Re: How old is……
Just this afternoon, fitted a set of motor brushes to a Hotpoint 1827 date code 11 or in real money, November 1978, I have been going to this machine for the past 20 years, fitted the odd door seal, pump & about 15 years ago changed the horrible EMD motor for a GDA one which had a set of brushes 7 years ago, the backplate hasn’t a mark on it. after well over 27 years.
I reckon yours is Oct 1977, If it has the Amythsyt (Purple) door.
