Re: Hoover w/m, I have spent £80 on a timer to no avail, hel
It works at last!
The new tacho solved the strange speed variations of the drum.
As for the lack of water, that was my fault. When the wash quality deteriorated and the drum speed went a bit strange (caused by the faulty tacho as I now know), I thought the problem was being caused by my having exchanged the standard drain pump for a 100W pump which allowed the machine to pump water out of the cellar up into the downstairs toilet outlet. I therefore fitted a relay so the machine was only switching that instead of the drain pump direct.
Then having replaced the tacho and found it solved the speed issue I realised that it was most unlikely that there were 2 faults so I reconnected the drain pump directly and it worked!
Thanks for your help everyone!
Cheers,
Ed

Hi All,
I have checked the tacho now and found that the resistance measures 5MOhms (5 meg). That sounds far too high to me, does anyone know what it should be or if this means it is definitely useless?

Thanks for all the suggestions.
The brushes are well over an inch long but I’ll check the tacho and motor connector. However, the motor does run during the cycle so I think all those things will be OK. The problem is that the drain pump runs all the time and it won’t admit any water.
I did check the water level sensor and it seemed OK, giving one loud click for normal level sensing and then a very quiet one to close what I assume is the overfill alarm switch.
I’ll also double check the connections to the new programmer but the symptoms were exactly the same after changing it as they were before!
I’m away for the rest of the week now but if anyone has any more suggestions that would be great. Thanks.
