The hotpoint aquarius 1100 (wm63)

Just what I’ve been looking for, sound machine with out a timer and only needs a new interlock and then I can fit my circuits.

Looks like the faulty interlock shorted out the original
timmer.

hi

so are you going to put your own programmes that you designed into this machine?
if so soooooooo coooooooooool!

Yes I am going to put my own programmes into this machine, I have made some PCB’s ready to fit and also written the programs and put them onto a chip.

The machine is in good condition, all the electrical components and in good order and ready for my circuits except for the doorinter lock which is faulty and a replacement is ordered.

The facer has the switch that I have been looking for and where the timer knob was I will fit a spin speed selector hopefully and the speed controller has a circuit for a spin slider.

Mechanically sound as will, bearings are a double sleeve type and the suspension seems in good order too.

Who bloody designed this soap draw it has taken my over an hour to clean it, bloody stupid shape compartments; it was full of mould and scum, I had to get a tooth brush to get into all the stupid corners and soaked it in bleach for some time to get rid of the mould.

That is my only complaint with is so far.

Having real problems with my internet connection, it's so slow tonight.

Thats going to be great, so youre going to put the spin speed selector in the place of the original program selector. How will you select the washing program?

Thanks for pics, i had a wm64 for 1 year in cream. it was 1200 spin very screechy and loud but it was a replacement as the hoover logic 1200 had the carbons gone after 18 years (no breakdowns ever)but they were stuck in and an engineer also tried without charge.

It washed well 'n' quick in an hour on program E as we always used that or D cottons 60.

Now i have the dyson and the hotpoint was thrown away as it was leaking and once it launched with duvet covers and seized the drum and the drum was on an angle, the lg replaced that which is my grans house. lol.

Hi, to select a program all you have to do is press in the corresponding button and switch on the power, only 4 programs

1 = 95c WHITE COTTON (ECONOMY)
2 = 60c COLOUR FAST (SUPA RINSE)
5 = 40c NON COLOUR FAST (RINSE HOLD)
7 = 40c WOOLENS AND DELICATS (TIME SAVER)

hi hotpoint95622,
Very interested to see how your project turns out, the timers on these WM machines are quite reliable but if you could design your PCB to fit the latest range of hotpoint that go pop every ten minuites and flash silly fault codes then you could be in buisiness.

Good luck and rememeber to stick a video of it on youtube when your done!

cool so the programs on the options buttons.

Anything interesting programmed like spin rinses etc or high fillings.

when its all ready please do videos, no rush take your time.

thanks for info

Wm63 stripe down

hotpoint95622's profile picture
I’ve striped down the original wiring harness and taken the tub front plate off ready for some modification.

The Modification

hotpoint95622's profile picture
Modification of the front tub plate to accommodate two thermostats.
Unfortunately the stats that I’m using are to big for the knock out already on the plate so I have drilled out and fitted rubber holders to house stats.

Home for the relays

hotpoint95622's profile picture
Hopefully going to fit the relays and the transformer that supply 12DC to the main PCD board, to the pump access plat at the back of machine as there is a lot of space here.

Home for the speed control

hotpoint95622's profile picture
Hopefully going to fit the speed control PCB in the front right of the machine, this would be its normal position if a mechanical timer was used.

Space for the main PCB

Using this space next to soap dispenser housing to locate the main PCB.

Orignal power switch

hotpoint95622's profile picture
Going to use original power switch and pressure switch, debating on the use of a second pressure switch as a safety device for the heater circuit.

New motor

hotpoint95622's profile picture
This motor will have to go to the spares store for keeps, might come in at some time, as it has a digital taco and also a half tap field winding and wont work with my old speed control.

I have a new motor with an analogue taco fitted so should work with the old speed control unit ?????????

More to come soon

hotpoint95622's profile picture
Will update ever one when I have fitted the relays and constructed a mains wiring loom.

Will do the low voltage stuff later on.

Ho my god

hotpoint95622's profile picture
I think I have found a Hotpoint 18 series machine, will also keep you all updated on this as well, hopefully I can persuade the owner to part with it and find room to store it.

Modification to the tub complete

hotpoint95622's profile picture
This morning I refitted the tub front plate and water tested by filling machine with watering can till the pressure switch clicked, no leaks from the seal or the new stats, then lowered drain hose to empty water, job done.

Hi Lee

Cant wait to see the end product and great you managed to find yourself a really good machine to use.

wonderful to see the Hotpoint internals of their last 'traditional' machines.
Testament to a sound design, the fact that take the back and front off a mid 70s liberator and sit it next to the WM and the design would be pretty much the same.
25 yearsish?

have you decided how you are going to have the buttons - push in to select or pop out to select. The former will require you to cover up the 'Select' and 'Cancel' info.

keep us updated.
cheers
paul
p.s hows the 95622?

The buttons

hotpoint95622's profile picture
Hi Paul,

The program selection will simply be pushing in so that it clicks and every time you start the machine it will continually do that program or you will be able to push slightly till it starts then release, I all always us the 60C so will probably stay pushed in.

Yes it is nice that the design has lasted, So ease to work on, all at the top and front with few screw to remove and most 18, 95, parts used in this wm, Simply the best.

The 95622 is OK, bet she has been cold over the winter stuck in the garage, She will have more company soon in the form of an Hotpoint 185??,Not sure of the full number,Looks like the one in photo below but with Variable spin speed on the left, which I will be collecting on Wednesday, don’t now what the condition of it is but the out side look OK.

Blimey - the variables are coming out in force...

Hi Lee.
to the best of my knowledge, hotpoint only did one 185xx model numbered machine - the good old 18580 variable 1000.

always a good thing that another classic machine has falln into the ranks of 'safe'.
Please show her off when you get it home.

How did you come by it?

Paul
