That revealed a weakness with these machines in that you can't drain the tub like you can in the Hoover (by lowering the drain hose) without the wash pump running. Anyway, I got I up and running again and was making good progress until the electric kept tripping. A screw holding the wash deck on was missing and this was dripping water onto the motor coils which in turn stopped the spin motor from starting once I dried the inside enough to keep the electric on. Happy to report that it is now all sorted out.
Here it is all up and running and ready for a good clean. Will have to get round to doing some videos next time it is out of the shed S |

Thanks Craig. I've had great fun washing with this twinny which is down in the kitchen so I've been using it for the last few weeks.
Anyway before I got stuck into the Quartz issues, I decided to drag the 9404 out of the shed seeing as I'd sourced a second hand wash pump. However, on close inspection I think I need to look at the wash gearbox before I add oil as there is quite a bit of play in the drive shaft. Are the gearboxes sealed units or can you take them apart like you can on the top loaders? I have a service manual for the machine as a whole but it looks quite time consuming to take is out as you have to take the cabinet off so I gave up. |
