  This is my new washer. It requires new bearings and needs a could do with a new door seal as its quite dirty and mouldy. The previous owners brought it new from currys in 2003 and the husband changed the bearings last year and now they are completley dead. Probabtly because the bearing seal wasnt put in properly and so it has leaked and has made the bearings break. The previous owners now own a Hotpoint Aquarius+ from the new range. All I can say is I really like it, better than the TL21 but I still prefer the WM12. Many thank-yous to the previous owners and the bearing job will take place in early June. Here are photos. Christopher.

I have removed the whole front and door seal. The machine is an Indesit/meloroni made machine. As Meloroni made machines that were not supposed to come apart deliberately, getting the retaining bands off were a struggle but I sucessfully worked out how to get the rings off(retaining bands). Bye for now. Chris

I cannot agree less! - I am not on the computer very often now either as i am busy trying to get permission to relay some railway on a route closed by Dr. Beeching in 1970 as well as making more videos for youtube. Back to Washers, I think if you do the job right, you can get a good few years out of that machine! - I know for sure that these machines were made when 50% Of hotpoint were owned by indesit, until 2007 when indesit took over for good. Anyway, Great Thread, and Happy Washing! | ||

Indesit bought GDA's share of Hotpoint in 2001, then bought the remainingn (USA I think?) share in 2007 or so. | ||

Nice work. You will need a cross piece as well as trying to recover these cross pieces normally ends in the customer recalling you to the job within the next 6 months. (the bearing seal is in the correct way, its not possilble to put the seal in the incorrect way!) good luck | ||
