First a bit of a leak so had to strip down and refit door seal, then several attempts to sort the water level to an adequate level just below the door so if it is opened no flooding. Then the blood camera seems to have lost all the photos except 2, new camera next I think. First photo of everything back to together.

Hotpoint 18680
Second photo, taken at the end of the first heat section of program 2, 60c, I waited till the thermo stop device kicked in (works in reverse on this machine compared to other machines) Reached 56.8c on the digital thermometer, Only reached 56.9c after the last timed heat cycle, not bad. First interim spin and no banging, I did not know that it would spin at top speed and boy dose she fly, there is some grunt it that motor. So will have to do some more photos in a week or so.

Leaks, Is it possible that your leaks were caused by your machine not having the securing flanges around the outside of the door seal to fix them more permanently to the cabinet, Do you have them? If you dont then you may not know you need them. THe flange is a black rim of plastic that screws into the 2 holes above and 2 holes below the door seal. You can just make ours out......

Hotpoint 18680
Hi, Yes I have them, the leak was on the tub, I forgot to use some washing up liquid when fitting, it dose help seat the rubber. I’m trying to get some new lugs which fit in the back of the front panel to which the screws fit to hold the trims on, they are only to stop the seal front lip from being pulled off. | ||

Hello
I have the 18680 which is one of the machines I have always wanted. Also have the 95622 which I had really as an fill in for not having 18 ser machine. Then there is the wm63 for the project which I will go back to now the 18680 is up and running. Dare not have any more as living with the oldies at the moment and no room, would like to find Hotpoint Liberator. | ||

Will do
Some photos of the next load and put the 95622 by her side, hopefully the painters will have finished the out side of the garage by tomorrow, they think I’m a bit wired as the 3 machines are covered with dust sheets and I told them if a speck of paint or dust gets on them there will be trouble. Dad’s reply to that was it could be sorted with a skip!! | ||
