Hi guys. May I request some help please? Daily driver's motor has stopped turning. Heater coils work but no attempt to turn. Being an induction motor, is there any capacitor on these models? If not, could the motor have burnt out and are any spares interchangeabke with Hoover twin tubs? Any...

Following-up a post for help on Facebook, so sorry if you think you have seen this before: Anyway, it's another non-starting Hoover! I have an A3586 'timeline' Hoover Logic model with a problem, after being unused for 18 months. After selecting the wash programme, the timer keeps clicking but...

Hi guys, Been a while, since I restored the machine - it keeps working well and I've just given it a service and found that the top of the inner enamel drum is rotten - it's even holed in a few places. Does anyone have a spare drum from a breaker at all? I think this drum has about a year left...

Finally got moved into the new place and sorted the utility room, well more of a cupboard! The machines are old but I hope they last looking after a family of four. Only the timer on the driver is dicky.. Grrr!

Having just moved into a new house, this was awaiting us and, following advice on this Forum, I understand that they work pretty well and it would be best cleaning it up, replacing worn parts, and using it.

Possibly a long shot but does anyone have a new or used purple plastic timer knib as my one is starting to fall apart internally and is very loose on the shaft. Can anyone help please?

Hi guys, Advice time again. I've put an offer on an house and it has an old Hoover drier in it. Looking at the pics on this excellent forum, it looks like a D6042. I presume these are a one way dryer but are they any good compared to more modern machines? Does it have a moderate capacity, for...

Ready for a bun fight...but also keen to learn from the learned on here...

As cheap as possible please. Can anyone help, please?

After finding that the Hoover Electron was too far gone to be worth rebuilding, there have been a few changes here. Our modern machine has been pensioned off, replaced with a Hoover Logic 1200, which I rebuilt totally around 18 months ago. Acting in a supporting role is our Hotpoint 1509/10...

As per another thread, I have decided to offer this built-in retro machine for sale. My gran owned it from new, then I used it occasionally after that. It's in pretty good order having had drum bearings and a door seal fairly recently. It is not all mouldy and rusty either. However it needs a...

After trying unsuccessfully to sell the above machine on eBay with no interest, I have decided to break it up and scrap the remnants. I hate to do this to a classic machine but nobody wishes to take it on. Does anyone need anything? Stephen has bagged the timer window. R

Our washing machine packed in yesterday. No problem thinks me, as I can replace it with a elderly Bosch V696 washer dryer, until I effect a fix. After plumbing-in the old machine, water trickled into the drum after switching the water on but leaving the electric unplugged. After taking off the...

After fixing up an old Hotpoint top-loader last year, a 1509/10, which would not have been possible without the support of members of this forum, I thought I would give something back, by explaining how I am getting on with it, seven months on. So, if you have bought/inherited/stole one of...

I “rescued” this old 1100 recently and am wondering what to do with it. It’s not in the best condition. I have no idea if it is a particularly unusual or rare model, or if any of you guys want to pick at it for spares. Starting with the good bits: It is complete and not majorly rusty The outer...

Having sold a Logic earlier this year, an A3888, I am left with an early timeline 1200 machine that I fully reconditioned last year. Since finishing it, I have taken many months to finally run a test wash. All is good, other than two leaks at the new door seal, where the seal contacts the...

Just testing the water, as I do not really have the need for this machine anymore. If it doesn't go to an old machine enthusiast, it might have to face the local paper or, even worse, the dreaded fleebay... Anyway, it's a Logic 1100, in really clean, tidy condition, in white. Dates from 1990...

And so here it starts… Before stripping the machine down, I sought to sort out the slow spin. On the forum experts’ advice, I took the clutch shoes off, found they were a bit stiff, cleaned, lubricated and cleaned the glaze off the friction material. The housing was also cleaned out with...

Don’t get excited - it’s yet another top loader; a 1709/10, from 1978. Not a front-loader, or a 1848 that my Mum had until around 1992... Basically, several years ago, I was looking for a top-loader but one I was offered, from the early '80s, was a wreck. I spotted this older example in...

For UK-based Hoover owners/readers especially, I am rebuilding an old timeline Logic, A3586. I got the bearings done and put it all together for a test wash. It works fine, except that the heater turns the 40 degree wash into a 60 and, upon stripping the left hand thermostat, found a broken...
