Hi all,
I have a hoover dynamic washing machine.
Today the drum will not turn with washing in the machine. When there is no washing in it, it turns fine. Brushes are not long changed and the belt has also been changed recently.
Any ideas why this is happening?
Thanks
GordonCould also be the motor`s pulley is slipping on the motor shaft and if so get the pulley tig welded to the armature.
PS and if so best to temporarily disconnect the motor brush wires. I`d first check the new motor brushes before messing around welding. Yep I know you said you changed them recently none the less but have had new m/brushes fail by jamming.
Cheers for the replies. To be fair this is this machines 3rd failure this year so just going to replace. Cheers again for the help.
well in my opinion these days Hoover and Hotpoint are not the quality machines they once were
Hoover is now a chinese company and most of Hotpoint has just been sold to Beko which are better built machines

Very true Dave and have been better built for many years. Question is if the Turks can do it why can`t the Italians and the answer is as you allude to: many parts are now brought in from China, that of course includes Bosch too. Although saying that the rock bottom priced Chinese made Beko I always found to be ok machines. TCL are Chinese and are very similar to a 80 series Samsung I have a 2 year old TCL 1400 spin 8kg and it is a fine machine……until of course it jacks and then I get hammered by the inflated spare parts prices!
Seen several of them, the drum pulley is plastic on these and the spline teeth sheer off, so it slips on the drum shaft. For future reference, it’s just a case of replacing the drum pulley.
washingmachinewoman. I can see where your`re coming from, never come across that before probably because I left the trade though I have seen some crazy things before. Just looked the pulley up. Who in their right mind designed that in, must be nylon/plastic? Just asking for trouble. Just as bad as nylon drive gears in a petrol lawn mower, a Qualcast I seem to remember, that got chucked by someone and that was not cheap- teeth all sheared off the drive train. I think that is the standard these days, anything to save a quid, it only gets worse as the years trondle by.
