Hi Guys

Recently came across these pictures of a Hotpoint/Zanussi Breed Liberator Model 1826 which I had.

Enjoy

Mark

Cheers for posting these Mark.

The top picture is the one I stumbled across, I think, on the Hotpoint Home Laundry site (before the files got cleared out).

I see what you mean about her being a bit rusty in her final days, but nevertheless the classic 70's purple still shone through.

Excellent detailed shots - will have to update my Hotpoint spreadsheet now I can see what the options buttons were for (always a mystery previously on the 1826).

Many thanks
Paul

Me again.

whilst putting together my spreadsheet, I discovered listed a Hotpoint 1824. Does anyone have any ideas as to the style of this machine.

It sits between the cold fill only, Zanussi style 1823 and the 1826 shown above. I know also that it was a Hot and Cold machine, with 800rpm spin and listed around the 1978/79 period.
Was this a further Zanussi style, or Hotpoint style Liberator? Or something else?

I have attached the Liberator part of the spreadsheet, so people can see where I am at (the machines and spaces highlighted in red are the unknown entities).

Any help - much appreciated.
Cheers
Paul

One from my childhood

robm's profile picture
God this takes me back. 3 of my neighbours in the 70s had this machine (one being the clear door Electra version). I remember it spun at about 400rpm and had an induction motor. I seem to remember it being more stable than the Indesit machines which shook all over the place. I remember always wishing it would spin faster.

I wonder how many of these are still about?

Paul - I was under the impression only the slower spinning machines were made by Zanussi and the rest by Hotpoint.

Hi Rob.

That is my understanding too.

The slow 1823 and 1826 were definately Zanussi's, with the remainder being 'proper' Liberators.
That would insinuate that the 1824 was a Hotpoint machine, with it having an 800rpm spin. Just don't know for sure.


Here is the GL2 from the Electricity Board Shop - I wonder if Zanussi expected to make quite so many clones. Question - whats with the bit cut out where the buttons should be? was it one big button? a door hiding buttons? If anyone knows can they let me know.

Cheers
Paul

Slow Spins.....

chestermikeuk's profile picture
And by all accounts a very popular machine by price!!! my friends mum had the zanussi GL2, she replaced an English Electric Wash n Rinse and a Creda Spinner with pump, blue/white one...kept the dryer because of the spin.....always remember the very large dial and an even larger ribbed outlet hose, it was huge by todays standards...such a quiet machine...she bought it from a branch of McConomy...anyone remember that one.....dont suppose you do, I`ve already been told I`m older than most of your dads...LOl...

Electra GL2

seamusuk's profile picture
Hey Guys

One of my aunties had one of these when I was a kid- teamed with a Creda 275 compact tumble dryer. I believe the big button has a pic of a stained shirt so must havee been intensive/bio??

A primary school friends mum had an Electrolux version with a dark brown? facia, I seem to remember WH something being the model??- this resided on a trolley and was wheeled to the sink for use.

Note the 155L water consumption! even my Hoover CC1100 at 134L cant match that lol!!

Liberator 1824

Hey Guys

According to Merloni Partfinder this was a "proper" Liberator. The later brown version was the 18580

Hi Seamus!

The above Liberator 1826 was amazing with regards to the rinse water level. It beat Hoover hands down.....It was 3/4 up the door!!!!

Hi Seamus

That is one BIG option button on the GL2. I always wondered whether it was a flap (admittedly a very fragile one) which came down, revealing two buttons or so. Basically a bit of aesthetic (spelt right?) design to produce a smooth facia.

Cheers for the info on the 1824 - have to say I am confused though! I always thought that the forerunner of the 18580 variable was the 1848 - see piccy (you can see an 1848 on Tim Hunkins 'Secret Life of Washing Machines' when he uses one to show what happens if you dont have a concrete block, but you do have an unbalanced load).

Could it be that the 1848 was first, then briefly replaced by the 1824, then replaced by the 18580? Any ideas guys?

Cheers
Paul
p.s I think I snatched the 1848 image from Rob's photo library - hope it was OK to use!

Hi there. I had forgotten I had this information. I had a bit of time and scanned a few prints for the Hotpoint Service manual I had with the 18580. Here they are.

Just 1 thing: It's not a real Hotpoint Liberator lol! It's a Zanussi! but I love the purple colour scheme though. I bet that model does anti-clockwise spin just like the Zanussi would. The service manual makes interesting and fascinating reading. I quite like to know about the export models that is mentioned on page 2 of the manual. I wonder 2 things, what other brands it was sold as and where?

