but after i pick up all the dead leaves, I'm going to attach a new drain hose to the pump (the bottom of the machine is quite shiny and clean), follow AW members' advice and fill it with hot water, probably some Mexican phosphate detergent and then let 'er rip. Will let y'all know what happens. Look at the measuring guide on the dispenser! Yeah, I'll use two cups.

What year indeed???
I have no idea what year this was made. I'm about to go downstairs and do a maiden wash and I'll post the model and serial numbers asap. I'm guessing by the similar blue colors that it is a 1961 model, a more BOL version of the mate to Jetcone's beautiful turquoise and black dryer. Is that a '61? But wouldn't all machines have safety lid switches by then?? and Robyn, thank you again for posting those Hotpoint catalogues. 'Points rule!

RESET
The reset button, I believe, resets the motor should it overload from either strain from too much laundry or a wild ride with an unbalanced load. Robert and Greg will know this for sure. I'm thinking that's what was listed on the schematic diagram as the "kick-out switch". Will have to review. Most importantly, the reset button is one of those details that means you have a real Taylor Avenue factory-made Hotpoint and not a GE clone. I'm still pinching myself, these machines just don't seem to show up anywhere.

RESET is for when a motor overload would occur. Sudz-Lock comes to mind, or a binding part somewhere. | ||

Ooops. My bad. I figured an unbalance would bump the timer dial to shut it down. So the overload protector must be built right into the motor? | ||
