That's absolutely fantastic. Thanks' so much everyone. It seems to be working ok again now, so hopefully just a but of fluff in the pipe. Your kind and generous help means I understand the machine a little better, and I have all the info I need to diagnose the switch, should this happen again.

Ahh, I understand what you mean. Thank you. Sounds like the pressure switch then. The mounting screw for the switch was very loose, so it had been rattling all over the place. I wouldn't expect this to affect the switch performance, but maybe?? It's currently spinning away beautifully with a...

I see where you're coming from about the pressure switch, but it was completely stripped and cleaned 18 months ago, and when I blew down it yesterday, there was absolutely no resistance. Any thoughts on the warm/hot timer motor? The machine was only powered on for 15 minutes, but it felt as...

The out of balance micro switch seems to be working okay. If disconnected the drum stops tuning all together. I tried blowing down the pressure switch tube and it's all clear. If I blow the other way the switch clicks (so no air leaks) but I didn't test this any further. Then I tried another...

Brilliant, thank you so much for your reply. No I haven't checked either, so will have a look now, and let you know. Thanks again, really appreciate your help.

Evening folks, I wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction? Our wonderful old Square Door A3620 Hoover Logic 1300 has stopped spinning! I fitted a new "old stock" motor 18 months ago while fitting new bearings etc. All of a sudden, neither the G 1300 spin or the N 600 spin are...

Mathew, thank you so much, you are a legend! No, I smothered everything in Castrol general purpose grease assuming free movement was the key to smooth running! In fact I can bounce the drum very smoothly and freely with no apparent resistance or damping. Looks like I need to completely clean...

Many thanks for your reply. Sorry, I should have mentioned my January repairs included new bearings and general "clean-up" of the spider, drum etc. The drum seems perfectly true with/without load and the bearings still appear as new with no play. During spin, it is smooth as silk. It only bangs...

Hello folks, hope everyone is well. Sorry to bother you again. You were very kind in helping me fix my beloved Hoover logic a3620 1300 last January and I'm happy to report that it has been working well thanks to your advice. However, I need your help again. Cut a long story short, the...

Thanks. Its a V8

Hello all! Just wanted to say a big thank you for your help and encouragement last December when I needed bearing advice. With your help, our beloved Hover Logic 1300e A3620 lives on. Not sure if it is of interest to you. Just I thought I'd share my saga. A bit of a ramble really, but maybe...

Brilliant, thanks you so much for taking the time to reply, I really do appreciate it. Good to know I can get the bearings. Those part numbers are handy. I'll give Qualtex a try, haven't heard of them before. Maybe they will have a spider kit in stock too. Annoyingly, I saw a complete drum and...

Hi Guys, don't suppose you will remember me. I added a post last year trying to find an indicator pointer/belt for my square door Logic 1300e A3620. I never did get a new belt, so in desperation, my wife managed to figure out how many clicks to get the correct program. Funny, she looks like a...

Thanks everyone for your warm welcome; I really appreciate the help. Sorry for delay in replying, I’m right in the middle of restoring an old Rover SD1 at the moment, and that project seems to be taking over my life. But back to the Hoover Logic. Well it seems there is hope for finding an...

I hate it when someone turns up out of the blue expecting something for nothing, but I’m really sorry to say that’s what I’m doing here. While desperately trying to avoid a trip to the scrap yard, I stumbled across this forum in a frantic search to find a seemingly insignificant but crucial part...
