My Hotpoint smart tech is currently half disassembled on my kitchen floor as we speak. I've thankfully come across this video and discovered that the tub can't be taken apart to replace the bearings before wasting any more time on it so thanks for that 👍🏻We got 7 years out of ours. Off to the shops for a new one.
Yikes
Yet another Hotpoint with failed bearings! Barely 5 years old, definitely not a quality appliance 😂
they are quality my grandads wmfug has been going since 2014 no issues
my nans hv5l125p has been going since 2013
And my Aquarius lasted 12 years
Sadly happens all the time, I've changed drums on machines from 1 or 2 year old to 20 year old, unfortunately chances are it was overloaded alot and the bearing failed, I've seen the cut them in half videos, not sure how much I'd trust it, the movement in the drum at the front, I'd say the spider has failed too, so don't think cutting it and adding a new bearing would do much, I could be wrong tho. Thanks for the shout out again bud. Yeah 2018 made machine. Who ever owned it could have got a 6 month insurance policy and a new drum fitted for just over a hundred quid.
That's the thing, I wouldn't trust a cut in half video at all. You'd be waiting for it to leak!
@@bootsowenIf you use some good sealant and drill some holes to screw both halfs, it holds nice. Just need to prepare halfs nicely to ensure nice sealing.
All Hotpoints/Indesits in my country have this issue after 2-3 years! 😂 marketplace is full of them
Well that’s the business model, built a cheap machine 😊 and buy replacements more often. Plus despite right to repair, make it awkward and uneconomical to bother.
Sad but true @richardbutler4488
An some of them have drums with very fragile plastic that can break even when just replacing a heating element
I’ve had a few of these they weren’t too bad, mines 2014 model and still alive didn’t die i just changed for a different model, it’s just luck these days you see face book marketplace people selling 1/2yr old machines for spares and repairs 🤣, bekos, vestals, hoovers etc even bosch!
Cut the tub open so we could see what the inner bearing looks like
It is just a shocking Waste Mr.B. .... Right to repair ? ... Yep, parts at over half the price of a new machine.
Ah is that 3 phase motor an inverter motor? Most of those insident machine have them now. The future of hot wiring might be colder 😮
That's the worst state of failed bearings I've ever seen, even thinking of trying to cut it open is not worth it I'd say lol
well these are quite bad but that doesnt really mean it cant take the brick
Agreed terrible quality, you can replace the bearings at around £20 and an awful lot of work.
I found a scrap hotpoint near me u from uk? I’ll see if it’s still there I’ll let you know I’ll give it a spin see if it bearings.👍
It’s at Matlock uk
Bearings me and my friend are going to fix and sell it
if you can find a brush motor that fits we would like to see that take the brick
looks like its not been looked after in its 5 years and i dont want to guess who tried to fix it lol 😆
Sadly there all made now hotpoints so repair guys just take the drum out and put another drum straight in sad part is them drums cost like £175 for a new one... i have the same model machine.. some of theses are good just for spare parts. drum padels, from or machine casing in good condition non rusty. door lock because its an non affected recall model. PCB and more
But in fairness these models above 8kg do last a long time! bearings going is a pain but the rest of machine does last.. they still sell brand new for like £299
my machine has rusted front panel nd the bearings do sound like there going after 3 years. so that annoyed me, but it is insured :) so if eventually dies they just give me a new machine :)
Wanna see a video of that candy!
My Hotpoint is making a rubber noise in the drum, horrendous, I think I buy a new one, not Hotpoint again, big mistake!!
Awful machines
cant u put a good ol' brushed motor and then brik it?
Maybe. But the bearings are so bad that the belt would just fly off.
@@bootsowenoh yes that’s what happened my WMA from late 2007 out of the Hotpoint factory in north wales 🏴 although 16 years wasn’t a bad run wasn’t it 😊
i just saw a youtuber cut the tub open, change bearing and then put it back together with gorilla glue.
I dont know if I could be bothered to faff arounf that much. if the gorilla glue doesnt fully seal, you would have washed a load of time.
You can buy a used working machine for small money. I reckon that the risk of a leak outstrips any benefit.
Utter crap quality, if not made in china there rubbish parts end up in the same machines.
If you want crap, buy a low end Beko, it won't last.
Yes see if you can carefully split the drum, a chance to see if its possible.
No you need a Z list own brand thing, Owen done a bricking on one of them, it didn’t last a trow 😂 Best of luck sawing a drum open, doing the replace and fooling around with sealant to get the drum back together 😊 The leak is highly possible 😅
I’ve asko
That’s Hotpoint for you. Worst machines on market
Nah my hotpoint lasted 12 yrs quality not "worst machines " u haven't seen worst machines trust me
