Wow - in '81 it was hard to get parts for a '70 Hotpoint? Not good! Interesting - I guess they didn't share parts with the GE washers yet. |

pumps were still pretty easy to find in'81,but clutch parts were a problem.It was around 1972-'73 when the washers went GE design,dryers were GE design much earlier or maybe always GE-had a Ca.1960 hotpoint dryer and it was GE. |

My brother and I started our service company in 1979 I only remember two or three HP STs that our customers had they weren't easy to fix or very durable washers in the end. In the 1970s when working at the Maytag Home appliance store we would fix one occasionally usually pump problems or oil leaks or of items in the outer tub blocking the drain.
