Well I have striped down the 18680 and on pulling off the front for the door seal I was confronted with some terrible rust, sham as it’s the only bad patch. Dose any one have any suggestion on where to go with this, I thought of taking the front panel to a car body shop to see how much it would cost to have it treated and re-sprayed.

Hotpoint 18680
The only other thing I can find faulty is the locking unit which works on a cam on the program selector bit like the water disrupter on some models, the plastic slider which engages the push to open button has broken, will have to try and glue that but not too important, just don’t open door with water in the tub, the pecker will stop it opning if the drums is moving. Tub seems ok.

Thanks
Thanks Paul for your input, will use PVA on the block. I’m not very good with the spray can and want to do the old lady some justice got someone to give me a price to treat and to paint the bad bit. Found on the Hotpoint spares web site that plastic slider which locks the door release push button, so going to order one only £2.50, also has listed on a 7 day order the front panel £57.00 bet that wont be available even if I tried, seems to be quite a few parts still available for this model.

Going to have a go at the paint job after all
Well I have be quoted £50 to re-spray the front panel including a full paint match so I have decided to have a go my self and if it turns out a bad job I will get the professional to do it. Can’t be that hard, some rust remover gel, then a good sanding, some metal primer for galvanised steel and then a can of white appliance spray enamel. I will practice on the inside of the panel first to see what the finish will be like!!!! Noticed also that the timer on the 18680 has a thermal stop device, but it works in reverse to the one on the 95622 in as much as the 18680 coil is only activated when the main cam barrel is to be advanced, where has on the 95622 the coil is activated to stop the main cam advance. Sad that I no the programs off like this !! Also invested in those spanners today, so a long weekend of work ahead. Can’t wait, I’ve loads of washing to try in the old lady. | ||
