Nice Microtronic,
Wil be going for it already having the other New Generation machines. Already have on the of 9554 Microtronics that we were given off Gary last year. Now in full working order and fettle. The 9554 was one of the last ones made and were not New Geneartion machines. They are from 1988-90. Quite a few of these still out there and seems to be the Microtronics that turn up on ebay the most frequent. |

Lucky Guys.
I hope you manage to fix the leak and that it's nothing to serious. I hope there will be photos! lol. The TOL Hoover New Wave span at 1500rpm in 1994. I had a utlima WM43 made in 97 and was disapointed to find 1400rpm lasted all of 30-40seconds after a long 1000rpm spin. Other than that it was great. My Hoover Neww Wave Washer/dryer from the same year on the other hand span for 2-3 minutes at top speed. Rob can you confirm/deny that the microprofile 9560 span at 1400 for a short time too?

The Newwave 1500 was not in the 1994 brochure with that era having 1300rpm as the fastest machine.
In the 1995 brochure was the 1500rpm in white only. The 9560 spins at 1400rpm for around 1 minute IIRC but that still does not deflect the fact it was the UK's first machine to beat 1100rpm, and by some years at that maintaining the fastest speed over production periods. |

It was late 94 early 95 then. I've a migrane so perhaps my memory is tainted. I had wondered as to how long it span for as I didn't no if it was just later models like mine that span for 30-45seconds.
I love a chrome door on a machine its a fantastic look. I love the massive chrome door on my LG. Is the micrctronic you've just aqquired a Low-energy model? I have just got a 1991 Which magazine which has the stats for the 9554 model. It didn't do bad at all. Darren |

Hello Rob and Darren as fas as i can remember the Micropofile 1400s could only peak at 1400 rpm for no more than 12 seconds as the motors were prone to burning out as at this speed the motors were spinning at 21000 rpm! perhaps if they had used a Hoover motor the machines could have maintained there top speed a bit longer

LOL Gary
Ow are ya? Them OOvahs have got to yer head. Nowt but quality up made up North Wales ya know. Honestly though ya cheeky sod (LOL) our 9560 certainly did around a minute if not more and a video of a later Microprofile on youtube times it to be around 50 seconds. Anyways its not the duration its is about the speed record being broken and in 1986 Hotpoint did it 8 YEARS BEFORE OOOOOvah. Same old story aint it LOL. 1971 and Hotpoints 1600 doing 1100rpm 7 years before Hoover caught up. He whom dares wins lol. Yeah you stick wiv ya OOOvahs mate, nice and slow for ya. LOL :) :) |

The very fast spins 1000 up to 1400 is achieved by field tapping, which means the controller switch off half of the windings with in the motor, this increases the speed but generates a massive amount of heat. So it’s a short sharp shot of speed with the motor running at maximum voltage. Any longer and the sweet smell of burning. Which is also why this type of machine should not be put on a spin with out the belt on and a load in the drum, as the motor will out-run it’s self with disaster and destruction of the armature. Picture of a Hotpoint motor with field tapping, seven wires instead of six. |

Nice machines there for the collections...The first Microprofiles 9560w had the "Profile Spin" and Hotpoint invested in a lot in dealer training to promote these new features as Profile Wash etc...
The first machines did only spin for 11 seconds at the top & final speed...the thinking then that with profile spin,most of the bulk of the water was removed at the lower speeds from 500rpm onwards, so as you gotten to the top speed, (lots of tumbling in between spins) 11secs at 1400rpm was all that was needed to "Fling" (that was Hotpoints training term) the final bit of moisture out of the clothes!!! My uncle still has the white 9560W (yes boys I finally checked!!) that I got for my aunt in 1986. appar had new bearing & tub seal and another call out when they forgot to remove the blankets from the side of the drum (which I put there for safety) when it moved house!! I remember selling one to a woman in Cheadle who came back so "bothered by the screaming noise in her basement" that we had to exchange it for a 1000 spin AEG, I got the margin lost by the exchange deducted from my sales commission because of that!! |

Hi James. I think the frideges were revamped in early 1985, probably launched in that New Year. 1984 still saw the 83-series refrigeration on sale, as you a colour modified version of the 1970s 'Amethyst' Iced Diamonds. Paul |

Fantastic, fabulous, cracking, great.
I would love to own this machine; it’s sort of what I’m aspiring to with my project machine, a sort of homage to this model. I had a Saturday job at the village store when still at school and the shop owner had one of these and I carried out a welding repair to the base plate, which had cracked under the shock. I sooooo want one. |

He he oh yeah Lee do that but dont sit to close when the tide goes out..........rotting spider crabs an bits of fish lay on the bottom, it is a feeding frenzy for the shitehawks and a bit wiffy too.
There is the model railway place just back from the harbour with massive layouts etc etc....and the narrow streets to wander up and down and get run over in (no passing room in some of them) It is a lovely place a typical cornish place as any, not like St Ives which is full of wealthy middle class arty types who have bought up everything and anything and totally stripped the place of any character. ah well thats me rant over......bring on the clotted cream ;-) |

Thank you for posting all the progress with this restoration. I’m sure the PCB will transplant to the better facia just go carefully with those spring clips across the top retaining the board, it’s a shame that the facia on the 95’s are so weak and crack with such easy, you innovative repairs should last. PS, if that broken facia and buttons are heading for the bin, I would be interested in it for my project machine. Keep up the good work. Lee |

Hi Ultimafan. It was something I never knew either. It was only when I put the facias next to one another that I noticed the difference. Am going to have to go and update the spreadsheet now. You learn something new every day. Paul |

Hi Lee. God knows when we will find time to water test it, but soon as leak is sorted and barring anything else being wrong, vids will follow shortly after. Fingers crossed for a speedy repair of the leak. Cheers paul |

HI I have one of these machines, Hotpoint 9513 - Very old. The drum is not turning. Does anyone know what the problem could be? I'm thinking of buy a new one - Would it be worth trying to get the old one fixed? Thanks |
