Hoover Nextra – Replace the Main Programme Board?

[jhnby]

Hi there,

I have a 4 yr old Hoover washing machine Mod. HNF 3157-80 / Ser. No. 3100063 0445 4563.

On a 59′ wash programme, it remains on wash for hours without moving on to rinse, drain or spin.

On a rinse cycle, it will fill and drain and keep tripping at the same point in the programme til it turns itself off.

On the spin cycle, it drains for a long time, the drum twitches occasionally and then it stops without spinning at all.

I’ve cleaned the pump of the few calcium pebbles – (otherwise clean) and checked all electrical connections.

A couple of days ago, it wouldn’t drain, but did spin with some water still in the drum. Now it won’t spin, but it drains ok. I’m confused!

Any ideas what I should try next?

have you checked the motor brushes,
plug out first.

Will I have to take the motor off to do that? From what I can see, there seems to be a light covering of black dust over the copper segments. Could it just need a cleaning?

dont clean the coper segments.
take the brushes out and look at the faces both should be shiny.

Yes, both faces are clean and shiny. One shaft surface looks like it has been affected by heat. (1mm in total from the face).

So I wiped the stem clean, put the brushes back and put the motor back in. Is there anything else I could check before ordering a new programme board?
