Re: Hoover softwave auto-washer 1000
Just ran another cycle from the start and door release is stuck again 😥
Re: Hoover softwave auto-washer 1000
The lock is a double action one. It uses pneumatic pressure to hold the door shut during the wash and a collapsible motion sensor on the pulley wheel connected by a cable to the lock for the spin sequences.
Blocked air hose will hold the door shut. Cable stretching will allow excess travel to the motion sensor and the door will not open. The lever mechanism behind the button bends and doesn’t provide enough travel to pull the spring.

You will probably find the door opens this morning. 😉
This vessel controls the water level so don’t be tempted to try the machine until you’ve cleaned it out.
You must unplug the machine before attempting the repair. And you must be careful to allign and seal the vessel before running a cycle.
i am with tim on this one
