the wash and heat selector. the slight streaking around the heat selector is nothing to worry about - its just water residue from when i gave it a quick wash over. that area just hadnt dried yet...

Nice That's nice twin tub you have. I hope you get the belts soon, would like to see a video of her in action. How much can the wash tub hold? James | ||

I had one of these a year or two ago!!! My brothers a kitchen fitter and an old lady asked him if he would dispose of her fully working hotpoint twintub and he said he knew someone who would have use for it ;) I sold it on as twinnies n toploaders aren't really my thing, then it cost me money as i had to pay for the seals to be replaced cuz they perished!

Hey guys, nice find! Have to say I'm loving toploader washing at the moment! Whether it's because it's different I don't know, but it certainly is an interesting way to do laundry :-) Jon | ||

Seals...!!!
Am surprised to here a few of you here mention seals, Its usually the water pipes from the filter-flow or spinner that are the leakers!!! Generally the hotpoints are usually best for seals n bearings etc... Paul dont forget about the clutch on the spinner, the Hotties never reach full speed quickly , like a Hoover or Servis does...which is a great feature as it allows the pump to get rid of excess water before it finally ramps the speed up.... so avoiding sudz locks & motor burnout. Cheers, Mike | ||
