Re: Hotpoint 9559W Washing machine
Cant seem to find a reference to it, models jump from 9556 then start again at 9560.

Looking at the above it looks like someone has made a very big job out of something quite simple.
Ceramic Seal ????
bronze bush comes as part of the drum support. Not excatly costly.Re: Hotpoint 9559W Washing machine
Methinks confusion over the Hoover ceramic ring and carbon faced seal but like I said, couldnt find the model and thought well, you know what bodges there are out there…… 😯

The model number, together with exploded drawings and part numbers is on the Hotpoint site Tony, I guess you didn’t look in the right area eh?
(Just type 9559W in the model number search box after opening the link below)

Burns mentioned Partfinder to you, so I guess you don’t have that either?
Re: Hotpoint 9559W Washing machine
Nope, never found the need but that aside I know Hotpoint, used to work for them when it was BDA so pride myself in knowing a bit about them but one with a ceramic seal had me thinking.
Incidentally it was the forum moderator who posted about ceramic seals so putting 2 and 2 together thought he knew what he was talking about.Tony
