Yeah same here lol! It used to annoy me and my mother like mad LOL! Ive never come across a machine so sensitive! I tried it with one dry t-shirt in one spin once to see if it would spin! And it didnt!! Just slowed down and spent ages doing those time consuming anti tangle tumbles before the...

Lucky! Wish I could of said the same about mine! Which model does your mother have?

Same here Darren!! I was so suprised you could have anything from 1-5 rinses on any program! And the sensitive programs sounded great but I think there was alot left to be desired! :( Maybe these new ones are better!? Did you find on your Samsung that most of the programs worked in the same way...

Your welcome for the update!! Ive not a clue whether the machine is jinxed or its just a bad design maybe LOL!! It just dosnt seem to have the strength in it to turn a 3-4kg load of towels! When it starts a tumble it almost looks like the drum is going to stall and go back! Thats how slowly it...

Not Very Good At All!! Yeah those Samsungs look like LG'S lol! Not to Hi-jack this post but the Hoover story just gets worse! We waited almost two weeks for it to get fixed with all the new parts, and yesterday the engineer came and did his job, to a poor standard! The module has not been...

Darren! - My neighbour has a 6kg Beko 1400 machine, which Ive been using actually do to it out living my Hoover! Its not a bad machine for the money I must say! They work well and rinse in a decent water level! Also have you noticed that they do the Final Spin twice at 1400! I think this is how...

Thats Mad! You should try a Samsung like what I used to have, their even worse than the new Hotpoints at balancing as I'm sure Darren, or newwave1 on here will agree lol! It didnt often get to the maximum spin speed very often because of it! Most cycles also ended being at least half an hour...

I agree Hoover/Candy have let me down bigtime!! The reason why the drum goes so mad is because the suspension springs on the top of the tub are very small, smaller than the ones on my 6kg Zanussi, which makes the Hoover drum very suseptable to any movement! From my experience I do not believe...

Done it about once or twice when it was about a month or so old so thats out of the question really. Ive got better things to do than sit and mess about with it lol! I just want a machine that works, but it seems to be to hard for manufacturers these days! Hopefully a Miele will be filling its...

Well Well Well!!!!!!.... The Hoover engineer came today, at 5pm! His last call! So he began by taking the top and back of and started a visual inspection! He believes that the motor could be too small, which is causing the problems, however the machine now refuses to do anything, and this is...

Well it seems to cope with much bigger loads than my previous machine, the measurements from the back of the drum to the door glass wouldnt be alot diffrent in all honestly because if the drum was bigger in that dimension, it would have to have a larger than standard cabinet, therefore making it...

AEGO3 : Yeah I have my thoughts about the suspension on the Hoover, it really does let the drum go wild sometimes! And with regards to drum size the hoover drum is massive I must say, after already owning a 6kg Zanussi, Samsung and Bosch, its clear to see that theres quite a diffrence in size...

No Ive never had any other problems with electrical goods in my house before, the wiring and everything is actually quite new lol! Well im convinced now that Ive read the spec of the motor thats in my machine that its too small, made for to take 6kg of dry washing! You can tell this when u...

lol dont get me started on that engineer, he winds me up like mad, hes one of those arrogant ones who cant give you an answer either! Yeah I wont be having another hoover/candy unless I really have to lol! From what Ive seen the Aqualtis seems to balance quite well and isnt so fussy! As we...

I know! The one towel theory is crazy! Me and me mum just looked at each other and I told the engineer thats total rubbish! He also said that because its got a bigger drum, dosnt mean it can take more washing, its so the performance is better! However the manual states that the machine's maximum...

Zodawash : Well after having used the machine its pretty clear it cant handle an 8KG load of washing, it struggles to start tumbling with only a few towels in. The engineer has tested the voltage supply coming from the pcb e.t.c and it all showed fine, also what I couldnt believe is that the...

Yeah Its a big shame! The engineer who came and "fixed" it last Thursday also thought something else could be causing it to burn out i.e, the control boards giving it the wrong voltage, so he tested it all and it was showing all the right voltages! Also theres now the fact that I know the motors...

Well I think were finally getting somewhere! Had a long conversation with Hoover today and they agree that something isnt right, they wernt too argumentative however they just wanted to send a another engineer down to put another motor on which no one was happy with! So on friday, One of their...

yeah your right, the vhd 8162, its definatley not the heater circuit because it heats up without any trouble, it seems to be that after about 45mins or so into the wash, the motor gets far to hot and starts producing a horrible smell, then after that it cuts out. The engineer tested the pcb...

Looks like the Hoover isnt to stay! Washed an average sized load in the Hoover today and to my amazement and sheer disappointment it started creating that burning smell during the main wash and cut out ! Only 4 days into it being repaired! I'm quite horrified to be honest, I think there is a...