Still, I love these models, I remember my Aunty having one, used to be scared of it lol, but now I'm not!

Brilliant stuff Rob .....

...many thanks for posting all the info.

It is absolutely superb and I will probably be spending tomorrow poring over it trying to decipher what was based on what, what repleced what and what had what features, amongst other things.

The facia diagrams are excellent!

It seems that every week or so I learn something new and it is thoroughly entertaining. I had no idea that there were 'two button' only liberators. I had always thought that there were only two basic types - the familiar 1828 type machine (4 buttons - non variable) and the 1848 type machines (4 buttons - variable spin), and that the two button machines were introduced when the Liberatoresques came along, replacing the purple/violet.

Hopefully, by the time I have deciphered all the info, lots of the red squares on my spreadsheet will disappear.

Once again Rob, thanks for posting the info and acknowledgement for the 1848 piccy to Mike (cheers for letting me know Rob).

All the best.
Paul

The 1828/02

robm's profile picture
No problems at all sharing this, always glad to help out.

Here is my pic. I've worked out it must be the 1828/02 introducted in 1978. A slightly different door from the 1848 (introduced the same year) and the dial and buttons have wording instead of symbols.

Rob

Well - its updated

Morning Rob.

I concour with yu on the 1828 above - I have since corrected it to 1828/02 myself.

I really do love the 1828 and its a shame that there don't appear to be any about anymore. It seems that my two greatest laundry loves - matchboxes and purple liberators - were hit really badly by the changeover to the throwaway society. Are we ever likely to see them again - fingers crossed. Maybe one day.

Anyway, thanks to your info the Liberators appear to be pretty much sussed. Although, as some mysteries are solved others arise. I stumbled across a pdf Design magazine from 1973, with a brief description of the then new Liberator series from Hotpoint.
The initial series was described as models 1830!...ummm, 1840!...ummm, 1850 (quickly repleced by the 1851 - no idea what the differences were), 1508 toploader and 1701 dryer.
It states that only models 1840 and 1850 are stacking compatible with the 1701, which leads me to believe that model 1830 could have been a compact.

The only other info needed is confirmation of month/year of introduction for some of the models and the rpm and button details for models 1850 and 1851.

All in all I am really pleased and appreciative.
Cheers.
Paul
p.s on the bottom it mentions about export models - what other countries were these machines sold in? any ideas?

and the Liberatoresques

Again the only mysteries are confirmation of month/year of introduction and also some trim colours for certain models.

The silver facia machines are all sussed.
But then there was the next colour scheme introduced - brown facia with grey edging - see the 18361 (below left)
&
then all brown - see the 18381 (below right)

OMG! It seems incredible like my Grandma's first washer!

Of course! Those beautifull purple/pink chromas seem incredible to me like my Grandma's first washing machine... and it was not a Hotpoint but a Sangiorgio.

My Nanna was one of the first woman in her little town to own a washing machine...it was in the 1968, when she retired from working and felt too tired to go on doing the wash by hand and decided to buy a machine very very like you posted in the pics above! One shining big knob and one or two pink pushbuttons...very very easy to use for her!!! :-))

Then in the 1992 (yes it lasted so long!!) we gave it away but mom wanted a Sangiorgio again (Sangiorgio TEMA Export 9)... this was even because when she got married in the 1981 she bought a Sangiorgio too like her mother, the same Sangiorgio that is stil working in the basemente and which is the one I grew up with.

I still have saved from crashing that purple lid of Nana's first washing machine...no other parts apart from some remembers...
Lastly I remember it leak awfully from the outer tub and that was why we decided to buy a new one instead of fixing the old.

How many sudsy washing cycle...ah! The bio cycle lasted for ever!!! Hours and hours... and the temp wasvery very high!! sometimes you coul thint it was stil boiling!LOL

BYE!

I mentioned a mystery machine.....

in the 1973 design magazine listings - the model 1830.

Either Hotpoint span them a yarn (wanting to shift some theoretically obsolete models) or the writers got their wires crossed.

Model 1830 was definately not compatible with the Liberator dryer, for it was a second generation retrim of Hotpoints stunning model 1600 (the 1100rpm machine) which, I am sure, would sell for a small fortune if one appeared on ebay today.

Suddenly realising this got me thinking a bit (always a dangerous thing).
I have two colour shots of this style of machine but both look different.

