Hotpoint 95360 inlet valve filter

you can get 2 single spades next to each other and it will be fine as long as you insulate one of them in case they touch

It’s done. I have to say this was a bit of an adventure. The pipes on the new pump didn’t line up, so I had to take off the white part and put it back on 90 degrees. The new pump needed the metal bracket that the old one sat on, and I had to cut one of the screws of it off with a Drexel as it wouldn’t budge. I got the two spade connectors in with their original protection, by just filing a bit of the plastic off. I finally got all ready, and found that the original wiring is just not quite long enough to reach the new connectors. I undid one of the clips that hold the wiring in front of the machine, which gave me a few extra inches, and finally got the wiring sorted. The clamp for the tub drain was an absolute nightmare to get on with pliers, but I was finally able to do it. I had noticed, even when the pump was just sitting on the table, that it was slightly ‘wobbly’ between the electrics and the white part. There was nothing there for me to tighten, so I just left it. I figured that the hoses would keep all in place…??? So, with great trepidation, I took of the upper rear panel, plugged the machine in, put it to the rinse cycle and turned it on. Nothing. The circuit breaker blew (it had done this yesterday for something totally unrelated, so I flipped the switch and tried the machine again). This time the water began to come into the tub. I watched and watched, and put my piece of cardboard under the machine. No leaks!!! I did notice that the drain hose now kind of ‘pulses’, I guess with the pump. Of course, I had never really watched it before, so don’t know if this was normal. Anyway, the tub began to slowly spin and again, no leaks. Then, suddenly, the tub went into the fast spin, and I almost had a heart attack! LOL!!
Anyway, a long diatribe, and certainly an adventure, but hopefully, fingers crossed, everything is ok now.

Please let me know if the pulsing of the drain hose is ‘normal’, and also if I need to be concerned about the wobbly pump. ???

And if I have your ‘blessings’ on the above, then all is well, and life can go back to being dull and boring……And if I do have your blessings, then you both have mine, and more. I couldn’t have muddled through this without you. It’s been an adventure, and I thank you both for your time and patience with me, while I tried to do this. My 40 year old washer lives.

pulsing is normal

Thank you. So, I guess everything is ok. Thanks again for all your help.

Missed all of the fun, once again I was at Old Trafford watching Lancashire beat Derbyshire in a T20. Fingers crossed you will get another few years out of the old thing. 😎

[inisfad]

LOL….it seems everything I have is ‘old’, including myself, so let’s hope there’s a few more years left in all. And thanks again for all your advice. I’m sure I’ll be back…lol

[electrofix]

the very fact both Iadom and I remember fixing these puts us in the old bracket as well lol

glad its sorted for now

Ha, how are you on 1600’s and 1850’s and English Electric Liberators Dave?:)

[electrofix]

been there

liberator boot was fun with the rubber ring inside the tub and the reversomatic were the boot clamp was a steel band with a large split pin that wound it up

remember the manual version with flip over controls using bowden cables think it was call wash and rinse but cant be certain. Lost track of how many PMC and module changes i did on 1600 and 1830’s

Dave

[iadom]

I did a bearing change on an old Liberator ONCE.:eek:

[inisfad]

I’m assuming that 1600 and 1830 are not years, but model numbers. And I have to admit, considering that you both were so knowledgeable about my 40 year old machine, that more than once I’ve wondered how ‘elderly’ you guys might be…..

[electrofix]

myself 67 last month started in the shop were I am in 1976. lots of twin tubs and single tubs with power ringers in those days

[USER=”3176″]iadom[/USER] yes did a liberator bearing change it was quite a job from what i remember lol

I’m somewhere between 73 & 75.;) Started for Hotpoint in May 1969. Left after just over 11 years and went on my own. Finally hung up my screwdriver at the age of 70. Now spend my time watching Man United, Lancashire cricket, lots of gardening, occasionally looking after our granddaughter and into my 50th year of playing squash. I still manage 2 or 3 games a week, thankfully most of my regular opponents have slowed down at the same rate as I have.:)

[inisfad]

I’ll be 70 in August. I was wondering about your ages because you are knowledgeable about older machines, and yet also deal with a website/forum. Sometimes that’s contradictory, as if you’ve ever seen some of the older people in, say, your hardware store, trying to ring up your purchase and receipt, you feel like giving them a piece of paper and a crayon…Anyway greatly appreciate you both with your expertise, and as importantly, patience with a noob like myself, trying to struggle with her washing machine. I imagine it can sometimes be frustrating. Thank you again.

And potentially pretty amusing, as well!!
