Re: Hotpoint DWF50 heater
The heaters themselves are prone to failure on these, make sure you get two suitable clips if you have to change it. I find the easiest way is to lie machine on its left hand side and attack it from underneath.
Re: Indesit WD10UK
It is contact 5 on CNF, a single blue wire that goes to on/off switch via pressure switch. It has completely melted the tag in the plug and the contact.
Re: Bosch WFB2005
Thanks Dave, somehow think this one will get binned. 😥 It seems pointless having that small detachable plug and not having it available as a spare, it has blown right across and I don’t think I can salvage it.

Again, didn’t realise they did cookers alongside Hoovers!
I take it by ‘hoovers’ you actually mean vacuum cleaners.Re: Hotpoint Recommendation
Penguin45 wrote:Here we have a little conundrum. Hotpoint have been into cooking for years. Until they took over Creda, they bought badged appliances from SMEG. Shortly after the merger, we saw Hotpoint cooking appliances which were the familiar Creda product with the Hotpoint badge on. Fair enough, all now one company.
Hotpoint produced their own cookers for many years, in the 1950’s, even before the GEC takeover of AEI and English Electric. along with the GEC and English Electric ranges, they stopped cooker production for a few years in the 70’s, they were all very good solid products but became uneconomic to produce with out of date factories and the influx of cheap foreign cookers.Re: Follow any blue ball
just in case anyone is like me and employs a firewall, you need to allow animations in your firewall to get this to run, otherwise it is just a pretty picture. 😀
Re: Hoover HSW 150M overheating
Just found the thread in the trade section, it was a re-setable stat with blue writing on it, kept tripping even though I could find no other faults, after running for a week without problems with the Hotpoint TOC, I fitted a new 91213520 TOC and it has been fine for several months now. There are a few different TOC’s so you need the numbers/ ratings and colour of writing to identify.
Re: Hoover HSW 150M overheating
I have had one of these where the front stat was faulty, it kept tripping. I substituted a Hotpoint WD 185° 1600870 one shot device as a test and when this worked Dave did supply the part number and it has been fine since I fitted the new stat.

I think the ‘drive shaft was broken’ was Comet engineer bull***t. It would be impossible not to ‘realise’ a drive shaft, not that there is anything actually called a drive shaft in these machines, was broken. My guess is that if the engineer was from Comet, he hadn’t a clue or couldn’t be bothered trying to find the fault. So :tdown: to Comet. Hope you changed it for a Bosch or similar.

Great expectations, but misplaced I’m afraid.
If you allow for the fact that Hotpoint are now owned by Indesit and some of Indesit’s troublesome electronics have already crept into the Hotpoint machines, then Penguin 45’s advice is very sound. I have a customer with a 27 year old Hotpoint, the current machines will be lucky to see 7 years 😥Re: Hotpoint Twin Tub 9414
you should have seen the size of the box spanner we had for the post nut, it was like as big as a drainpipe.
Re: Hotpoint Twin Tub 9414
Nope, I know you are all dying to know, 😉
Parts are the post nut and gearbox for the Hotpoint Empress model 1090 which had a massive 1/4 hp British Thompson Houston motor driving the gearbox. I am certain that many hundreds of those motors are still around in sheds and garages throughout the land driving all sorts of devices.
Re: TDS DVD
Mine is now working fine again, have not yet risked putting Acrobat Reader 7 back even though it ran perfectly before with both v5 & v7. I did a System Restore back to Oct 20th and TDS is still working even after I allowed the Microsoft Critical Update ref: KB896424 to update and install TDS is running fine with the version of Reader 5 from the TDS dvd.
