Hotpoint 9520 door seal

[maltheviking]

Door seal for this model was 168908? so why do I get 1603006 when I order one. 😕

Door seal on the machine does not have the 5 ribs that was on the original 168908 😕 so its not that one and its not a 1603006

For the life of me I cannot identify it 😳 All those years with Hotpoint 😳
9520 date code 16

Hi the door seal on the early 95’s with the 5 ribs was the 168260 supplied in a plastic bag that had acertain aroma about it. This was replaced by the 168908 for the later 95. The 5 ribs were to protect against wear from the pressure hose on the 1800’s, This was not required on the 95 after they fitted the pressure chamber to the side, hence the 908
the 168260 is in stock at connect.

Anorak or what…

Well not quite, 😉

The original seal on the early 1800’s was a black rubber seal, 161018 circa 1973 to 1976/7.

This was changed to a 161394 Grey rubber seal 1976/1981/2.

This was changed to the 168260 on the early 9500 series 1982/3 on. The 168260 does not feature in any 1800 series manual that I have going back to 1973.

It was the same basic shape as the previous seals and was completely interchangeable.

After this came several variations on the same basic seal. The 1600151 which had a different inner profile to accommodate a large stainless steel ring that slotted between the seal and the drum front.
The 1600125 which is the really awkward one to fit as it has two lips, one of which has to be folded inside the drum front, and the 168908. There was also a 169146 introduced in 1990 as part of a facelift.

Then came the 1600072 which has since morphed into the 1603006.

Whats an Anorak ??? 😆 8)

Nice one Jim
Definitly not 1600072,1603006,169146,1600151,1600125, sadly I have some of these in stock. 168260 still listed with Connect 😕
Anorak, you will need one up here in Cumbria, snorkel would come in handy as would a helicopter to get around, most of the bridges are closed for inspection (the ones that are still standing that is)

Re: Hotpoint 9520 door seal

Re living that lot must have given you nightmares?
front plates tearing clothes, doors busting open and gaskets torn at the first sign of trouble.
Thinking aloud it now sounds quite profitable, that lot. Mix in with 100’s of worn brushes and the odd leaking pump. No wonder I covered an area the size of a decent shopping centre. :rolls:

Ah…but it was a large rubber band not a spring. 😛 😆

Re: Hotpoint 9520 door seal

Problem solved I fitted the HP1803 that Chris suggested. When I compared it to the one I took off it’s identicle, obviously been changed before with a copy seal no wonder I was confused.com
Held on with a band and a spring Jim 😉

Belt & braces on those, god knows why they kept the spring on after changing to the clamp band. Although the early clamps were so loose fitting they used to leak badly, had one fall off and drop across the heater terminals once. 😥

I used to like the plastic strap & spring, similar to the Hoover Classica/New Wave one. Unfortunately several engineers sliced themselves open when trying to pull the spring back on, slipping and hitting the cabinet edge with their hands. 😯

They stopped using them after a while but I still come across quite a few.
