Hi, I would be grateful for any help.
Hoover Ecologic 1100 s/n AC13630100435
The washer will not take in hot water. The supply is there, the hose is fine, the filter is clear and I have changed the inlet valve.
Any clues? Is the inlet water pressure monitored?
best regards, davey

No.
Can you here a faint buzzing noise when the machine is set to a 95° wash ?
If you are certain that the new valve you have fitted is OK then the only way to test further is with a wiring diagram and the proper test equipment.
Wiring diagrams a copyright material so without it you can only do basic circuit tests.
Plug out if you intend to proceed or click on the link in my sig to see if we have someone in your area. Fault could be wiring, control timer etc.

Thanks. I’m pretty sure the replacement valve is fine because it was taken off another washer only at the weekend that was scrapped for other reasons. I don’t think I can make out a buzzing noise (presumably after the noise of the timer selecting the appropriate programme), but at the point where you would expect the programme to start and water flow in, there is a definite click.
This suggests to me that the relay (or whatever) is switching so I’ll check out the wiring tomorrow.
Re: Hoover Ecologic Washer not taking in hot water
No relays involved, the click will be the door interlock closing. Apart from a visual check on the wiring there is little else you can do without a wiring diagram, a timer sequence chart and proper test equipment.
You should also use a multimeter or meggar to check the condition of the replacement valve as well as the displaced one.
Plug removed, of course. 😉
