Hi all, Some of you may know that my first attempt at repairing this machine failed but I'm not one to give up that easily! Over the weeks I've been accumulating new parts for it and during the long weekend, the rebuild took place. | ||

I really admire the mechanics of this type of machine. It simple yet robust.

Well done James - I'm looking forward to the end result for this after all your hard work.
I sorted the shed out a bit more over the weekend so here's a pic of my 15792 (next to the 9605 and the 96702 hiding in the box). It needs a service as the brake makes a terrible squealing noise when it is washing as it is not holding the tub in place. S :)

Excellent
Well done James on bringing this lovely machine up again, this series of Hotpoints are my favourite machine by them, as you say simple but well engineered and very purposeful.
I hope it is a real pleasure for you BTW I would have the rubber hose into the sink its great to see what comes out and you get the great smell of the washing powder plus your sink drain will be kept clean. | ||

Thanks everyone for your lovely comments! I am getting so much joy out of this machine. Here she is pushed in and hooked up ready for work. The drain hose is just right. James.
