I am finding that there is no hot water during any wash cycle and no hot air during the drying cycle. It appears the heating system is in someway faulty. Can you tell me the cause of this and what sort of cost I am looking at for replacement parts?

I'm having some trouble with a Hoover Six 1200 WDM120 washing machine. On the drying cycle the machine does 4 lots of turns - alternating directions between each set, and then just stops turning. The washing cycles work OK and the drum appears to be spinning fine. After stopping, it sounds as though there is still water being pumped through the machine and heated, and there appears to be no water stuck in the machine. Hitting the on/off switch twice starts it up again - but it does 4 more turns and stops again! With some patience I've actually got one set of washing dry now! Initially, the drum had only been rotating one way, and having taken the back off, I found a l…

We have a Hoover Ecologic A3950 which is about 13 years old. It's developed a fault where it stops in the cycle, twice it seems. I normally use it on the "D" cycle which is the 40 degree wash. As far as I can see from reading your site, everything functions in the sense that it fills with water (hot and cold), it pumps out and it spins. However at two points between "D" and "E" and between "E" and "F", it will stop. I'm also pretty sure that the heater is ok. too (see later for reason). If you click the programme on by a notch each time after it's stopped, it continues the program and after the second "click on" it goes right through to the end and finishes the cycle. F…

Hope you can help. When my washing machine is filling, water is pouring out of the overflow pipe at the back. I called Hoover for technical advice and they said it must be a blockage and that I can't repair it myself so to call GIAS. Can you help? Should I unplug the washer and take the back off to see if I can see a blockage? The powder & conditioner drawer regularly gets blocked. Could it be a build up of this, or of lint (as there's no filter?) I have pulled out and checked the "filter" behind the kickplate and can't find anything there. Thanks for your help,

My Hoover HW521 3M Washer dryer does not drain the water. I think it's blocked because I can hear the pump running but the drum does not drain. The problem is I can't seem to find the pump filter (usually on the front I thought?) I dont mind taking the washing machine apart but is this the only way? And if so what is the best way to do it and where is the filter situated? Thanks for any help!

I have a Hoover New Wave 1100 Washer. When I use wash number 4 (50 degrees) everything seems to work Ok for about 45 minutes, then I notice the water starting to heat up. It is not filling with water, but the water already inside is heating up. If I open the soap dispenser drawer steam comes out of it. After a while the washing machine will automatically reset to zero, probably because it has overheated. As this machine is now 10 years old (just fitted new water pump) is it time to get a new one, especially as there are lots of bargains in the sales. regards

My Hoover washing machine (New Wave Plus) has started to display error codes E1 or E2 during the wash cycle. What these error codes mean please? In fact the washing machine is able to display error codes 1 - 6, it would be useful for future reference if I knew what they all meant.

Dear Andy, Thank you for this site. I live on a small island in the Hebrides and professional help is sparse and sporadic. My Hoover WA110 washing machine filled up with water at the very beginning of the cycle, but as soon as motion began the drum revolved very erratically. I was told by a passing electrician that it's probably the brushes. I have removed the back of the washing machine, removed the drive belt and taken out two of the motor holding bolts. Is there a third unseen or can I now prise off the motor and get at the brushes? Or is this a mistake?

My friends hoover washer dryer 1100 wont stop filling up when on a fill cycle, she has been told by a friend who had the same problem (and called out an engineer) that the water sensor needed cleaning. She also told her its not a difficult diy job. The problem is she doesn't know what she's looking for, has no manual. So to stop her tearing her hair out could you please help

How do you remove the door hinge assembly for a hoover performa AC110 washing machine? Looks like rivets or something.

Hi. I have a Hoover AL130 washing machine. The pump will not work. I have tried fitting a new pump but it's still the same. I have bench tested the old pump and it works smashing. Could it be the control board? If it is, then why is the pump not turning even though it is getting power. Please help

My Hoover Performa Eco 1000 BB recently began to stop shortly into a program and refuse to go any further. This did not happen when I turned the thermostat down to '0', so I assume that the heater is broken (?). If it is the heater, is this a repair that a DIY/electrically-competent 'amatuer' could tackle? If not, what sort of money would I be looking at to have it repaired? (i.e. is it worth me thinking about getting a new washing machine instead of the repair?) Any thoughts/advice welcome, thanks.

We have just had a new combi boiler fitted and noticed that our washing machine is not filling up correctly. It fills up correctly on rinse but doesn't seem to fill up from the hot tap. Could it be something to do with the inlet pressure / temperature of the hot water? The boiler needs a min pressure drop of 0.5bar to start heating the water Any advice would be gratefully recieved.

My New Wave 2101 won't fill properly on a wash programme, only a small amount of water goes in. On a spin programme, the drum rotates at a low speed but never accelerates to a full spin speed. If I use the cancel button to halt one of these programmes, the pump runs for continuously (trying to empty the washing machine) then I get Error 1. I've checked the water supply and inlet valves - seem OK. I've checked the water pump and the outlet pipes - again seem OK. I suspect that the control logic 'thinks' that the machine is full of water, even though it isn't. I think I've eliminated the pressure chamber and its pipe work - because the symptoms are the same when I pul…

Help, I have a hoover washer. When filling, the water empties out of the drain pipe so it doesn't stay filled with water. When the washer is trying to fill, water is going out the drain pipe at the same time. Also the dial when set to 4 stays at 4. The washer does spin when set to six (6=spin cycle), Could this be a control unit problem? Any suggestions?
