Found this behind the local leccy shop yesterday. Brought it back today. Lovely machine. No electrical problems at all, just one of the suspension rods fractured and snapped which is a rare thing to happen but I confidently repaired it with a spare rod from a donor tub. It also received an original brown dial I had spare, brushes and a brown plastic strip at the bottom as it was in bad shape. Not finished cleaning yet but I tested it out and it works great, this will be a permenant fixture. Any clues as to when it was made because there is no sticker in the door. I assume late 80's. All I know is that its a Currys exclusive and a mongrel!

James.

Blue/green writing on the fascia dates it to 1991 at the earliest in my book. Coupled with what I can see of the drum it looks like it belongs to the 95*6 period.

 

And what a mongrel it was! Much improved by the correct colour dial.

Manufacter Date

As usual Another great find and restoration. Does this machine have a thick drum rim - if so, it will be from the mid 80s.

I recon early 90s

zanussi_lover's profile picture
I recon 1990-1991 as the machine doesn't have the old ITCL codes but temperatures, which were new in the 90s, going away from the 1/95, 2/60 3/6 4/50 5/40 to 95* 60* etc

Nice machine James.

Is this a slightly earlier model with the 85* wash instead of 95*?

Nice rocker switches, but also over to Craig for the lovely Hotpoint drum!

Thank's Everyone!

I think it would be safe to say that this machine would have been made during 1991 as exclusive models never had very long production runs since they used up old bits of trim and that. The module in this is in fact one similar to a 18-series to early 95-series module! The dispenser handle and fascia is of early 95-series origin. Cant wait to give it a proper scrub on Friday and a boil wash!

James.

Great catch James.

I think yours might be the first exclusive preserved!
Dont know much about the 9770, as havent encountered a service manual for one yet, but the dates quoted are probably about right.
The follow on 97-series machines (9773,74,75,76 & 77) were introduced in September 1993.

Happy tinkering.
Paul

I'm back!

Just thought I'd say the 9770 was a bit sickly a few weeks ago. The off/on push/pull switch in the timer burned out or something. Anyway, a kind local repairman gave me a replacement timer for fre along with another timer and a RARE timer AND module for Hotpoint 2nd washer/dryer, the 9901. This is one of my wants so hopefully one will turn up and if it is in need of an "intelligence" overhaul then she will get it. Module is tiny though for a washer/dryer, whys that?

9770 is working away again!

James.

Worked a treat, a bit fond of the sudslocking though but it wouldnt be a Hotpoint otherwise. Water levels lovely! Pics tomorrow!

Well excited to bits that you've got it working James. Any chance of a pic of the timer & of the the module set up

Drain

Are there any distribution drains on this model?

Hi Craig & Henry!

I really wanted to find a timer for this one as it's a rare model since it's exclusive and all. Now I can enjoy this machine for another 21 years! I haven't got a picture of the timer and module set up but basically the module (which is an older variant than the usual 95-series modules I am told) is clipped onto the side of the timer like you see in most later 95-series machines. Not like your WM22 module where it is physically connected to the back. The machine is in its permenant position now and since there isn't a known matching dryer for it, it is residing nicely under the sink. I can't wait to use it again tomorrow!

Pics to follow!

James.

Finally washing... You can imagine I was nervous! And yes it does distri-drain like all 95-series machines.

Machine looks great, James.

Appears totally at home, under the draining board and pleased that, by the sounds of it, you have made some good repair connections. Always useful to have friendly suppliers on side - they can be a real help.

Happy Hotpoint-ing!
Paul