The left hand shot is from the 1972 GEC Appliances brochure, which shows Hotpoint, English Electric and Morphy Richards stuff. The 1600 (and it definately is a 1600) shown here has a purely silver/metallic finish to doors and trim - no doubt about it, it is a 1600.

The second image is the superb shot, I think provided courtesy of Mike (apologies if wrong), which has been on the forum before. This shows a machine with a very light violet/mauve hue to it. I seem to remember others saying they thought it had purpley glass in the door.

The drawing is taken from a 1974 Which magazine and is of an 1830.

Am after opinions here - could the second image actually be a picture of a Liberatorised 1600 and, in actual fact be the 1973 model 1830?
Or is it simply the lighting conditions in the picture playing tricks with the silver door? Not being an avid photographer, I have no idea about such things.

Any ideas?
Cheers
Paul

The Electra GL2

We had one of these when I was growing up!!!
First auto in the family!!!!
This had EXACTLY the same programmes of the Hotpoint liberator, picutred and also an old Zanussi. (Check below the URL for more details of the instruction booklet I came across but did only have, according to the manual, 520rpmspin speed. Rinse level half way up the door and the "Dirty shirt" button changed all the synthetic programmes from short wash/ long pause agitation to long wash/short pause.... exaxtly the same as the cottons programmes. It made NO difference to the cottons programmes at all! (i know, I spent most of my weekends watching lol!!!)
Fab machine and loved the programmes!!!

Goodness me, young man! :-) However, I can see your (Hot)point…! hehe :-)

Oh, and hi, Matt :-) – I’ll hopefully see you later! :-) Hi to everyone else, too! :-)

I was quite happily reading through this thread all innocently… and then what happens…?! ;-)

Please, someone, tell me I haven’t said anything smutty in this message! :-)

Lots of very interesting pictures and information here, guys – thank you. :-) I’ve needed to brush up (a pun!) on my Liberator knowledge for quite some time. :-)

Take care. :-)

Just noticed on your Hotpoint spreadsheet you have the spin speeds of the 18880 in a red box. I can let you get rid of another red box because my 18880 is a 800/500 spin speed machine.
I can only let you take my word for it as I havn't seen it written anywhere but it definately sounds like and looks like 800 when spinning. It dosen't have that slightly higher pitched sound to the 1000 spin Hotpoints of the time.

Hope that helps

Also forgot to say that the 18880 maybe a "Brown" series but not sure. The fascia surround is brown but it has a silver transfer where the buttons are and also it has a chrome door so I guess not really sure if thats a brown or silver.

Sorry if thats confusing.

The back plate on the drum has 1981 stamped on it if that helps towards dating the 18880.

Spins

Keep filling in those sheets, you`re doing a grand job Paul!!!
I wondered about the 1600,was it ever purple or was it a colour tint on the page etc, found this one the other day...Is that Radiant Powder in the sink cupboard??

Mark, what model is your machine?? your machine might be one of the first production models with the 800 rpm spin, it changed later in 1982.

Here are the spin speeds, a little more to add..

18780 Microtronic X2000, 1980, 800 spin,
changed to 1000rpm in 1982

18880 Microtronic X2000, 1982, 1000rpm

18871 Microtronic LE White, 1983, Best Buy Model, 800rpm

18872 Microtronic LE Almond,1984, 800rpm

18873 Microtronic LE (Comet Exclusive)1985, 1000rpm

Hi Mike

Its an 18880 according to the rating sticker on the back. It definately dosen't look or sound 1000 rpm. I have been wondering though that the rpms on wash seem slightly too slow. Maybe its a problem with the motor and the tacho needs looking at? Would it affect the spin that much? Otherwise im confused.

18880

One thing I remembered though is that it is fitted with 3 leg suspension rather than 2. Dosn't seem to have a date code on the rating sticker though as was trying to date it with the information Rob scanned in.

How do Guys - have just got back from work and have been looking forward to seeing if this thread has progressed any further - superb that it has.

Mark - cheers for flagging up the 18371. There appears to be a bit of inconsitency within the official stuff, as it describes 18371 as Electronic de luxe. But pictures prove the point and 18371 is now re-christened on the sheet as Super Electronic.
Your excellent Microtronic definately, as far as I am concerned anyway, falls into the silver category running alongside the 18340, 18380 and 18580. If it has a trace of silver on the facia and, more importantly, a silver door then its a silver-un.
Very fond of the 1701 Liberator dryer - my grandma had one and, when it stopped heating, I was given it as a 'toy' with it living in my dads shed (it replaced a Creda 275 that I was given when I was about four years old). My grandma's machine was older than the one you pictured, as hers stated in plain capital letters 'HOTPOINT LIBERATOR DRYER'. That would date hers to 1973/74 when they were first introduced. The Hotpoint script came along when the 1828/02 replced the 1851, in 1976.

