Thanks kaibart.

I have removed the doorlock (still wired) from the machine and played about with it but still no locking and starting of programme.

I have added this photo for reference as I forgot to add it with all the others…..

Not too sure what you mean. I will get a picture of it uploaded.

Thanks electrofix.

Water valve should get a reading of 3-4 kohms on both valves
Pump should be around 180 ohms
Heater should be around 18 ohms
Ntc with 2 yellow wires should be a reading in kohms.ive uploaded the test proceduce for you to try also hope this helps you

Thanks kaibart.
When the spin programme is selected the door lock does not happen. Nothing happens! 😮

I have gone around all the wiring and as far as I can see, all seems to be correct.

Unfortunately I can’t get my hands on a multimeter, though I did check the heater, solenoids with a circuit checker and all seems to be okay.

I have followed the auto-test sequence but nothing follows the instructions. The stop light simply flashes.

One query I may have, is if you look at the bottom image, to the left is a red cable not connected to anything.
I know there is a black cable version like this that is cable tied (to the spin speed dial) as it must be used in another version of this machine.
So, should that red cable be connected to anything or is it a cable for a different machine that shares the same wiring loom?

If it doesn’t move then did you remove the ribbon cable to or from the fascia module as you can connect these upside down…[/color]

Thanks for your reply timdowning.

When the machine is ready to go the red light stays on and the stop light flashes.

I disconnected the cable and turned it around to see what happens. Some of the lights illuminate but very poorly, so it’s fair to say the cable was correctly connected. I returned the cable back to it’s correct position.

How do you show images on here please?

Re: Hoover 1500 HSP 15 not starting….

Hello.

I have disconnected the motor from all it’s wiring and reconnected.

Still nothing from the W/Machine.

A month or so ago, I successfully replaced the carbon brushes in the motor. So all in all the machine is or should be in great working order for a bit while longer now. 😥

Re: Hoover 1500 HSP 15 not starting….

Thanks electrofix, for your suggestion.

I will do so and get back here with an answer! 😉

Thanks all! :tup:

Re: Hoover 1500 HSP 15 not starting….

Hello.

Thank you for your much needed contribution, Kaibart.

Okay, I turn the spin dial to 1500 and turn the programme dial to a 40º wash and press start. Nothing happens.

Normally the lock light will come on, here the click of the door latch lock and then the solenoid open to allow the drum to fill with water/soap via the soap dispenser.

Like I said if I disconnect the pressure tube from the pressure chamber and blow into it the drainage pump starts. The locked door light is also illuminated.

I know my way around a washing machine but this has stumped me. :bang:

I hope you can help as I am recently divorced, and I have my two young girls living with me. Their Mother is no longer wanted or bothered with. :rolls:

Re: Hoover 1500 HSP 15 not starting….

Hello and thank you for the reply.

Yes, when I blow into the pressure switch, the pump kicks in and drains any water (I hand filled some of the drum).

The ‘lock’ light does come on.

When I let go of the pressure on the pressure tube the pressure switch then clicks back twice and the pump stops.

Hope this helps. 😕

Re: Spin cycle problems on a Hoover Select 1500 Triple AAA

Also please……

….do I buy the carbon brushes on there own or do I buy them with the plastic casing included?

Thank you. 😉

Re: Spin cycle problems on a Hoover Select 1500 Triple AAA

I do have slight knowledge of washing machines as I used to sell them in a domestic appliance shop back in the mid 80’s.

With this knowledge, I turned off the water supply, removed the back plate, took the belt off and unbolted the motor.

I then put the machine to a spin only cycle and and watched the motor. The sparks were coming from one of the carbon brushes where it was making contact with the copper coil area.

I swapped the brushes over and it appears to be working okay.

So is it fair to say it’s the carbon brushes?

If so does anyone know an average price for Hoover Select 1500 Carbon brushes please?

Thank you.
