Programmer

Am i ready for a eye test or is that programme (number 1) on the timer dial when it should be the (letter A) Bio Prewash. Well done on the excellent clean up job. It's now in total show room condition.

Hi Craig.
Well spotted!

Yours eyes arent deceiving you - we have had to install the programmer dial innard from an A3006, though hopefully it will be temporary.

When we got the machine, Rob noticed that there was a lot of play in the dial and difficulty in getting it to 'Push off' positively.
On removing the dial we found that the plastic protrusion, that slots over the programmer shaft, had torn and was allowing play on the dial. Once broken, the dial would have spun round and round, without turning the timer.

Raiding the spare parts we have, the closest we could find was the programmer innard from an A3006 (amongst others for the A2E04 and A3060).

So, hopefully temporarily, its equipped with a dial that works but a bit complicated:

A=1
B=2
C=3
D=4
E=5
F=7 (there is no equivilant of the A3006's programme 6, so it jumps)
G=8
H=9
J=10

The old dial is with me and just waiting the purchase of some super glue, before some sort of repair will be implemented involving the glue and me wrapping the broken part in acetate (those who saw my repair to the facia of the Hotpoint 95842 Microtronic will know what I mean by wrapping).

Have this evening possibly found a source of brand new replacement A3058 programmer disks, so it should be put back to normal sooner rather than later (with a bit of luck!).

Very nice...

Looks like you are having fun with your new front loading automatic. I am having the same experience in cleaning up my first two front loading automatic collection pieces! I did email you about them I think...

Oh well my eyes aren't that bad after all. I'm sure you guys are really proud of what you have done to get this Hoover in tip top condition. you truly make this site worth visiting. I have been fortunate to use an Electronic deluxe 800 spin but not the same model as yours but a earlier model. I could go on all night about what i liked about it. I guess you know what i mean. Ahh i'm so jealous.