Re: the 1731 E - any ideas what the E stands for?



Mike - where on earth did you stumble across that piccy. Its a difficult one isn't it. There is not a hint of viloet/mauve in the new picture, which would make it definately a 1600. That is so long as the 1830 WAS on the recieving end of a violet attack. If the 1830 wasn't then it cold be an 1830!
Arrrrgggghhhhh.

In the absence of a definate '1830 was purple', I would be inclined to say that the new piccy is of a 1600.

Many thanks for the Microtronic info - very useful and many gaps filled in.



Will post some updated screengrabs shortly, so you can see where things are at.

Just before I do that, anyone any idea of the model and title (probably Super Dryer) of the dryer below. Its the only 1979 silver series machine that I have not identified yet. It is from the front cover of a Hotpoint brochure, the cover and a few pages of which can be found on the Hotpoint Yahoo Group.
With a door like that it would have been a direct, rear rather than door vented, replacement for the 1720 'Home and dry' compact from the Liberator era. Anyone own the brochure who could check?

Screengrabs along shortly - seeing as we are talking dryers, I will post that info as well.

Cheers
Paul

Missing:

1827 - year of introduction
1850 - options details (look on further pages and you will get an idea of the codes)
1851 - what was different over the 1850
1720 - year of introduction and replacement model (the machine shown in the previous post)
1730 - year of introduction

whilst we are at it...what were the two pull switches on the 1600/1830? One was for the door release any idea of the other.

One definately for Mark here - when you have a mo, could you let me know the options buttons, left to right, on your 18880?
That would delete another red square.


The first red square dryer is the silver machine mentioned a few posts ago.

final page

The Liberatoresque dryers are a bit rocky and no idea of how comprehensive the list is, as its all been done through Which listings and stuff I have stumbled across.

This page gives a clearer view of the codings.

Can I take this opportunity to thank all who have helped me update the sheet recently. I would say that in the space of a weekend the Liberator and Liberatoresque sections are at least 25% more complete and a damn site more accurate.

If nothing else comes of it - absloutely no matter. I am thrilled to have gotten this far and my knowledge of the two series has improved leaps and bounds (I had no idea there were two button purple Liberator washers).

Cheers
Paul
p.s it goes onto New Generation - then I draw a big black line - NO FURTHER!

Option buttons on the 18880 are as follows:

It has 3 option buttons on the left which are "Economy" buttons. There is REDUCED RINSES (It does 4 rinses as normal but this cuts it down to 3). ECONOMY LEVEL (This of course is a lower water level). LOWER TEMP (This reduces the temp of the wash but im not sure what to. Im guessing its 40/30 50/40 60/40 85/60 but im not sure).

In the middle are the 4 fascia level push slectors. There is SELECT , START , PREWASH , and CANCEL.

On the right are the 3 "SPECIAL CARE" buttons. They are: SLOW SPIN , BIO POWDER , and RINSE HOLD.

Hello Mark

Thank you so much for taking the time to do that, I know how long and fiddly it can be downloading and scanning pics.

I'm sure many will be appreciative.

Rob

Many thanks for posting Mark.

Have perused all the info and have been able to either correct or add a month to the year of introduction.

The upgrade details for pretty much all the models from the 1507 onwards, stating the differences was extra useful.

Thanks to the help and info offered in this thread, the only area of 'real roughness' on the spreadsheet concerns the Liberatoresque dryers and all twintubs - everything else is pretty well covered. Thats not to say its complete but, from the first BTH Electric washing machine in 1923 to the end of the 1983 New Generation series, I think we have got the history of Hotpoints washers and dryers very well documented in this thread!

Brilliant stuff
Cheers
Paul
p.s below is a machine that never was - would have looked great (in my opinion) - a Liberator Microtronic!

We had the Electra GL2 when I was growing up. The big button in the middle, as Peter said earlier in the thread, had a pic of a stained shirt on it, and made the tumbles on the synthetics cycle longer (had no effect on the cottons cycles).

See this thread for full info:

Fantastic machine - I remember it being quite quiet, stable, and pretty reliable too, as most Zanussi's of that, and 80's era, were.
