    Re: Hoover Keymatic 3243H keyplates

    Hello

    I have been lucky enough to have obtained a white keyplate for this machine and am glad to report it works 😀
    So all I am looking for now is the orange Keyplate

    If you mean the lint filter that sits at the back of the drum, i will keep an eye out for you for as far as i know these are the same on the older Hoover Dryer de luxe and logic models

    Hello

    Well thanks for looking anyway, i knew it was a long shot.

    If the knob cover is good conditin then yes i would be interested.

    The fascia trim plates on this series of machines are held on with double sided tape, a good hot hairdryer and a bit of patience has them coming off eventually

    I have plenty of working spares pillaged from other machines at work for my machines but it is the cosmetic parts that are not so easy to come by.

    Fortunately all three 1100 machines have at some time in their life been fitted with the later large roller bearings and backplate (the original bearings were very small tape roller jobs that were prone to collapsing) these roller bearings and backplate were used right through to the Logic range

    I just like these machines they are easy to work on and thus utterly servicable and wash very well, i do have a current model Bosch in the house so am in no need of a machine as such

    I have seen some absolute beauties come through, Miele, Siemens. Bosch etc, i would say we get more Hotpoint/Indesit than any other make, mainly modern ones aswell plus all the usual budget rubbish, i am waiting to see when the hotpoint aqaultis and indesit moons start appearing

    so again thanks

    Gary

    Re: Hoover A3110 Spare Parts Required

    Why ? yes i wonder myself sometimes 🙂

    I like old washing machines, I like to restore them, i have an even older (early 1960s) Hoover twin tub.

    I have a modern machine in the house but i keep all my old ones in the garage and i use them, they all wash really well and are a damsight faster than my modern machine (it takes nearly two hours to do a 40 degree wash) and even then it doesnt always get my work clothes as clean as the old hoover machines.

    I work at a re-cycling centre and for years i have seen allsorts of old machines coming though, a few years ago I brought one home, serviced it got it running properly and thought I like this, and that was it every so often a mchine comes in and i bring it home

    As you can see i have penchant for old Hoover 1100’s, one day I hope a keymatic will turn up…….
