Hello I’m wondering if there are any repair people who may have worked with colston dishwashers in the 1970s. I collect vintage appliances for my vintage themed kitchen and have a colston 101 dishwasher. This has led to a separate college project on manufacturing and patents. If any one has any workshop manuals or instruction booklets or anything for the 101,303 or 505 ( basically the same machine) manufactured between 1974-1977 I think that would be great. Or if you worked at the factory at High Wycombe. I’m trying to decipher the serial number to see if there’s a date of manufacture. I also need some spares but I’m guessing that’s even more remote. Any help Would be great thanks

Hi
The only person I can think of who still pops in here from time to time is Moderator iadom if he doesn’t see this in a few days send him a private message. He spent a large chunk of his working life at Hotpoint.Don
from pics online i dont think i have worked on one
way back then dishwashers were not a mass item so very few homes had them
as for spares well depends on what you need
Dave
Yea thanks. It was a popular dishwasher but not been able to find anything as much as old hoover HOTPOINT washers etc. I need a door seal. Thanks again
got lots of old hoover and hotpoint spares manuals, threw a load away the other week
i dont think i have this one but if i think on in the morning will look
Dave
Thanks Dave. If you have any hoover or Hotpoint manuals you are chucking I’d pay postage if you don’t want them. Especially for twin tubs and early autos thanks
Never touched a Colston dishwasher, or any Colston appliance for that matter. When I retired in April 2018 I got rid of all of my manuals etc in a major garage clear out.
