Re: Hotpoint 9559W Washing machine
Nope, never found the need but that aside I know Hotpoint, used to work for them when it was BDA so pride myself in knowing a bit about them but one with a ceramic seal had me thinking.
Incidentally it was the forum moderator who posted about ceramic seals so putting 2 and 2 together thought he knew what he was talking about.Tony

Methinks confusion over the Hoover ceramic ring and carbon faced seal but like I said, couldnt find the model and thought well, you know what bodges there are out there…… 😯

Cant seem to find a reference to it, models jump from 9556 then start again at 9560.
