Thanks Thanks, I downloaded the manual, however it did not include my model 10-mc24, but it does include what I need to put her back together. I will post some more pics and updates later ~SW | ||

I would love to see more pics.
I have only had one impeller machine and that was a Mobile Maid years ago. It developed a leak and I gave it away. I wish I hadn't done that.
I love the look of these Hotpoint machines. Especially the later models that had each rack operate independently of each other. They look like they are so well made and fun to load. I don't know if I'd want one for my daily driver but from what I have read these machines were highly rated in their day. | ||

Parents owned and I operated 53-56 impeller Hotpoints. Worked well. In those days, prerinsing was assumed. I still do it now. In those days, detergents had phosphates and there was no such thing as additives or need for them.
I'm 92% certain, and one manual confirms, a standalone drain pump. Absolutely could hot have been gravity, as they had siphon breaks at countertop level. | ||

Some local codes require siphon breaks or backflow valves on all water feeds, including garden faucets, excluding sinks and tubs. Austin was like that but surrounding towns were not, even in the same county.
The siphon break I was referring to was mounted on the sink, where you might find a hand sprayer. It gurgled during draining. | ||

Backflow
I had to learn about all this when I was putting in my sprinkler system. They told me that local codes require them between the sprinkler system and the water supply. They said it could syphon chemicals in from the grass and contaminate the water supply. I also thought it seemed hard to believe but they said it was required (and not cheap I might add!!!).
The plumber told me that in our city in Arkansas they were beginning to require them between the house and water supply for every new home being built. My house doesn't require it because it was built in 1970. I didn't know they had them inside the house as well. | ||
