Hoover electronic 1100

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

Just checked on hoover spares website as well.

They have the same motor listed for the logics as the a3110.

Same part number so surely this would have been the case if I would have had bought from elsewhere.

Starting to wish I had bought just the armature.



See there the same!
 
Dont Panick

Richard dont panick

this motor will fit your machine, all that has to be done is the wiring, any competant enigneer can sort that out for you........

All that happened was Hoover ceased production of the old style motor (the one in your machine) and went over to this style of motor which was cheaper to produce, it can be retrofitted to your machine as I said.

I am only sorry i am not closer to help you out.

Hey Richard,

I'd offer to come help you out if I knew what I was doing. I wouldn't know where to begin to change the motor. It does sound like the engineer is ripping you off slightly though. Maybe you should try shopping around?
 
Repair guy...

..my Mum has used a guy called Washer Doc for YEARS and he's always been pretty good. He's based in Bradford, but I'm sure he wouldn't mind driving over to Crossgates. He's on 07973 754485. Worth ringing for a quote maybe?
 
Thanks for all your help so far and or the number aquacycle. What's your mums name so I can tell him who recommended me when I give him a call.

Thing is not really sure if it's worth taking armaturee out of new one and messing about with it cos I've then spent 40 quid extra on the motor just to get the armature. Whilst it will fit it's prob gonna be more of a faf to mess about.

Some people have said to sell the logic motor as I had been offered a "good" 1100 motor off of mark on eBay for 45 Inc postage. They suggested this as it's not neat to have cables soldiered etc but as long as it's safe and works I'm not fussed really.
 
Marks Motor

Hello Richard

If the motor supplier is MarknRosemary in Norfolk you can trust him.
He is an excellent engineer in all respects. this will sove all your motor problems

It is a pity you didnt ask us before buying the Logic motor, but hey ho you live and learn

Lets hope this all works out for you now.

Gary
 
Dont suppose you have a contact number for mark n rosemary as I have messaged him the other day but he hasnt gotten back to me yet.

I disagree this sounds a very reasonable price. I would personally want more for doing this job for a customer.

Back to if it can be done? it probably can but I have only ever replaced the armature on these.

Is there even a conversion kit? never seen one, doubt one was ever produced by hoover. No need to produce a conversion kit when all the parts for these old motors are repairable and still available.

Has anyone ever fitted a logic motor to an electronic? you may be the first so photograph and show us the results!.

good luck.

(also may be an idea to post the question about the conversion kit to www.ukwhitegoods.co.uk. Its a forum for appliance repairs. May be a old Hoover engineer who knows more about this than us?)
 
In response to Bertrum, i think the guy that set up www.washerhelp.co.uk was a Hoover engineer for years - not sure if the two websites are linked, but might be worth a post on that website?

I personally wouldn't give up on the machine if id done what youve done so far Richard. Just sell on the Logic motor, it's probably in reasonable demand, and opt for the more straightforward job of putting the 'good' 1100 motor in, especially as the seller is recomended by guys on here.

Got my door trim

Hey guys.

Received my door trim this morning and ive stuck it on, machine looks like new to be fair, I also took the opportunity to give it a good clean up on the front cleaning between all the buttons and timer etc.

This afternoon before I put a wash on I have cleaned the sump out, picture attached of what was in the sump! 1 large piece of metal and 4 small fragments of metal... does anyone recognise these from inside the drum? Hope its not falling apart lol...

Also see the video attached... whilst the machine tumbles ok clockwise the noise that I have described several times above in the posts can be clearly heard when it tumbles anti clockwise.



Enjoy...

Wow

Hi Richard, well you can safely say it sounds like no other Hoover heard before!!, the only time I ever heard that was on a machine that the heater mounting bracket had come undone and the heater was rattling!!! (not for long before it shorted) given what you found in the pump and the noise I hasten to think what it might be, cant find a pic of an inside to check, but the repairers here will confirm if that metal could be a mounting bracket!!

Theres definately something rattling!!, have you checked wires & hoses nr the motor / pump / pulley?? to make sure nothing is catching!!

For a vintage machine that does appear to be a full load, used like that every day will wear it out quickly, I would advise lowering the load so you have a good drop and flop motion!!

Good luck, Mike
 
Hi Mike

The load thats in now is towels and this video was taken after the sump had been emptied. I am assuming it came from something inside the drum, whether or not it was in some trouser pockets or something who knows... maybe someone could identify it... the smaller pieces I am thinking broke off the bigger piece...

The noise gets even worse when it spins, I will take a video then, but when you compare it to Electrons videos his doesnt have that noise, its so loud you have to shut the door.

As mentioned previously the drum is one of the new drums with the Turquoise paddles on, this should only be 10yrs old but one lady owner old lady at that, has meant this is why the machine is looking so good.

THe motor which is going to be replaced soon will mean that the main moving parts will have been replaced and therefore I think it should be able to handle normal loads?

The suspension is in great condition... it doesnt even shake really on the 800 spin unless unbalanced.
 
Those parts have been there ages, the engineer who visited has identified the noise and its the motor.

The armature in fact or something around that, he took the belt off and put it onto a spin and the motor is the thing making the noise, the pump is old and rattly anyway but is smooth and working fine and not leaking so not going to replace that at the moment.

He has said I could put up with the noise, I wouldnt say its getting any louder I would just say its more noticeable everytime now.
