fitting the belt. Hi, I've distant memories of fitting these belts, and I'm sure your on the right lines with removing the front panel, slipping the belt over the drum, now I can't remember if you could then reassemble with the belt loose, then go in the lower panel and slip it over the motor...

Hi Chris Just a few quick thoughts, if the motor turns the drum correctly at wash speed, then the motor and tacho circuits are working, have you checked the pressure switch/pressure vessel and the out of balance micro switch, as if the machine thinks it still has water in the tub or is out of...

Hi Nigel I've found a spare carbon counter face seal, the part that presses onto the drum axel, or is it the carbon seal that presses into the bearing housing, I think they are the same as the Hoover 1100, at least for the metal backplate/ enamel drum models, I must have a couple of those, so...

sorry for posting twice I only manage to do this every other time I post now.

Hi Chris From my own experience, and it's not a silly question. The grease on the suspension could be part of the problem, as the plastic guides also act as dampers, and as you suggest the grease is reducing the friction too much. That's if you've used ordinary workshop grease that is. You...

Some lovely memories of Gary I first met him when I collected a washer cabinet off him, I think we must have hit it off straight away and a good friendship grew from then, meeting up for our gatherings or each others to swap machines/parts or work on repairs, all such fun laced with the humour...

Pleased you found this old thread and were able to find an answer to your question. Hope it helps, they are certainly a tighter fit than ordinary bearing pullers would remove. All the best, Mathew

I'm fascinated reading of the frigidaire combination washer dryer, and have to respect the lateral thinking and engineering to come up with the tilting tub design, even if it was just a concept design. If this had the wash performance and 1140rpm spin it surely have been more efficient than...

Another wonderful restoration Paul I've very much enjoyed reading of your hard and frustrating work and seeing the internal photos of this laundromat, I'm looking forward to the videos, Well done Mathew

Hi Matthew Just looked up an old qualtex catalogue, they are the same as the logic 1100/1200/1300 bearings and seal. I know they can be done, I think with the introduction of the plastic tub, hoover just supplied a new tub complete for there own service technicians, well that's my theory...

A great save, well done on saving this rare hoover machine. Mathew

the 3226 has the most discreet plumbing, or could we hope the set designers to have put the tap adaptors on the sink taps I wonder. A lovely Servis Austin, I've got the all cream model. Mathew

Sorry to hear of Gary's far too early death. Sadly, I had not met or spoken to him, and get the sense from those that have, that we'd have got on well and had plenty to talk about. Seeing that last photo at Pimms o'clock, those smiles just shine out the friendship and camaraderie of this wider...
