Hoover drum lifters

[Simon46]

Going to see one later 18 months old no model number yet. Washed trainers lifter hanging off. Is it a drum out job or are they like WMA’s
example would be PE235

Generally Hoover / Candy lifters are locate fix with locating screw. You may be able to access the screw through the steam vent hole. If not it may be a drum out scenario.

I’ve done it before on different models. Access the screw via the sump, remove the screw you can access and then very gently (from in the the tub), break up the lifter. Bear in mind there may still be another screw holding it in. You’ve got to be really careful not to damage the drum.
Fit the new lifter and put one screw in via the sump again. Not sure if it is the same for this model but this is easier than the drum out scenaria.

Thanks RM lifter has lifted at the front but attached at rear of drum. hopefully it lines up with sump hose to get driver in.

Done one of these from via the sump – screwdriver just about lines up but be careful not to loose the screw as is stainless and non magnetic! 🙂
