How old is my HOTPOINT washer?

1. Find the rating label: Top-load models: under the lid near the right hinge, or on the outside (back of the control panel, lower left corner, or rear near the water hoses). Front-load models: on the face of the wash compartment inside the door, or low on the outside right side near the front.
2. Take a photo of the whole label, or note the model and serial numbers.
3. Check it on Appliance Age. It is free, and no account is needed.

Top-load models: under the lid near the right hinge, or on the outside (back of the control panel, lower left corner, or rear near the water hoses). Front-load models: on the face of the wash compartment inside the door, or low on the outside right side near the front.

Keep the model, serial and any separate production code or printed date together. Not every serial number contains a publicly decodable date.

Use the format that belongs to this product family. A printed production date, a supported serial code or manufacturer confirmation can establish the age. Repeating year codes may leave more than one possible year; a model-series introduction date helps narrow the range but does not date your individual unit.

Washers typically last 10 to 13 years. Use, water quality and maintenance matter more than the brand. Replace rubber fill hoses with braided steel ones and leave a front-loader door open to dry between loads.

Parts that wear out most often on washers:

• Drain pump
• Door or lid switch
• Inlet hoses
• Drive belt
• Door boot seal
• Shock absorbers

Have the model number from the rating label ready so the parts fit.

Every HOTPOINT check is compared with Health Canada, U.S. CPSC and U.S. NHTSA recall notices.

Questions

Where is the serial number on a HOTPOINT washer?

Top-load models: under the lid near the right hinge, or on the outside (back of the control panel, lower left corner, or rear near the water hoses). Front-load models: on the face of the wash compartment inside the door, or low on the outside right side near the front.

Can I tell how old my HOTPOINT washer is by the model number?

The model number tells you which model it is, not when your unit was made. Look for a manufacture date or a supported date code in the serial number, printed next to the model number on the same label.

Can I decode a HOTPOINT serial number myself?

Some HOTPOINT product families have serial date codes, while others need a printed date or manufacturer confirmation. Repeated year codes can produce multiple candidate years; the model and original documents help resolve them.

How long does a HOTPOINT washer last?

Washers typically last 10 to 13 years with normal use and maintenance.

Where can I get HOTPOINT washer parts?

From HOTPOINT's official parts store, or an appliance parts retailer. Have the model number from the rating label ready.
