Well thanks lads, as you know i am not well up on Hotpoints but yes these old ones are my favourites. Anyway back to the reason for the title. This machine I went to see last night on the way home from work at another site i used to work at, they ring if a suitable machine comes in and leave it outside the site so i can see it on the way home I couldnt take it as my car was full of a christmas tree and other sundry junk i carry around with me. So i left it tucked in by the fence to the site, i get there this morning and some thieving little git has used it as a step up so he can get over the fence to have a "afterhours" look around the site, apart from a little dent on the back of the cabinet it has survived. |

Really like these classic hotpoints as they look so solid and good looking too. I would swap my AEG 1600 spin for this beauty. Rob |

The chrome doors on those hotpoints looked superb. I'm not sure whether the photo below is a 18380 or a 18680, I'm still learning! Lol Rob |

I can guess what words you mentioned when you saw the damage..LOL..., lovely machine, no problem about the dent, if it doesnt come out you`ve got an excuse TO PUT A DRYER ON TOP!!! Just love those oold hotties with the motor on top, was quite a radical move at the time!!! would the engineers among us say it was a better move?? heres an inside pic!! |

No spare door and yes your quite right the chrome doors are better looking, but have just found a video I did a while back. Yes the spins are short and the first few don’t pump out fast enough, I have copied the program timings into my project chip and that’s one of the problems, the gap between the tub and drum is smaller on plastic units compared to the enamelled tubs and the drag on the drum from the excess water put strain on the motor.

Fab machine you have there, it really is in great condition on the inside as well as the outside, looks like new. My nan had one of these machines but hers had purple door glass so not sure of the model number but it looked very similar. Would you say these machines were better built than the A3110 Hoover that I have? |

Paul Thats ok it is just a thought, i have to remove the cabinet at some time and straighten out the dent. Lee I rememebr your vids and was so impressed with how smooth the machine sounded, and also the fact that it such a great looking machine Matt yes as Lee has stated i did notice very short spins on the rinse cycle and then about 10 seconds of pumping out, it is interesting how different manufacturers dealt with this problem then, I remember my old Servis quartz 1000 would kick straight up to 1000 rpm on the rinse cycles......soap suds every where and no wonder the bearings went so quickly Gary |

my grandma, to this day, still uses her Hotpoint 18361. She has the matching washer and dryer. It was her first, and only automatic machine and was a present from my Grandad I believe. Since new it has serve Grandma, Grandad, my Dad, auntie Linda, Uncle Roy, Uncle Andrew, Uncle Richard and NOW serves my Grandma, Auntie Linda and my 2 young cousins (aged 8 & 11) who all live with her. Apart from the brushes being replaced a few times, it's never let her down. And the dryer has NEVER broken that I know of.

Hi Freddie19, was just thinking why not just put a new armature on the motor?,cheap as chips, repair done with change from £20 notes. Well thats what I would do anyway, part number 1603071. good luck whatever you decide to do. |
