Hotpoint wm22 Excellent. Another one of these great machines saved from the tip. I cant tell you much as i had the WM64/wm62, the last ever descent built hotpoint before things went downhill with the hotpoint wma series etc.. | ||

WM22A
Having used a Hotpoint 9536 Washer for years when i lived at home i knew every part of the programming of that machine, so i tried it out last night on a cotton programme. This Washer is very similar to the 9536 the same good old timer noises, apart from a few great features the first being being the 2 spin bursts in between the rinses. The 9536 used to do 2 short 500rpm spin bursts which i found disappointing the WM22 does a slightly longer 500rpm burst but then to my surprise a full speed 1000rpm spin burst which i was not expecting to happen also when it's heating on the cottons cycles the drum speed is short & gentle just the same as on the wool cycle. The out of balance control is not as fussy like on todays machines but it still kicks in but only if the load is seriously un-balanced.

Lovely machine but... Speed module? This machine has a hybrid timer does it not? With combined timer and module. Distinguished by having no push/pull knob. James. | ||

Thanks for the photo Your machine must be a crossover machine, making it a rarity as it's unusual for a for a WM-series machine to have the pre August 1995 electronics coupled with the post August 1995 fascia & dial. James. | ||

Timer
Well James i wasn't expecting to see this older style timer in this machine but i do much prefer it. (ie the spinning profile better than the 95 series models) So yes i guess mine is one of the first early WM models before the timer changed to the microprocessor controlled machines. I looked through the instruction manual last night & it says that this machine should do a couple of ant-crease tumbles after the final spin but it doesn't, so maybe it was just Hotpoint using up the last of the old style timers with a few modifications added.

It seems odd that a machine that new had a mechanical timer. When were the last machines made which used a mechanical timer like this before they went fully electronic? | ||
