Now did you really know the answers, or did you just read the posts above from Alex and myself, 😉

Don’t admit to being an old codger, when two other golden oldies have already exposed themselves, metaphorically speaking of course. 😆

Last few words added to save Greg from digging out his “Oh Matron”, Kenneth Williams picture again. 😛

No I didnt get a clue from Alex and your posts, I really do remember these parts, and whats more The part number for the screws is 629348 because I still have my blue cover Hoover binder full of “useless” oldies diagrams of many hoover appliances of the time.

I got the manuals when I attended the Hoover training session at the Hoover depot, then at team valley trading estate, Gateshead, when the 3224 first came out, I was then a fresh faced young sprog working in the appliance dept of F.W.Johnson and sons, of Tynemouth (long since gone). Ah the good old days……..

Talking of old machines, I have a Beaty washing machine which I have restored, I display it in the window of my shop. It was a part ex from a customer who bought a Hotpoint countess from me in about 1970! she claimed that she bought it in about 1940, and to her knowledge she was the first person in Newcastle to own an electric washer. (true ?)

I have researched some of the history of Beaty Bros., Canada, on the web, and have found some interesting info on them. They even made one powered by a small petrol engine !!!

Lets stop there before I get carried away.

Re: Known Error Codes

Whirlpool sixth sense washers

this error code is not listed in whirlpool error code list on SIOS disc ( as far as I can see). I have come across this on several different versions of this model.
door locked light flashing, and machine wont start… “motor open circuit” (usualy carbons)

Re: whirlpool washer dryer awg320wh, half load sw

Thanks for the info Chris, but I have already checked out 522000800, which was a six term sw, but has been changed to a two term one ! The 522004602 I can find on various distributors databases, but there is no pictures available, and phone calls to them have not been of any help. But even if I were to find the correct switch I would still have to fit the kit, as the original switch mountings are different to the new switches, ie the new switch will not fit the original mounting bracket.
The search goes on ! ! !
