Re: Hotpoint 95360 washer – timer problem
Hopefully you’ll come back….I bought a replacement piece for the washer:
http://www.unifit.co.uk/products/5562
I have my old timer knob off, but I cannot figure out how to get the original broker ‘insert’ out of the dial, so I can put the new one in. Is it glued or something? I have removed the 2 small screws on the face of the dial. I am hoping that when I did my ‘temporary’ repair of supergluing the dial on to the spindle, that I didn’t superglue this insert on to the dial as well. Is that it, or is there a trick to getting this off? Thanks again for all your help!!Re: Hotpoint 95360 washer – timer problem
Not to worry. I am hoping only to be able to identify the numbers on the timer, so that I can order it from the above website. I will then have a professional put it in for me. I figure it is cheaper this way, rather than have a professional come and remove the top to first see the numbers and then have to return to install the new timer. Two call-outs!
Thanks again for everyone’s assistance. Really helpful!Re: Hotpoint 95360 washer – timer problem
Thank you very much for all the advice given here. Hopefully I can continue to ask stupid questions…?? :eeek:
I am going to attempt to do this myself (background: old, wrinkled female with tons of tools and enough stupidity and lack of cash to tackle these things myself). I pulled the machine out somewhat just to ‘study’ about getting the top panel off, so I can unscrew the front fascia, which I believe is how this is supposed to be done? There are decorative strips along the top, which I removed, to find two holes on either side, where a the end of a clip coming from inside the machine appears to be holding the top on, on either side. I didn’t mess with this (yet), but was hoping that one of you patient experts could advise if this is how the top was being held on. And if so, how do you prevent this from falling into the body of the machine. Ah, screws would have been easier…..Re: Hotpoint 95360 washer – timer problem
Thank you. Really much appreciated!
Regarding fabric condition valve (and I am only assuming that I know what this is; that this is some sort of delay for adding fabric conditioner), would that happen more than once in an given cycle? My delay appears to happen more than once, however, you are right, I am only guessing regarding cycle positions, just by assuming that the final spin is longer and more robust than during the cycle, and therefore that the water intake that occurs after than robust and lengthy spin is actually the start of a new cycle/setting.
Thanks again for all info and the above links.Re: Hotpoint 95360 washer – timer problem
And I just wanted to add that I really appreciate all of the above information. I have been searching on the internet for a long time (months, actually) to get this good information.
Re: Hotpoint 95360 washer – timer problem
Wow, how cool is that – but you will have to excuse my stupidity. It is not when the water is coming in to the machine that is the problem. It is when the water is going out. In other words, water comes in fine, everything soaped up, spraying good, etc, the tub revolves this way and that way, and then it is time for the water to drain out, and the timer stops. I move the timer one click, and the water drains out fine, tub spins, stops, new water comes in, washes well, tub revolves, then it is time for that water to drain out, and the timer stops. I move one click on the dial, and the water drains out well, etc.
Sorry for being pedantic above, and not explaining well in my first post. REALLY helpful. I actually found one site when I was researching, where guys collect these older machines, this that said the Hotpoint 95360 is ‘uber rare’!! Now that I feel I have a valuable antique, I want to repair it all the more… :eeek:
Thanks again!!
PS. You will have to excuse me (American living over here and used to top loader with a lint filter right where I can see it), but I also have never been able to find the lint filter in this machine. The machine physically does drain well (after I move the timer myself), but I am also interested in whether this might be part of the problem. Thanks again….
