    Re: Hoover HNL 6166 went bang

    I’ve taken the machine outdoors though and tried it again on a spin cycle and it seems to work fine.

    I gets up to full speed but then the smoke starts to appear again and it’s mainly visible in the drum when I open the door?

    Re: Hoover HNL 6166 went bang

    For the past two washes the machine made a fair old rattling noise when it started to spin. On the last wash it made the same noise then there was a single loud bang that I heard from upstairs. When I got down there was a bit of smoke seeping from the top. Most of the smoke though seemed to be on the inside of the drum, once I opened the door.
    Whats the drum spider?

    Just had another look and the drum is spinning as normal.I let it run in the garden through a full spin cycle and it seems to get up to speed Ok.

    Once again though some sort of smoke filled the drum.

    Not sure it’s the bearings though as the drum seems to be spinning at a fair old speed.

    Bit of a bitch as my head says scrap it in case of fire but calling someone out may well cost me a few bob and I may end up scrapping it afterwards anyway.

    Re: Beko Gas Cooker Model DVG9621

    I have now fitted a new Electrode to the dodgy burner but that hasn’t solved my problem.

    Through trail and error and switiching around a couple of the electrodes that are sparking I’m now pretty sure that it is the unit that sends out the sparks that is faulty.

    I believe this may be called the ‘ignitor’

    Can anyone offer some advice on where I go from here.

    Cheap spares etc.


    Cheers
