Hi
I have a hoover nextra 6 model number HNWL 7166 that makes a really loud noise when spinning, fine on normal wash. There does seem to be a lot of play in the drum as well. As well as the noise its started throwing the belt of also. My guess is its the bearing but would like some help before i go and waste money on a bearing.
Any help guys would be great, thanks
Graham
Re: hoover nextra 6 loud noise on spin
I would suspect the bearings are at fault.If there is a large amount of movement in the drum and it’s throwing the belt off.There may also be the signs of grease and water at the rear of the drum.Check your washing as well,as sometimes you can get small grease marks on your clothing.Don’t forget power off before going in.

I wouldn’t waste money on a bearing or to be precise ‘bearings & seal’.
This machine is not the easiest machine on which to do a bearing change. The whole drum assy has to come out through the top. 😥
If you do want to attempt this then the best thing to do would be to strip the machine down first. If you then find that the drum bearing shaft is badly damaged which is very likely given that it is now throwing the belt off then you would be looking at major expense.
