James! Congratulations! I have just got the 2nd of my 3 childhood machines, there is nothing quite like the feeling of finding something that is so familiar after a good few years!

Yes I love the spin sequence on this! Pulse spin makes better use of time! James. | ||

WD22
SupermaticJames,
My Grandma had a Hotpoint Aquarius 1000 Washer Dryer WD22 from 03rd Jan 2003, after the demise of her Indesit 850W, up until Oct/Nov 2008. After the bearings went, on the Indesit, I put my foot down, after 09 yrs of constant troubles with the 850W, I gave Grandma 02 options, I'd seen our WD22 reconned in our local 02nd hand shop, Coopers Electrical, then saw it up for sale, for £80, the Aquarius was option 01, option 02, was a Zanussi JetSystem 1600 Washer Dryer WJD1667W, which, 'sironically, I now own (as of Oct 2008), she opted for the WD22, as the JetSystem, was retailing at £450, at the time we were on the hunt. She had it for 03 yrs, before handing over to the carera of my Grandpa, whose laundry was frequently lost at the launderette, infuriating to his carers, it'd blown her main house electrics fuse numerous times, when unbalanced, it tended to jump, which then tripped the switch. Me, being the only one with the most know how & know to, in the fam, set it up & provided the carers with all the necessary info, & always left it set up for the carers, upon each visit (always finding the super rinse option deselected, after me having selected it), on the next visit. When Coopers first delivered the WD22 to Grandma, even after a demo from me, she still managed to break it on her first use > she pulled the wash knob out to switch it on, selected the drying time & pulled the knob off the machine, she learnt after that incident ;). Sadly, after my Grandpa passed on in late April 2007, it ended up in storage, in Grandma's friend's garage, I was planning on keeping it as part of the start up to my collection, but when I happened across my JetSystem, my Mum pretty much forced both Grandma & I to sell the Aquarius. The people who bought it, came from the local vicinity, where I bought my JetSystem, 'sironic really. I noticed the pulse spin function on this machine, which rather intrigued me, until I found out the functionality of it, via a Hotpoint brochure. I assume it's something to do with the GEC motor? I only ask, because, I think that Hotpoint used the idea off Servis, because my Servis Sapphire 1300 Washer Dryer 9635, also uses the pulse spin function with the 20 sec burst at 1300RPM. I've currently also, got a Hotpoint Ultima 9566, which also has the Pulse Spin too. When we did finally sell the WD22, we got £40 for it. Does yours have the deep, or shallow rim drum? Ours also, had a vent that hung down into the drum aperture, rather than the vent being integrated into the door seal, like most, maybe you could post a pic of the drum aperture for clarification, face onto the machine, rather than from above? See link below & reply 78 for an example, of my Ultima 9566. www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/T... I also, created a replica for the WD22, see Reply 62. (Dryer dial differs slightly). www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/T... Link attached to a combo vid of the Long Spin Dry 1000 & Short spin Dry 500. Pic attached, a similar copy of our Hotpoint Aquarius 1000 Washer Dryer WD22. CJ CLICK HERE TO GO TO HooverZanMiele's LINK
