I love the way it goes into its spin cycles although it seems poor at pumping out water while it is spinning. Just a shame the 1400 is only for a short time. It needs a new door boot as it sometimes lets water out from the door and I'm not sure if the pump is getting ready to fail.
Hope you enjoy S :)

That clip is part of the plastic version of the pecker assembly. The pecker is a device mounted on the motor and linked by a Bowden cable to the door switch. It is a safety device to stop you opening the door when the drum is turning. CLICK HERE TO GO TO fido's LINK | ||

Hotpoints sometimes came with a selection of spares rattling about in the bottom. If the assembly workers dropped anything small they just left it in there. | ||

poor pumping could be the filter in the sump hose needing cleaned a common fault on these old hotpoints | ||

you're right about it being from 1991 as it's the 1st Aquarius version of it, and it's a jolly nice nice Hottie too. The serial number is inside the door so if u can supply it I can work out the date code so I can determine when it was made. :) | ||

MicroProfile
Another classic find Steve, lovely condition, does the spin speed indicator still rise up and down with the profile spin?
Interesting how the outer tub is the similar colour of the accents, which stem from the first Hotpoint top loaders accents!! Check that pump housing, has a trap like the Servis which often gets clogged with lint and fibres etc. | ||

Thanks guys for the comments - it was a great find and in pretty good nick for its age.
I took the lid off again for a quick look but will need to take the back off for a proper look at the pecker assembly. What I did notice as that as well as the Bowden cable, there is a hose attached to the door lock presumably to stop you opening the door when it's full of water - seems a bit over engineered! Hopefully the clip is a left over production mishap. I had checked the filter and it had a few obligatory buttons and shirt collar inserts but not enough to restrict flow. Having used the machine a few times over the weekend I'm guessing it is just the way it is. You get a kind of staggered noise when it first starts which I'm sure I've heard on other machines and the it's fine. When it spins the flow only dribbles out even though you see it streaming down the door but as soon as the drum slows then it pumps out normally. It just seems a bit odd that the designers didn't make the spins a bit shorter to let the water pump out in between the 3 spins during each rinse. I will check the pump though in case there is anything stuck on the impeller. I'm not sure if this has out of balance sensing. It might have on the final spin as it does seem to take some time distributing and doesn't always do the full 1400 super spin but there is no mention of this in the user book. Alan - I've checked round the door but there is no serial number and no sign of one so it might of dropped off. I thought it was the number on the top of the rating plate. Mike - I love the colour of the tub. Yes it has the graphic equaliser spin indicator. Here's another pic but it is hard getting the camera to focus on this due to its brightness so it's a bit blurred. S :)

More pics
I think you are right Al. I have taken a picture of the drum and you cannot see the outer tub at all. I've just accepted a new offer on the house so hopefully in the next one I'll be able to set the machines up together. The two hotpoints are definitely my favourites. Craig - just keep your eyes peeled - I'm sure there is one out there with your name on it.
James you have such eagle eyes. I hadn't noticed but you are right it is a different button as it doesn't have the edge detail either of the other two. The machine appears to be newer than I first thought as the date on the drum is 12-92. I must get round to doing some videos - I have some of the other machines but have not yet got round to setting up a you tube account. Just not enough hours in the days! Hi Phil. Here are some more pictures from the back

I suppose it must have the smaller capacity drum used on the washer dryers. Perhaps 1400 was just too much for the standard 95 series drum. I remember the 1200 machines were less reliable than the 1000s as they tended to shake themselves to pieces. | ||

Hi Paul
That is how it was when I got it. Really great inside. It has the snapped side trim of course on one side and a few chips and scratches but overall it seems great - no rust at all. Did you find a paint colour for the almond machines? I seem to remember a post somewhere but can't find it now. I was using it at the weekend and there seems to be a loose connection on the control panel display as it went off a couple of times when the machine was spinning. I could really do with some service info so I can get in the front panel as I'm scared I might break something knowing how brittle the plastic can be on these hotpoints. I've not been able to find any online so if you know of the existence of any then I'll beg to get my hands on a copy Also, I am convinced it has out of balance sensing as sometimes it goes straight into a spin and other times it keeps distributing. I was doing some bedding in it and it only did 800 for the final spin instead of the 1400! It must be an early version of it for Hotpoint as it's not great at guessing when it spin or skip! | ||

Lovely machine.
Scan of the microtronic de luxe service information models 9555,4,1,0 and 95840,2 The out of balance is a micro switch fixed onto to the suspension unit, your model may of course have different arrangements, it may even be part of the programming too monitor the tacho, out of balance would generate an uneven feed back…

Hi Lee
No sign of a micro switch on the suspension but it definitely has some form of balance monitoring for the final spin. Not noticed it on the intermediate spins though. I reckon it is on the tacho but as I said earlier, there is no mention of this feature in the user instructions. Oh to get my hands on the service information. The display going off was getting worse so I thought I'd give taking the front panel off a try even though I was nervous in case I broke the plastic. Turns out it's quite easy - just undo the 4 screws behind the detergent dispenser and it the slides to the left and you can disconnect the wires. Here are a few more pics.

I gave it all a good clean and the display is so much brighter and clearer now and is staying on. There is a bit of rust by the dispenser that I'll have to sort but not bad at all considering its age.
Here's the back of the board before I realised how to disconnect it while it is still in the facia duh! S :)

I think I know when it was made, the tub sticker has a date of December 1992 so lets just go for that shall we? :) | ||
