Re: Hotpoint WM22 – front panel

Re: Hotpoint WM22 door lock

I’ve found a couple of sawn off screws that are a suitable size, and using the self tapping suggestion, I now have the interlock (and door seal) in place. We’ve tried a wash and all seems fine.

thanks

Re: Hotpoint WM22 door lock

I thought there was only one way to align it, by inserting the two protruding “nipples” into the holes on the washing machine, and then put the screws in – but there are no threads to accept the existing screws.

The previous interlock appears to have little bolts (mecano sized) that the screws threaded through.

Re: Hotpoint WM22 door lock

Even the existing ones with this machine? They’re quite a narrow thread, and cut off so they have no point.

Re: Hotpoint WM22 door lock

thanks for the advice.

The spares arrived today (interlock as well as a replacement door seal).

I’ve removed the door seal (had a small tear in it beside the interlock), and the old interlock, and I’m in the process of fitting the new interlock – but the screws that hold the door catch to the interlock are not going in, as the interlock :

a) has smaller holes, and
b) the holes appear to have no thread.

Before I proceed, can someone please advise if this is normal, and should I use the existing screws to “make a thread” or not?
