I’ve just moved into a flat with a Hoover Performa 1100 washing machine but the marks on the dial showing which program is selected (no.s 1-5) have been rubbed off. Can anyone tell me where I can find a picture of the dial on the internet, or another way to find out where each number should be?
The best thing to do would be to get a new timer knob, not expensive. We would need the proper model number and serial number to identify correct part though.
Thanks for replying. I know a spare part would be an option but I really don’t want to spend any money as I don’t own the washing machine, it’s my landlords. The washing machine does work, I was just dubious about whether I was guessing the right place for the start of the program.
If you are paying rent which includes the use of this washer then by rights your landlord should pay for a new timer knob. Who would be responsible if you damaged clothing due to incorrect settings.
Some Performa models do have a separate temperature control so if you are careful with this then the worst that could happen if you select an incorrect programme is over spinning and creasing of delicate items.
if you say it is missing 1-5 on the dial then i can tell you i have a performa in my shop its number 4 wash is opposite the centre of 10 and 11 ie put ten and eleven at the very bottom you should then have a 40 wash which is the main wash on this machine
there is no tell though if the one i am looking at is the same as yours without more details but a dial fitted would be the best option to avoid any problems
