I will check it out, number has been posted on here before but I cannot find it at the moment.

Found it, my apologies 😳 should be a 1604770.

I always use an angle grinder to sort out the bolts on the spider, eg.cut through the spider arms as close as you can to the outer part of the drum. (make sure you use some safety goggles) Fit new spider and back part of drum with new bearings / seal already fitted.

I always refer the customer to the fact that they can have the job done by Hotpoint for aprox £90 if the machine is under 5 years old,under the free parts gaurantee, Haa, Haa.

It depends on how desperate the customer is to having the machine fixed,I can usually have it fixed next day, they usually have to wait several days before a Hotpoint engineer can call.

Most customers are happy with this because they save money in the long run if they are prepared to wait for Hotpoint,but the advise offered my me stands in good stead after the gaurantee runs out because they come back to me, for advice or repairs.

We’re getting to an interesting point with these machines. My personal opinion is that they’re junk. You can fill them with nice new parts, and they’re still junk. Now that they’re hitting the 5 year mark I take great joy in giving the death rights. Replace with a Bosch and NOW (deep and profound joy) we will be able to offer the UKW “X” machine – a whole life solution.

So let’s stop worrying about these and look forward to a better future, yes?

Chris.
