Yucky door gasket

This has to go..........

 

[seamusuk]

Not only was it yucky....

It also has

Hole 1

And another

[seamusuk]

But as luck would have it......

A nice new one was in stock- Genuine Hoover of course

 

[seamusuk]

All fitted....

Much nicer

 

[seamusuk]

And not to forget..

The Servis

 

[seamusuk]

Two Great British Machines

Both on spin

 

[seamusuk]

Almost forgot

Servis details...

Its a late model of this type- plastic outer tub - Also it actually uses a HOTPOINT! motor!

 

[seamusuk]

The Hoover.....

Ive also ordered a new sump hose- its just starting to perish. Id say the leak was the door gasket tho.

Great machines - if I ever get a FL it will be an old Hoover. Years ago we had a Hoover Electron 800 and although it was a bit noisy, it was a great machine. Would love to get hold of one of those.

Thanks for the pics

Hi Seamus

This machine looks great, have you tried it on yet? So was the leak the rubber door?

This looks like it has the classic Hoover drum which I love. I'm still searching for one not too far from me.

Take care

Hi seamus

Is it possible you could do a drum shot of the servis, I just wanted to know if the drum was smooth inside, I had the servis dryer to match the machine you have but it has sadly long gone, was only a small drum and it took forever to dry anything... Many thanx in advance

Questions........

Rob

There is no evidence of scale etc underneath so am assuming the tub shell gasket(as Hoover used to call it lol) was the problem- however its not been water tested yet as the sump hose is starting to crack/perish
(although it dosent appear to have got to the hole stage) and will be replaced before its tested properly.

Robbie

The Servis has a normal preforated drum. Its a pretty late model and from after the Spincare drum range. Darren (newwave1) has an earlier model with the solid/Spincare drum.

[robbiehotpoint]

Chears seamus an new wave for the info andthe pix,

always wondered how they could achieve a good enough water extraction with the solid tub. I have had servis over the years but always wanted the solid tub machine but not many of them left now,,,

Thanx again
