Nice looking machine, but................................... I like Filter-Flo washers better, and there is no ryme or reason as to the spacing of knobs on the Hotpoint machines. Why didn't they space the knobs evenly? Mike | ||

I have no complaint with the spacing, but I never did like that style of knob Hotpoint was using during that time period. I've got a friend whose condo has a Hotpoint range in Avocado with such knobs. I always thought they would be difficult to operate if your fingers were wet. | ||

Well, to me, as far as spacing goes, the more the knob does, the less space I see...
The EXTRA RINSE is one example: Very Wide... Versus the Temperature, Water Level & Speed: A bit Narrow, but whatever works! -- Dave (Of which a GE Filter-Flo--& a REGULAR (14 LB) CAPACITY machine--is what Chas. Klamkin recommends in his "How To..." book!) | ||

Model Number? What is the model number of this Hotpoint washer? I need to find a replacement agitator for this machine. | ||

 This is a nice machine but there's really nothing left of Hotpoint with this machine except for the knobs, which, if you look closely, aren't quite the same as Taylor avenue parts at all. If you want better rollover, find one of the spiral ramped agitator pairs that will fit that spline. This is a Filter-Flo with the filter as a rim (ironically, the way the lint filter was originally designed for the GE AW-6; a nice arrangement unless, like some of us, you have a septic system to worry about). Pity these machines shared no other qualities with their progenitors. I'm not saying that Taylor Avenue Hotpoints were great machines; they weren't. But with a little engineering help they could have been.
As a kid who was interested in things like washing machines, there was a time in the late sixties where I had the misconception that things like home appliances and the family car would get better with time.

If I am not mistaken, I think that copper tone Hotpoint washer is the TOL one that will wash two loads of clothes independently of each other at the same time with different temperatures and such. | ||

No, that was the Duo-Load that was introduced in 1968, the next model year, and lasted a couple of years after it was shot down by Consumer Reports (lowest rated washer of the bunch).
And yes, that coppertone beauty was Hotpoint's "All-Fabric Washer" that had electronic speed control.
I'd be a very happy camper if I could snag one of each of these. | ||
