Customer rang this afternoon but I’m not going till Friday. So thought I’d see if anyone’s had this before. She held the phone near machine and I could clearly hear a loud buzzing noise, too loud to be a water valve but same frequency – like old Hotpoint interlocks used to make, the ones with coils in.
(Ah, happy days they were.) Anyway, she says it’s coming from control panel area and machine won’t do anything. Selector switch looks cheap, wonder if I should get one to take with me?
Mike.Re: Hoover HSPF167 buzzing noise (over phone).
Went to this on Friday. Luckily, had done a search here beforehand and finding this thread discovered that I had an unused new board for it in stock!
Got there, switched on and the thing began to work. She said, “I tried a dozen times and it wouldn’t do that for me.” Anyway, turned out there was no life from the motor. Checked it over and found o/c toc. bridged it temporarily and tried again, still no m/a. Went to coreboard and found burn mark around a relay foot but it looked like a difficult one as there were four or more miniscule tracks running to it on the print side.
Changed to new board and away it went. Have to go back with new toc next week.

Hmm. Went back and installed new toc on Friday. Tested all OK and working fine. Got my money and away.
A few minutes ago she rings up and tells me it only did two washes and then died. 🙁
Apparently it’s now dead, no lights, nothing. She has checked plug, fuse etc.
She says that when she turns it off it gives a little “plink” as though something is going on. 😕
Any ideas? Probably be going back Weds or Friday.
Mike.Re: Hoover HSPF167 buzzing noise (over phone).
👿 Was exactly same damage to new board as had occurred on old one. Toc had gone again in motor but for no apparent reason. I BER’d it and gave her most of money back. There was a tiny little bit of burning sign around where the tacho wires junction from the loom into the motor plug. I have since thought that maybe the tacho wires were intermittently shorting at that point, causing the motor to go into spin during wash. Anyway, not worth chucking good money/time after bad. Next time anyone says “Nextra” I will use a long stick.
Mike.
