The lid needs reprayed for sure but this is a common thing.

Hey James
Congratulations! Last year I got a 96700 made in 1984! I love it! Is this your first experience with one of these? It sounds like you certainly know what you're doing. If you have any questions, I probably wouldn't know the answer, but the other forum members are so knowledgeable. Thanks to Sesteve, I was able to disable the agitate-while-filling on my particular machine. I am sure you are going to have a lot of fun with it! Mark | ||

Hi James
I found the photos from when I carried out the seal repair on the 9605 - I should have taken more but I did this in the small shed in the old house. I got the bowl out but could not get the bowl support to shift so I took off the outer tub which gave me better access - might be worth you doing the same if you can. I've noticed that the drain hose on your machine looks like the arrangement on the 1509/10 as my 15792 has a plastic hose connected directly to the pump. Good luck with the repair - take plenty of photos if you can. Cheers S | ||

Hello James yet again you have turned up a great machine (my favourite Hotpoint)..........you will have to have your best thinking cap on to sort out the few problems with this one, if you have snapped the bolts and do get them out replace them with Stainless Steel ones. Once you get to them the seals are easy to do.
Once working these are great washers, if you have cold fill only your load will get a long soak before it reaches temperature and then get washed. But enjoy it and well done Gary | ||

hi James.
I sympathise with you. They are such a sod to get off. I struggled to get my 3 legged puller to secure onto the tripod but I fixed it on between the drive nut arms and it eventually managed to shift with the blow torch and increasing pressure on the puller. Trouble was I didn't have a nut to protect the top of the drive shaft so was using washers balanced on it and the puller kept falling off. Still perseverance paid off in the end.- I've attached a link to the type I used - is yours the same? I didn't do anything to the gearbox so would be great to see some pics on how you get on. Keep up the good work S :) CLICK HERE TO GO TO sesteve's LINK | ||
