    Re: Hotpoint 1509 2-pole will work in 9605???

    hotpoint used to supply a power system which was all the middle less the motor
    to answer your question the complete middle from the early machine should fit but you may not be able to swop components. although the inside of the gearbox did not change later ones have a groove for the circlip to hold the bearing. you could put the early support tube in but you would also have to put in the top bearing and the early tub support as the later one did not have the hardened ring for the thrust bearing.
    i cant remember the dates everthing changed but the main one is the motor change at date code 02 unfortunatly i cant find my early tech manual only the later 96 series one

    NB if an earlier machine had been fitted with a new power kit then it would be fitted with the later support tube

    ps have a look as this on ebay

    item number
    110697209489

    cant tell from picture if its burnt out or not also some motors are relay start not capacitor think this may be a relay one 1509 series it was later they started using a cap, but the centre shafts are all the same and unless bearing siezes and damages shaft will be ok

    this is probably an early one the motor change was at date code 02

    if you look at shaft not only is top separate but if you look at the bottom of the shaft there is no bulge where the bearing went instead there is a bearing ( this type http://www.brammer.co.uk/uk/thrust_bear … ammer.aspx) at the top with hardened faces on the top of the shaft ( missing in this picture ) and on the underside of the tub support. old type of seal had an ali centre that sat on the pegs of the shaft

    i did not find the original fuse..put in some fuse wire 8amp

    replacing an enclosed fuse with a piece of wire is not a good idea
    its the same as putting a piece of wire across the fuse in a plugtop

    first of all if the fuse blows you will have molten copper over every component around
    second an enclosed fuse blows quicker because it is not cooled by the surrounding air
    third to make things worse you put a higher value than the original

    these fuses are easily available I think I got mine from Farnell so there is no excuse

    Re: Hoover New Wave 1300 washer dryer door won’t open!

    its likely

    turn power off and unplug

    look at back of machine there is a cover

    remove cover and you will see a large pulley the belt goes from the small motor pulley at the bottom around the big one

    if the belt is off you should find it lying on the floor or round one of the pulleys
    look at belt for signs of breakage if none clean large pulley with damp cloth to remove dust and replace belt and cover and try
    machine

    Re: Hotpoint Oven light

    if the original was 40W you can fit a lower wattage

    but the lower wattage bulbs are shorter and that means the light will not only be less dur to lower wattage but the filament in the lamp will not be in the middle of the glass lens giving even less light.
    moral fit the right lamp must be meant for an oven

    correct lamp here

    Re: F&P GW503

    will be a fault code
    from what you have said

    machine fills ok but motor does not turn

    fault will prob be a motor fault if machine has a brush motor then my first check would be look at the brushes and see if they have worn down
    just an educated guess dont know machine dont think its sold in uk

    carbon face seal is reliable only thing that happens is corrosion pushes counterface out of support tube

    weight is taken by the large bearing at the bottom of the support tube mounted on the neck of the gearbox so no weight on seal


    the old hotpoint top loader is a brilliant machine but became too costly to produce my mother had a 1502 model and i replaced it with a 1504 which was the best model they produced after that it was all down hill

    1504 had 4 pole motor (runs half speed of yours) clutch shoes where like car rear brake shoes an ali body with a friction material stuck to it. the pump had 4 blades as it was doing half the speed and was rare to leak unlike later models. the gearbox had a needle bearing at the bottom of the pulley so the weight of the belt drive did not wear lower bearing and start an oil leak
    the changes where down to cost and the veiw if it lasted 5 years then its ok shame but that the way things are now but with carbon emmisions on the aganda things may change
