Hoover A3110 now making noise

[richardc1983]

Hi Guys

After all that sorting out of my motor etc, it has now started to make a noise when going anti clockwise,

The noise can only be described as "brushy" drum still feels smooth and only does it anticlockwise.

Any ideas?

well if it is one direction it is often the motor brushes....a sort of light clicking sound, if you turn the drum by hand the sound will change with the speed you turn the drum

If it is brushes these are readily available on ebay, you want the "pre-logic motor" brushed

Oh why have they have gone funny all ready...

My money's on possession by evil spirits. Seems to have been one trial after the other! Try sprinkling the machine with holy water and say a few Hail Marys.

Well it's worth a shot!

: )

I know im just not having luck at all am I!

How long have I got then before the motor gives up if I dont get brushes repaired. Got enoughh on at the mo to do that.

Hi Richard, assuming it is the brushes, have you spoken to Mark about the problem??

Hello All

Effin feeeeezin down ere!......too nippy to be playing in the Garage

Well my diagnoses was long shot, but i have had brushes crack and do this also if they decide just to rattle a bit in the brush holder this can happen

Mikes right why have a chat with Mark.........

As regards the motor giving up all that will happen is the problem will get worse...and eventaully the motor waont turn....but it wont kill the motor

If it is brushes it is a very easy job to do, as you have replaced the motor you know how to remove it and this is all you need to do to change the brushes.

One other thought maybe JUST maybe the belt needs re tensioning....these can make a crunching sort of sound if they are a bit to slack.

Dont give up matey, nost of your problems have been made worse by your lack of experience with machines (and of course the other engineer buggering up the first motor), its no crime, we all have to start somewhere.

SO have a think dont panic it can be sorted.

Ps I had a little success this week at getting an old appliance into the kitchen.........weve had a Siemens Jug Kettle for about 5 years.......but it has packed up (HOORAH!).......not a bad life for a modern one i suppose.......my response was to nip up into the loft and drag out me old RUSSEL HOBBS automatic jobby..........yeaaaa......lovely lovely.......and so far it has been accepted into the kitchen with a few positive comments being made about it........ so yerr never that Bosch washing machine might die soon

Anyways speak soon

Thanks Gary for the reply... I will perceivere with it.

Today it isnt doing it at all, maybe it was just a very heavy load, it had a blanket in it at the time.

Has done another load today and I couldnt hear it.

I have messaged Mark via email but awaiting a respone from him still.

Do you have his phone number, I had it but have lost it.

Thanks.

Hi Richard,
Before you go ordering parts try removing the belt then run the machine on a spin.
This will at least eliminate any drum problems and isolate the motor as being at fault.
Keep in mind these motors are scratchy anyway.

Hi Bertrum.

The drum is fine, no worries at all there.

I was just concerned because it was making the noise louder in one direction than the other.

Its now back to normal it seems.
