Excellent find James, and a great first auto washer/dryer, always use the spinner for maximum extraction , you dont want mega bills!!
Can you whip the lid off (after switching off at mains and pulling the plug out) and take a pic of the workings please?? would like to see whats changed from the first blower condensers etc.. Cheers, Mike |

The condenser. The novel idea that I found out today was that everytime the machine filled for rinse is that a secondary jet flushed the condenser! So that's why they recommended in the handbook to put the machine through rinse & spin once every so often. |

Great photos James, you can deffo see the size of the drum is larger than the original 9900 series made from enamel.... the condenser unit has changed a lot...
Heres a fun one, I attended a Hotpoint Trade Show last year and on the stand was a new product merchandiser, they had three exhibits for a raffle and where asking everyone to "Guess" what the items where, well I looked at one and said " Original Hotpoint 9900 series heater unit form a washer dryer" to which our account manager who was hidden behind the stand shouted "OMG Thats gorra Be Mike King - No one else could possibly know that" ...LOl This post was last edited 10/17/2011 at 14:46 |

Induction as fitted to all post 80's washer/dryers. Hence the capacitor. The brush motors on the pre 90's machines were very noisy and unreliable. |
