Hey guys,
I have moved my hotpoint ultima from my garage to my g.f & I's house! I should rephrase that, jon gave me a hand liftin the heavy thing here! After my g.f's indesit wg1130d died of timer failure!

It looks really good in the kitchen its quieter in now it has a worksurface over it & Programmes seem to complete really quickly with the hot/cold connection. Though i can always press the profile wash button should i require a longer cycle!

I'll stick a pic n a new vid up shortly!

Darren

Hi Darren, sounds like fun.

Did you sabotage that Indesit hehe? I know you didn't like it in the end.

Rob,
The indesit died of timer failure. it on the rinses, it would fill and just not tumble and just click thru. and on final spin it just bursted at about 400 for 10seconds about 900 times all the way through the final spin. so i cleared it with my g.f n brought my hotpoint over. Now im chuffed.

Darren

haha my bendix did that exept it didnt move the whole way throught the cycle. im sued to that cos it always use to do stupid stuff like that but some repair guy came and picked it up. 2 days l8er he said it was unfixable and he took it to the recyclers:@ it was just a busted motor for hevens sake.

Pic of the display, when the machine spins it shows the bars and correlating speed that it is spinning at! Another interesting point, when its heating up it tells you what temperature stage its heating at, so you get a rough idea of how close to heating it is: i.e on a cotton 60 it will start by displaying "heat wash" "30" Then when it reaches it it changes to 40, 50 etc.

Darren - that looks really nice in it's place :-). Was amazed at how quiet it was too in situ... shame I had to dash off as I'd have loved nothing more than a wash in!

How's it settled in?

Jon
