sort of like watching grass grow, only with dirty clothes, a lot of water and an old bakelite agitator. The sound is very exaggerated; the machine is actually pretty quiet

It's one of the few machines(Frigidaires also)where I don't feel the need for an extra rinse. The overflow rinse is sort of peculiar; I imagine it was a lot more useful when our mothers and grandmothers were using soap rather than detergent.

I used to love taking the cabinet top off of the Filter-flo's to watch the cycle progress. With the GE's there was an ocean of water in the outer tub. Here, everything's contained in the solid tub. I wonder what CU would say about these now that water usage is an issue.

Can't tell whether there's a tub brake or not. Hard to tell when the spin cycle stops, but the tub comes to a standstill within 15 seconds.

Third day. I've successfully removed the OE bakelite agitator and replaced it with the aqua fountain filter spiral agitator. It works just like I remembered it from 30 years ago, but I don't have the internal parts for the fountain filter to work.

at this point I'm learning that the machine is not going into the final spin without a push.

If that one is a fluid drive model,all you have to do is either adjust it or add some oil to the unit. |

Ken you definitely have clutch pad issues. Do you have a repair manual for that machine? The clutch pads are located inside the clutch which is embedded in the big pulley under the washer above the cross-brace. If Larry doesn't have any more clutch shoes for that machine you can do what I've done in both my 1st Philco and ABC-o-Matic. Get some new GE clutch shoes and with a razor blade shear off the pads and use some JB weld to bond the new GE pads on the Hotpoint's shoes. Co-axial style Hotpoint washers should come up to full spin speed in about 45 seconds.

Thank you!
Do any of you have a repair manual for this machine that I can borrow or buy? What's weird is that the machine does go into a full spin in about 45 seconds after the main wash, although I haven't tried it on SLOW yet. It's always after the rinse for the second spin that the motor engages, but the tub just sits there. |

"Is there a chance that a small amount of water is leaking once it is spun into the outer cabinet and some how making it down onto the clutch pads?"
There has been, in fact, a "piddle" on the floor when the cycle is over each time I've run it. I've looked for the source with a flashlight, but haven't found it. Which may explain why it only happens on the 2nd spin. You're good at this. |

Ken, it also could be caused by a small oil leak. Here is 30mb worth of delicious Sunday reading for you:
1961 Hotpoint Automatic Washer Service Manual, oh and I love this part... We need to collect this information for all vintage brands and figure out a place to make them accessible on the site. |

We had the model simular to the lw125 except ours had a water temp button with hot and warm next to the dial. I didnt realize they made so many models. I did know about the command control model but never realized so many in between. Does anyone have a full line brochures they would like to post. Also our very first one was in the most wanted section of the club with the removeable lid.
Thanks, Peter |
