Re: Discontinued washing machines
Hi Sarah and welcome to the forum!
I may be able to assist you with discontinued models but as Martin says there are just so many.
Are you trying to figure out the make or model of a machine that a family member or friend once owned?
I collect, restore and use vintage appliances as Steve has mentioned but I deal washing machines in particular. I have a collection of long discontinued models dating from 1961 to 1996!
Regards,
James

Thanks Jim,
I never examined a fascia of this design until I removed the one from my 1700 dryer for cleaning.
Hopefully I get lucky and find what I need, it would be a shame to let this opportunity go to waste. :bang:
Kind regards,
James

iadom wrote:Morning James, I know you have acquired a couple of bits n pieces, but what exactly do you mean by ‘control panel’
Do you just mean the facia decor, soap drawer etc, or the complete panel with timer etc?
Hi Jim,
As far as I understand it, the machine has the “inner???” control panel that the buttons, door release and potentiometer mount to. I need the actual fascia and dispenser handle (I should have the knobs and anything else sorted). I think I might know somewhere I can get the dispenser handle from but I don’t know the part number.

also check the drum as most of this range use a steel coated drum with an alloy rear. the rears have a habit of corroding through
i may have the odd spare for these but a panel is not among them

Hi Dave,
I haven’t actually collected the machine yet as I want to determine whether it can be saved or not – hopefully I can.
The alloy backplates do have a habit of corroding through but I actually have access to a good backplate if that is the case.
I’d be interested in anything you may have.
Many thanks,
James
Re: Hotpoint Liberator Wanted
Hi Gerry,
Thanks for the heads up, I was talking to Dermot and I have a dryer like one of the ones there so I didn’t pursue them.

Re: English Electric Reversomatic Washing Machine Wanted
Thanks for fixing the pictures @kwatt! 🙂
I really hope someone here knows the whereabouts of some of these lovely machines. I have a lot of love for these oldies. 😀
Kind regards,

Re: Hotpoint 9534A Rinse Hold Issue
I’ll peel it off because it does tarnish the look of the machine and the mark will come off with some elbow grease 🙂
Re: Hotpoint 9534A Rinse Hold Issue
Martin do you reckon I should peel it off? I’m debating with myself…
Re: Hotpoint 9534A Rinse Hold Issue
Hi all,
Got round to getting the machine plumbed in and low and behold the rinse hold option does work! Thank you all for your expertise as per usual. Here are some pictures of it alongside my much loved WD23P.
Andy I’d be so lucky to see one of those in person. It proves that if given the proper care, these old ones can out last any modern competitor by decades!
P.S. You might be wondering why my 9534 has a 95×0 drawer front, I just simply prefer having the electronic symbol on it.
Re: Hotpoint 9534A Rinse Hold Issue
The dryers tend to last forever over here. There was one of those little Creda compacts from the 1970s in the scrap not long ago. I would have loved it but it was battered and it had water in the drum so it was dismissed knowing one will turn up again. The De Luxe dryer will turn up for me sometime. I change my classic machines a lot, usually when I find a model that is more suited to what I have in mind for the collection. I am kind of hoping that the 9325 that currently resides on top of my 9537 will become a 9335 some day :)I have a 95132 New Generation machine but I’d much prefer a 95450 or something 😛 There’s always that purple Hotpoint that needs finding too. God knows how many will pass over the threshold this year. 😀
Re: Hotpoint 9534A Rinse Hold Issue
I never thought of it like that you know 😯 I knew what most of the symbols meant, in fact I knew my ICTL codes from an early age.
Just thinking of this brings up the nice memories I have of loading, setting and watching our Hotpoint 9537 under Mum’s watch. I also remember breaking the door release, pushing the mains neon lens through the fascia and chipping the side strip but those where tokens of love from me LOL!
We had a TL22 as well, that arrived when the house was built in time for my birth. I don’t think it ever needed any repairs throughout the 13 years it lasted. I used to select the buzzer when Mum wasn’t watching and a little later when it finished that annoying and obedient buzzzzzzzzzzzz went through the house and she was call me a rascal hahaha. 😆
Then there was my Aunt’s WD22 which is another machine I favoured because it has the gloss plastics and the hybrid timer as well as my Gran’s 9404 which I spent many times sitting on top of as a child. 😛
I’m lucky to have found an example of these machines for my collection so that I can relive these memories. I have a 9537, WD23 and two Supermatics, all that is needed now is a De luxe dryer model. 🙂
Re: Hotpoint 9534A Rinse Hold Issue
I don’t know what the proper name for the symbol is but I heard people call it a bow tie and does resemble one so I call it that haha. When I was growing up with our 9537 I used to think the rinse symbols were clouds. To find out when I got my first classic Hotpoint that they were actually shower heads was something LOL!
Re: Hotpoint 9534A Rinse Hold Issue
Hi Jim,
Funnily enough I was starting to think that it had to have water in it for rinse hold to function. The only reason I thought I could make it do the rinse hold while empty was because I can make my 9537 do it but that has a much different timer in it altogether. I will try filling it with water on Friday to see what happens. There is a bow tie after the flower symbol on the dial to show users of machine with no rinse hold button/neon that it is paused. I am not 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} sure if it was a 9525 or not as I stripped it about a year ago, all I know is that it is the same number 904/2199/05 timer that came out of this 9534. Unless there are variations of the 904/2199/05 timer I would have thought that this is the exact same?
Regards, James.
