Re: Hoover Logic 1200 A3786

Okay guys, see if you can apply your brains to this, I’ve stood and watched the machine go through a full cycle. it sruggled to take in hot and cold water in the wash cycle but eventually did, although it wasn’t coming into the detergent drawer and I had to wash the powder away with a jug.

It then completed the wash cycle and span okay.

By this time I was believing that there may be a kink in the hoses. then it struggled to take in cold water and I finally nursed it through two rinses by pooring cold water into the drawer until the pressure switch kicked in and rinsed and span. (still no water going through drawer)

Then programmer advanced to special treatments (original problem of sticking here apparently cured!

I was ready with another jug of water, when all of a sudden the water flooded ito the machine via the drawer, washing away the fabric conditioner, filled machine in no time and completed the cycle at the correct time.

So water supply is okay and hoses definately connected correctly to hot and cold. 😕 😕

Any suggestions?

I really appreciate your help and patience.

the left hand side of the cold water valve is not operating properly, fit a new valve , or swap the wires over on the 2 cold valve solenoids and swap the black hoses going to the back of the soap dispenser this will make it fill ok on wash but will not help it taking the fabric softner,

Thanks very much, I’ll order a new valve and let you know how I get on. I’m on a mission now to get the old girl back to tip top condition. In almost 20 years she has never missed a beat apart from a couple of door gaskets.

I used to be a sales manager for Hoover when they made quality machines, pre Candy of course. I can remember being at sales meetings when Candy first came to UK and they were a joke. I can hardly believe that they managed to take over Hoover! But such is life!!

Thanks for all your help and I’ll let you know how I get on.

I tried swapping the wires and hoses as you suggested and so far so good but I think that I will also need a hot inlet valve.

Thanks again

put the powder in the left compartment or put it straight into the drum on top of the clothes.
