Re: Hoover SE220 washer
Sorry, looking through post again, forgot to include fact that the tripping occurs only when on fast spin, if this makes any more sense.

Re: Hoover SE220 washer
Thankyou for your prompt responses.
I dont have the equipment to do an IR test, Im not an engineer or anything, just prepared to get my hands dirty and give things a go.
It seems to be an intermittent fault. When I use the washer after not using it for a day or so, it may do this, but then it works fine.
Could a control unit cause this, bearing in mind the machine works perfectly and goes through all its programs and cycles as it should provided I dont get the big RCD tripping spark off it.
Could the recon motor be faulty (I guess this could only be verified with an IR test). The motor did come with a 12 mth wty.
Could it be it has new brushes and they have to ‘shape’ or bed in like car brakes etc completely to the armature as at present they dont entirely like the ones on the old motor did.
Im a bit at a loss with this one, as there doesnt seem to be any reason for this and now having spent about £100 on it of late, Id rather not throw in the towel and buy a new machine (well not for a few months at least)
Thanks
Steve
