OMG Steve!
Hi Steve.
Deffo, pretty please can I take you up on your kind offer of a copy of that brochure. I am soooooo hoping that it has within its pages the first image I will ever have seen of the 9340 Sensor Dryer!
Interesting to see that the original plan appears to have been that Microprofile's have a normal metal lid with side trims, rather than the fully trimmed formica style top that they received, when released to the public. V interesting.
The 9544 looks in great condition. The rather jumpy sounding distribute could either be brushes or a failing tacho on the motor. The 18371 we have up here first manifested the latter issue, by speeding up the wash speed considerably. Was interesting to watch with water in, but not with a load as it caused it to bang and shift around the floor. Machine than went into storage for a couple of years - plugged it in when it moved to Ripley some months ago and it now does nothing but spin, as the tacho has now completely failed.
Sure you will sort it, whatever the issue and its a lovely machine to add to your superb collection.
Fingers crossed for a 9340!
Next update soon.

Hi Paul
I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you as it doesn't have the 9340. The top of the range in this brochure is a 9330. I have some Hotpoint product information guide for the 9344 but that is just a line drawing. Will see if I can scan the brochure this week when no ones looking lol

Ahhh, well.
May the search for the fabled 9340 continue.
I went and checked last night and saw that the 9340 didn't arrive on the scene until a year and a half after the Microprofile. With the brochure being an early print, the 9330 would indeed have been top of the range.
Nevertheless, it looks a great brochure - don't get yourself into trouble scanning it!

9556 1200 MICROPROFILE
Introduced in June 1991, this is the machine that killed off the Microtronic and taking its place in the line up.
With a 1200 rpm spin, this model was a slightly less fancy version of the top of the range model and carried a traditional style lid, with side strips ....

9560 Microprofile 1300 De Luxe
Jumping back in time to May 1986 when the new top of the range model was introduced, with the arrival of the new Microprofile 1300 De Luxe.
Using a full digital display screen, this was Hotpoint's fastest spinning front loader though, despite being called a 1300, the service information gives that game away that it actually was a 1400rpm machine.
Introduced 'PROFILE' spin, whereby the machine spins at gradually increasing increments, with tumbling and re-distributing in between each spin speed.
A smart looking machine, very expensive and made a big impression on me when Mr Briggs at number 8 bought one, to replace his Servis Supertwin. Am sure it made an impression on him too - particularly when it did top speed, as the GEC motors weren't exactly quiet!

Hi Paul
Didn't get into trouble scanning it but almost crashed the print server. Its more the ribbing I'd get from colleagues even though they know I'm into washers lol
Anyway, will ping to you tomorrow probably but here are the pages on the 9560 from the brochure to add to your thread.

9340
Paul, wouldn't the 9340 be identical to the 9344? Like in the same case as the 9320 and 9324? Just perhaps different style font for the model name (9XX0 using Capital and lower-case letters, 9XX4 using block capitals)?
I don't know, just my thought on that, perhaps it was different for the Microprofiles.

9340
Hi Paul
I recently acquired some service information manuals and the one covering the dryers mentions that the 9340 was a pre production model which might explain the lack of images. According to the manual the 9344 was the first production model so should be identical. The only difference I can spot is the power supply for the PCB.
Interesting note on the delay in the Aquarius range as well!
Hope this helps with the mystery machine.
