UK Hotpoint Countess Wringer Washer

[aquarius1984]

Had a whale of a time today revivng the COuntess we collected a few weeks ago and finally got it working perfectly with a few minor doings to it.....

Sump hose had split but oh so luckily right under the jubilee clip attaching it to the pump.

Cue 1 Kenwood Electric knife and a clean cut was made slicing away just enough to ensure the healthy rubber was over the spout.

Had to free up the pump to get it to drain but was worth it.

Anyway as usual heres some pictures.
Videos as soon as youtube gets its ass into gear.

Rob and Paul

In storage where it sat until yesterday.

Sorry about the clanking noise,

It stopped making them with subsequent loads which is just typical really.

Washing some more with water jet action,

Normally one would place the hose in this hole to drain the machine but tried to get a suds cake with it going.
Didnt happen despite using Ariel!
