Hotpoint shots...... Back of the dashboard. New 12 gauge range wiring and new Robert Shaw thermostats. What you don't see here is the heat resistant terminals. I installed them later. newly rebuilt timer by Mid American timers. Heat resistant dielectric lube by Caig labs was used on timer switches.

Hotpoint shots...... A side view of the dashboard internals. Notice the new thermostats. The shafts were not cut down to size yet. To the lower left you can see the front of an LED replacement bulb. All dashboard lights were replaced with LED's.

Great Job Looks great, ready to serve your for a huge Thanksgiving meal. Thanks for sharing, I had a 61 Hotpoint wall oven and cooktop in Pink in the house I grew up in, and learned to cook on them, so I have a soft spot in my heart for the Hotpoints! | ||

Looks great! Plus you have a REAL vent fan. We had one in our 50's FL house and I still miss it. Even my super-dupper-wizz-bang cost big bucks hood doesn't do the same job as those do. | ||

Pink with envy Great job! Those ovens are so great and put anything that's on the market today to shame. Is that rotisserie actually built to accommodate the spit at two different levels?!Q?? I always thought it was smart for Hotpoint to offer two different sized ovens on their double-oven models.
You need to put that frozen pizza in the bottom oven to defrost, go to an expensive butcher and get an 8-lb. bottom-round rotisserie roast tied with a 1/2" fat cap. Do that beautiful appliance proud. | ||

Answer for Bajaespuma Yes, The rotisserie has two levels to accommodate different size items. I'll do my best to make this appliance live up to it's potential. Happy Thanksgiving !!!!!!! | ||

Yes, your COOK TOP, "Customline"...! What Brand?
Thank you for showing off this neat little project, CUSTOM LINE!
I remember a house my mom, sister & I babysat at having a single built-in HOTPOINT oven in pink & somehow NO cooktop, which has me wondering: What make is yours? The house had an Admiral top freezer fridge, a Montgomery Ward MENU MAGIC gas range (which got used instead of the oven) and an unused Frigidaire double-oven (large self cleaning & small "Tender Matic") 40" Custom Imperial electric range (with a broken knob, which one of you guys could probably easily fix; it fell of its bracket behind the plexi-glass) shoved up against a wall in a dining area part of the kitchen (which had no chairs or table, just used for storage; it was a big kitchen)... -- Dave | ||

Fantastic!! If you love Hotpoint, you need to come to Mocksville for a visit, Our local Furniture store has been a Hotpoint dealer since 1949, and any stove he gets in on trade that is old, he keeps!!! He has a building full of old stoves and old cars!! | ||

heres a couple of pics. ill need to repaint the door unfortunately, our kitchen is turquoise. Im missing the crown emblem too.. I never really paid attention to these Hotpoints but theyre fantastic! Awesome 50s industrial style. Kind of like the old air cooled 911's, everybody was looking for the next improvement, now theyre realizing those were the best and theyre untouchable now! It'll probably be awhile before we can tackle this project, but will keep updating, and any help with install etc is greatly appreciated, no better advice on the interweb! ;)

Well.. I need a lightbulb, a cover or screen over that lightbulb if there's supposed to be one. The button to push that turns the lightbulb on. The weather stripping that goes around the door to create the seal when you shut it. A whole bunch of things seem to be missing from it. | ||

Glad to help out The door cable is probably worn on this unit. Replacement thermostats are easy to be had for this unit. I recommend the Robert Shaw thermostat. | ||

Broken door hinge?
Hi, do you think the door hinges broken or does the door open and close fine but just seems very heavy and maybe doesn’t close is tightly?
I might have some door hinge parts available. If you can take it apart and find a broken Part and post a picture of it. The most likely thing to break on this hinge and counterbalance system is the cable or possibly the door, spring itself and investigation will be necessary to see what you really need. John. | ||

You could consider..... fashioning your own door spring. Save the pivot end or "floating end" of your original spring and attach it to a new 6 inch spring. Your two wire cables are still OK right ? | ||

Wiring schematic..... Did you put everything back together following the original wiring schematic ? It's on the back of your '60's Hotpoint oven. The black handles and door glass design is indicative of an early to mid '60's unit. | ||
