    4 months ago I required a new fan for a Creda 37764(condensor) only to be informed that you have to buy a motor complete, (more unnecesary waste, dont get me going) I fitted the new motor, now 4 months later the fan has come loose again. Anyone come up with this problem?

    Only seen this once on a Hotpoint machine. Customer is a friend of mine who owns a compressor supply repair business to industry. He took it into his large unit for me to have a look at. Diagnosed loose fan, he came up with a small hose clip, similar to the ones used on the red and black rubber fill hoses fitted to Hotpoint machines over 25 years ago, he clamped one to the fan with special pliers and it has been fine for over 12 months.

    This is nothing short of scandalous. IMO it merits a complaint to trading standards. If it happens to me that is what I’ll do. 😡

    “Spare part fit for purpose” will be the jargon, Mike. Same as all those years ago when the small boss Hoover 1100 drum pulley was made “obsolete”. The suitable repair was an entire drum and back plate assembly. It was “fit for purpose”.

    Mal’s comments re the fan are interesting – have a local customer with an Admiral (Maytag) tumble dryer. After the third fan broke on a Friday, a small Jubilee clip pulled it all back together for the weekend. JLA were out of stock for 10 days, and this damn fan kept on going…….. When it turned up, I fitted it and put the clip on the new fan – I have not been back to it since! I assume that any slack on the moulding fitting over a “D” shaft has been taken up, so the starting shock is fully absorbed through the whole fan.

    Cheers,
    Chris.

    If the replacement motor kit was a 1702586, then the splined fan is available as a separate item, part number 1702278. The original fan you replaced was a ‘D’ type fitting, never seen one of those come loose.

    Hoover TV series wasn’t it? Splined fan = endemic failure. The one with the olive compression fitting was no better………

    We forget about this one because of all the drums falling off the shaft…………
