Hey there, Ok just got a Hoovermatic Deluxe twin tub.. and was working fine for about 10 loads. then it stopped spinning. and motor smelt extremely bad.. will still wash. but no spin :-( Is there any suggestions on how to fix this? or where do i find parts for this machine? It stopped when i turned it to Empty Tub and put the last load in the spinner. and span fine, and drained but then it stopped spinning after :-S. So i turned it off and just left it..

Thanks Adam

According To Hoover:

"Spinner Fails To Rotate":

1. Lack of Current - Check wires from spinner terminal block to main switch and micro switch to be sure they are connected.

2. Belt - Check belt for looseness or breakage.

3. Micro Switch Linkage - Check linkage going to micro switch to be sure switch is being turned on when lid is closed. Adjust linkage as per service instructions.

4. Brake Failure - Check brake to make sure it is releasing when lid is closed. Adjust brake operating rod if necessary.

5. Spinner Pump - Check spinner pump for free movement. If frozen, dismantle and repair.

6. Spinner Motor - Connect test light between the white and black wires on spinner motor terminal block. Turn main switch on and if test light lights and motor does not run, the motor is bad. Dismantle m otor and check for bad armature, field coil, carbon brushes or bad bearings.

Well, there you have it. If you require the directions for removing any of the above mentioned parts such as motor, let me know.

As far as spares, you'll have to hunt around, but there are some out there. There are a few places in OZ and UK that still have MIB Hoover spares. You can find them on eBay. Pumps and motors are rare, with new motors VERY hard to come by. You may have to find another unit to break down, or perhaps someone will have a unit they are willing to do so for you, and or have done so already thus have a motor.

May one suggest you also check you the Yahoo.com groups for twin tubs. There is one just for Hoover TwinTubs, and another for twinnies in general. Both full of champion lads and lasses who are more than happy to help if they can. Both groups also have great archives and databases of useful information.

Spinnner Issues

Hey Laundress,

Ok i did another load in it, and this time was more interesting.. the motor caught on fire. quite scary actually. and now it wont spin or drain. The guy i bought it off is swapping it with the other one he had for sale.. though its not a deluxe no rinse. my nan use to have these. Strong machines.. so that should be sorted. i dont know whether i should continue to just wash and ring it out and hang it out. the pulsator still works :D i uploaded a photo of the one hes replacing my deluxe with
