As fantastic as it is cosmetically it does sadly have a few "issues"- believe me the customer wouldnt have got rid of it if it didnt as it matched her kitchen lol.. 1. It needs suspension replacement- pretty usual on fast spin Hoovers of this age.... 2. The backplate seal needs replacing. 3. The bearings will need replacement at some point in the not too distant future as there is a very small amount of play in them. As long as Qualtex come through with the kit they will be done at the same time as the backplate seal. On the subject of bearings the kit for this and all 1200/1300 spin Logics/Ecologics is obsolete from Hoover as genuine and all our suppliers except Qualtex as pattern- suffice to say ive ordered a couple lol....

Hi Seamus. Nice One ! I used to have the Hoover Logic 1300 W/D in white with grey fascia..some -20 yrs ago. The programmer used to "cick" around until it found its place. Nice machine... Regards. Louis. |

Hey Guys Should get these tomorrow, Ive ordered 2 sets so will have a spare :) Paul Yup you may want to start stocking up on spares. As well as the bearings I believe the sump hose is NLA as Genuine (The later type with the pressure switch fitting is though - I take it your version has this type as thats what Matts A3590 is fitted with ). At the end of the day I guess in Hoovers reckoning its a 21 year old machine so people wont be needing parts. As bad as this is things are going to be a lot worse for collectors in the future. An example of this would be a customer I served a week or so ago, he wanted a door seal for a Creda dryer that was just over 5 years old. Not only was the seal attached to the front panel so the entire assembly would have required replacement at a cost of £65 odd but it was obsolete with no alternative. Suffice to say hes never going to buy another Indesit Co appliance....... This will be a long term project as I really have a lot going on in my life at the mo and cant spare the time currently :(. At the weekend it will be moved to the kitchen alongside the A3308 and the Insight /Zanussi dryer will be stacked in the bathroom on the worktop offcut the Logic is on in the pics (yes I know they shouldnt be in there but they will be connected to an RCD adaptor and I think im sensible enough not to touch when im in the shower lol!!!) Seamus P.S Im guessing Nov 1988 is pretty late foer a Logic- surely the Ecologics must have made an appearence pretty soon after??? |

The Ecologic didn't debut until 1991, and I believe the Logic range was introduced in 87ish. You can't help but love these machines! Matt |

I used to use the delay start as a sort of long soak before washing, i would let the program begin (fill with water) and then set the delay start and come home from work and it was all done. Mine had the digital read out, always thoought it looked good. Louis Thats something i never thought about as mine was a washer only, so does the washer/dryer not slow tumble the clothes after spinning and then go into the drying mode? Paul & Rob Two days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gary |

Congratulations on your new machine. It is beautiful and I am sure that when you fix it up it will be beautiful for many years yet! |

Hello Louis The logic range did not have a spin balance control (where as the computer control A3308/3684 did) What they fitted was a balance switch, if the drum shook too much the switch would make contact and this would cause the motor too slow down until the balance switch stopped making contact.........a sort of feeble attempt at prolonging the life of the bearings. Deplastering was a feature on some of the early machines, maybe Hoover ran out of click positions on the programmer to have this feature, i cant say i can remember mine slow tumbling now...... PAUL Even less now! Gary |
