I'm so sorry i just had post this

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

Help Support :

im sorry but this is just happening too much lately with Hoover/Candy machines, they need to think about a major recall of machines that may suffer with this issue... what are they waiting for someone to be killed before they do something??
 
Maybe these machines are gonna reach their end of life in this way, rather than PCB or bearings like most other modern ones.

I've no confidence in Hoover/Candy's same one-line response at all anymore. Thankfully the only Hoover/Candy appliance in our close and extended family is a Candy Activa Smart washer from (incidently) 2009, which doesn't appear to be affected, but i wouldn't go near any of their miserable products for a long, long time after this - not because of the fault because any machine can go wrong, but because of their shameful response.

wow me i think i do not know these brands as they are inexistant in canada but they need to do something like send a massive recall letter asking consumers having the concern brands to check there model and serial numbers to see if its one of the affected models and send a tech for a free repair or inspection of the defective washer even if its out of warrenty and if its impossible to repair at least replace free of charge the faulty machine by the most recent model free of charge or a similar model close to what they have even if its another brand. If this was my whirlpool duet washer i would call the tech service and the consummers head office and complain about this. sorry in advance if i am offending anyone but in my eyes this will lower the chance of this brand selling in local markets.
 
Sorry for the double post *mods can merge this post with my

Sorry for double posting but what makes me sad after seeing this type of post is what cause most washing machines makers to eather close down there plants or merge with other company i will use as an exemple 2 companys that makes washer dryer for canada and the us

as you all know the maytag company was bought by whirlpool force merger in that case and during the process i had bought for my mom a maytag front load washer this model to be precise see picture included and while i was looking on the maytag website i found out that there was a recall for this particular model i call my mom to let her know but it was a minor thing to fix witch my mom could fix her self the washer only needed an external plug to plug the washer to prevent an electrical fire my mom was lucky that it was not a whirlpool made model but back on topic this makes me sad also because now the maytags model of to days are to whirlpool like in desing and look when if whirlpool bought maytag toady they could at leas of keep the maytag desing for washer dryer sets. because if you look at my link you will notice that the cabinet is to whirlpool like. and the link is not the model washer in the picture the picture is there for reference to my exemple.

hello hotpointfan,

the best advice that i can give you at the moment is that maybe you should have a service tech have a look at your grandmother 's washer that would be step one and then step 2 would be to judge if its worth repairing or take your grandmother shoping for a new washing machine depending on the brand you would like for your grandmother here is a link included for reference

Hey guys!

pierreandreply4: I think I will get her to call the service man. I have taken her shopping to look at washers and she likes the new Hotpoints! I think the Bosch is too basic with only 5kg's and she has never owned a dryer.

aquarius8000: Got your email and have replyed!

Can you 2 please stop using the forum like bloody instant messenger!! Stop posting messages that just say "e-mailed you" or, like above "do you like my new pic?". Neither of these comments have ANY relevance to the topic at hand and it's very distracting, not to mention clogging up the forum with unnecessary rubbish - a website will only hold so much! Give it a rest and keep private conversations private - what do you think e-mails were designed for!? USE THEM.

*rant over and back on topic*

This is getting ridiculous. It's such a shame to see Hoover appliances like this, as they were once top of their game. How many more exploding machines will it take before Candy issue a product recall like Bosch and Beko have had to do recently? Not that I am defending either of those companies for their issues, but at least they identified the problem and did a full recall. Come on Candy, get your fingers out!
 
I have every confidence in my Hoover Auto Washer. So much so that i put it on most mornings before i set off to work & just leave it to do it's job. If i was remotely concerned which i am not i would not do it.
 
This is getting a bit annoying

Hoover, Candy, Indesit and Hotpoint all need to pull their fingers out and do a recall before someone gets killed! Obviously they've identified that machines made before September 2009 which should be the basis of recall, any machine made before this time (identifable by serial or batch no.) should be modified. Terrible shame about these companies

@optima- I don't totally hate hoovers, the one in your profile pic is from the last decent Hoover range (even though they were made by Candy, Candy did make good machines) a relative had that washer dryer for 10 years and got rid to get a new kitchen, I'd also never heard of the drying cycle failing, despite filling the machine to to brim to wash and dry!

@everyone having the barney about the postings-yes it is annoying especially these one liner posts, my posts are often mini blogs! I tend to stay away from the threads as it gets pretty heated up, maybe AW.org should consider opening a chatroom for live discussion instead of using the forum to communicate.
 
@aquacycle...

No, it was the WA110 Hoover Performa washer dryer, just a few minutes ago Optima had its picture up but must have changed it since then...
 
Candy

Ultimafan.

I just get a tad fed up with all the negativity on Candy machines. We sell Hoover -Candy products & we sell alot of them. On the reliabily front we have not had an exploding drum let alone a breakdown call out for a long time.

Oh a AW.ORG live chatroom that would be fun but it could get nasty.
 
AquaCycle is on the right track

That's right... 10 years ago Hoover had the 'Six' range which was replaced in 2004 by Hoover Nextra (the one I currently have). I don't have any experience with the 'Six' range but I have plenty with Nextra and I can positivily vouch for every cubic millimetre of its realms of existence... and I feel confident enough to say that it's a monster of reliabilty and performance.

That's the reason why I have hard time believing that contemporary Candy/Hoover machines (GrandO/Vision series) have degenerated so drastically in terms of quality and reliability... as some on this forum make out to be. I have seen and experienced some of these newer models in the act, but not on a daily basis, and still they haven't made a strong impression on me as being so different from my faithful little monster.

As for the drum explosions... the evidence we've seen speaks louder than words, it would certainly be nice to get a feeling of reassurance from a company about their post-sales practices... it would no doubt make an existing Hoover/Candy owner feel proud of their choice! Yet I personally feel I am not in possession of a comprehensive account of the state of knowledge and understanding behind these happenings... and possibly neither are most of you!
