Re: Just for the record..ouch!!!
happycack wrote:Just for the record I was working merrily away on a Hotpoint wm series changing bearings,, spider, heater and carbons yesterday. Got the machine stripped down, old bearings out and ready to rebuild. ‘Just popping out to the van for some spares’ I said to the lady of the house. ‘I’ll make a cuppa now I can get in the kitchen’ she retorted. Good idea. Raining really heavily out side got the spares and returned. Carried on rebuilding her machine and after about five minutes I got the biggest belt I’ve ever had in my life being a bit damp didn’t help. Guessed it?
She’d plugged the washing machine back in instead of the kettle!!!!
Looking forward to the day when I can look back at this incident and laugh.
Maybe a lesson to be learnt somewhere.
Happy Christmas to all our readers.
Here’s an idea…. you know when you buy a new electrical item, they often come with preformed plastic transit cover over the 13amp plug prongs. Why not keep that in your toolbox to cover the washer plug (held on with an elastic band).
It might just save your life 😀Re: Hotpoint WD440P fan motor problem.

Thanks Jim, I have been looking at HPT1604800 on connections and that would appear to be the correct fitting.
Why did I not know about these date codes (where can I find any info to help me with these) and why did Connections only give a choice of one motor for this model number??
Re: Unbeatable rates, no call out charge!

So how do they manage to get away with that? Customers often give me around £5 – £10 when I advise the machine is BER. However £40+ must be some sort of scam.
Re: virus/spyware
Another good free one to consider is Avira AntiVir PersonalEdition (http://www.free-av.com).
I have been using it together with ZoneAlarm for some time.
Re: Look at what you’re missing
I am just trying to work out if “repairs@” will be any use for me.
So I asked the website about a Hotpoint WasherDryer in an FY3 postcode and it gave me 3 businesses. Two are in Preston 14 miles away and another firm called “Doyle’s Appliance Repairs”. Can someone tell me who they are and where they are based
