Sorry Matt. Am gutted for you - fingers crossed it will be a simple repair. I dont have servicing info for Hotpoint spinners. Hopefully someone else will be able to help. Paul |

Hi Matt, does sound like the capacitor, although could be the lid contact switch and/or broken wiring etc...does the motor look like this underneath?? this is the square Morphy Richards version which was similar to it...the capacitor is the large tube at 6.30 with the screw nut... If it is the capacitor its an easy fix, BUT if you dont do repairs make sure you get someone who knows!!!these units can hold a large current until discharged!!! and always use an RCD circuit breaker plug when using an old appliance unless it has recently been PAT tested & certified. |
