Re: Hoover washing machine overheats
take the plug out.
To get to the pcb take the front off.
i would not fit a new one its too much to spend on a machine that age.
the wiring going to the pcb will restrict its removal it is best to take out the motor plug ang remove the wiring clamped onto the bottom of the concrete weight.
if removing wiring please note where they go.
once you get the box out far enough to see the board you should be able to remove the pcb from the box.
inspect it closely for burnt bits, dry soldered joints bad connections, check the wiring at the bottom of the board it can get rubbed through on the edge of the cabinet.
i would not fit a new board its too expensive for a machine that age, better to get a new oneRe: Hoover washing machine overheats
i dont really like people slagging off hoover and then asking for help, but i will give you the benefit of the doubt, i am hoovers biggest fan but i think the new wave was one of their less reliable machines, the big pcb in the bottom front rh side as you look at the door is faulty.
take it off and check for dry joints in the solder or blown tracks, again if i was honest i would not fit a new pcb to a machine that age.
before you replace the machine take a good look at the new range of hoover washing machines available in 6kg, 7kg or 8kg load sizes.
the 7 is the best i would not recommend the 8.
they are reasonably priced, come with a 5 years parts guarantee, and are good value for money, they are also easy to repair.Re: Hoover washing machine overheats

your previous post said it lasted 15 years not bad for 4 of us.
‘Tis Hoover ’tis 15 years old ’tis lasted a lot longer than most of the cr@p available today.Re: Bosch WET 2820GB/13 not draining
thanks for the quick reply it might be an option repairing it as its integrated and would probably have been an expensive machine when installed originally.
i might speak to emw tommorrow to see if it can be repaired.
thanks again.Re: Hoover HW120M

the commutator consists of small rectangular segments which should all look more or less exactly the same in shape and colour, if one or more are raised its knackered and a new motor is required.
plug out obviously.its the motor.

i would love to see the good old days back when i used to go to old candy machines and others that where built to last!
sorry derek that wasnt what i was refering to apologies for any offence,i am off to the labour rates thred to see if i can offend someone there.Re: DOMESTIC APPLIANCES LIFESPAN AND GLOBAL WARMING

I believe the labour charges of some independant repairers is the downfall of this trade as customers if faced with a £40 – £50 call-out charge will potentially loose the mindset to ever call some-one out.
Buy a machine and throw away on first failure purely because of call-out to cost of equivalent machine new.
You also have the repairer who ‘BER’ a machine and make £40 without getting their hands dirty. Not good for the trade long term.
If our charges were more favourable i’m sure we would gain more work and trust of the customer.
i totally agree with these comments but there seem to be many on this site who are quick to tell people chuck it out and get a bosch especially if the customer has a candy based hoover.Re: Hoover HW120M
i bet you didnt know you had logged onto bosch website.
i would call out an engineer to get a look at it ,before we dig another hole in the ground to put a not very old, probably repairable washing machine in.Re: Hoover HW120M

have you got a load in it if so try it empty, if the load is unbalanced it will not spin but go through at tumble speed.
also check there is no spin cancel option selected, i cant remember if this machine has one or not.Re: Hoover AAA160 no water fill
when you say it spins ok does the pump go at spin, if not if the pump is open circuit it will not fill with water if you are checking it take the plug out
Re: Hotpoint WF840 not pumping out
did you take the sump hose off to check for blockages, also you could take the pump chamber off to ensure that there isnt anything wrapped round the impellor?
plug out if you check it.Re: hot point washing machine broken
if you post the model number and clarify wether its just the door locked light flashing or any another other lights someone will help you.
if its just the door lock light try opening the door and closing it again.
if you go any further plug out please.Re: Help please
take the plug out first.
it would be worth taking the top off, then take a look at the small black rubber hose going from the soap dispenser to the top of the tub, it may have been pulled inwards by a foreign object causing it to rub on the top of the tub. it can be difficult to tell if a noise is coming from the top or bottom of the drum.
if the bearings are faulty you should feel play in the drum.
i dont think it is cost effective to to change drum bearings on these machines but i know other engineers do its not really a diy job unless you have some engineering skills.
