Re: hotpoint timer

you can normally fix them by taking apart done loads never scrapped one for that
or what i should say is cant remember scrapping one as these are old machines now

Re: hotpoint timer

remove motor from rear
remove circlip from top rod then slide out both rods
unclip switch section
gently prise off front switch section one of the contacts will stay attached to main body
if contact has melted housing and moved upwards do not remove or try to reposition
clean contacts and the one that has burnt, remove the switching strip and bend it slightly to help it make connection with both contacts ( because its melted the case and moved contact)
cafefully bring the units back together you will have to carefully push the contact that remained on the main body under the switching bar
put both timer halves back together and put rods in
test with a multimeter to see if you continuity. be aware one of the contacts wont work with timer knob in off position. waggle timer knob shaft to make sure contact wont disconnect. if it does strip down again and bend contact a bit more and repeat
when reinstalling timer clean all brass connection and use 4 new spade connectors and discard green block

hope this may help

Phew! That’s pretty skilfull sounding. Hats off to Dave. I often used to just bridge the neutral as the switching was still working on the live side and if it was gone on the live side and OK on neutral, I would swap them round. Not ideal I know, but the chances of a problem arising would be pretty remote. Even that method was a tad fiddly though because you have to bridge two neutral wires to one or something, I don’t remember exactly. Think EMW might still do some re-cons.
