late hotpoint w/d

Re: late hotpoint w/d

Lots of people report poor drying results with w/d’s.
Ask if it’s had a lot of use before going to all that trouble.
Sometimes they aren’t used to them and expect results comparable to a seperate t/d. They might not be taking out half the load or they might be putting in heavy towels.

Briefly operate machine with door open and (to avoid danger)motor unplugged. Feel air flow coming down – that should tell you whether condenser is clogged.

Forget to plug motor back in if you want to go back again.

also another one late service washer changed handle kit and pecker(handles are different between models but all peckers seem to be the same length on late models)problem is when closing door doesent seem to reach interlock at first i thought i must have wrong handle kit but checked and is right one so going back tomorrow to have another look am wondering if interlock is mashed?? anyone had the same will get model number of machine and handle kit part number if this helps

We just loved these, when replacing condensor look at using long nuts and bolts rather than the self tappers, They very often fall off with the original screws, Ive never had one come off when Ive fitted it with my assortment of nuts and bolts, I keep specially for them.
If youve a new seal for the condensor replace it – If you need one let me know Ive got several spare. Seal cond/tub (Oring)
