I can still remember the part numbers for the gearbox and post nut, the last time I repaired one of these must be over 25 years ago.
PS, Both Hotpoint and Bosch have had major bearing problems with their machines in the past couple of years. |
We had one of those in our shop
I was called out to one that had not been serviced in 20 odd years and both myself and the other engineer could not get one nut to turn on the damn thing
I rather liked the hotpoints with the purple door glass
very retro i'd like to have a matching set tumbler/washer in mint condition for my house.
