, used to love putting my ears to the wall whenever it hit 1400, loved the sounds of the WMA, WMT ranges on 1400RPM.

WMA series

I don't know why but i was never ever attracted to the next generation WMA models, they never did it for me.
