Thanks for confirming the part, yes the restraint springs are still in place. Do you think I need a new door seal as well as the dampers?

[KevB]

The dampers seem to allow more bouncing than they should, are these the correct replacement?

Cheers, I will check them

Thanks Dave, I have seen a few spares in the shop, but I am also after confirmation of my diagnosis before spending the better part of £200 on replacing the parts mentioned. Any ideas?

Re: Candy GO482 Drain Fault

These pumps are pretty universal across Hoover and Candy machines… PM me

Re: Hoover DYN9144DG Light Flashing

Count the flashing pattern and let everyone know what it is. I had a similar problem with my Hoover WM which turned out to be a broken heating element.

im sorry, but your missing the point…

so hoover ,in fact, any company should indeed set up a multi million pound service and technical department so they can just tell people how to fix their machine, for free, using (probably) pattern parts bought from somewhere else?

how do you feel when people devalue your job, or in fact ur need to make money and survive?
however, your fault is pretty simple

take out your multi metter and check out the components that are in use during that part of the cycle

i know ull think im being cynical, but people sometimes need to look at the bigger picture, rather than thinking everything should just be free all the time.. do you work free?

Without getting into a tit-for-tat discussion, let me state my case. I work in an industry where specialist knowledge is important and I can appreciate the point you are trying to make.
However, what I do not agree with is the assumption that a “simple” machine like a washing machine requires an expert to come and solve a 5 minute problem for £££’s.
Many people have the ability to perform simple-to-moderate repairs, if they have the correct information. By refusing to give out the necessary information to enable home-repairs, Hoover have lost any chance of me being a repeat customer.

The Hoover SE247 in my laundry has developed a new fault.

This time the symptoms are that the wash stops mid-cycle and the door remains locked and there are three lights that flash constantly with about a second interval; these lights are the Door security; the No-spin indicator light and the 3h light. All three flash together non-stop.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance

For the record, this turned out to be a blocked drain-pump filter, a penny had gone through the wash and was blocking the drain sieve completely. Once I cleared that blockage the machine behaved normally once more.

Re: Hoover SE147 Washing Machine fault

I did the repair on Saturday.
1 ) unplug the machine
2 ) remove back cover
3 ) disconnect wiring from heating element
4 ) use multi-meter to test element – dead circuit
5 ) slacken pinch nut and remove element
6 ) purchase new element (£23.50 from local supplier)
7 ) fit new element in reverse order to above
8 ) replace back cover
9 ) Plug in machine, test… no error codes

So, Hoover wanted to charge me in the order of £118 for an engineer on a single visit to come and diagnose problem and use “5 yr parts warranty” to replace parts… or sign up to a Direct Debit of £13.50/month to have access to multiple engineer visits…

Simple arithmetic!!! 😛

Not happy that Hoover refused to give me enough info to fix the machine myself 👿 , so Thanks to kwatt for confirming the meaning of the flashing code I had… 8)

Re: Hoover SE147 Washing Machine fault

Thanks again…

Re: Hoover SE147 Washing Machine fault

Can anyone tell me what reading I should be looking for when I check the heating element. Google shows a similar Hoover machine has 25-30 ohms across the element, would this be the same on the SE147?
