Last year Richard (Richard1983) from Leeds UK posted about his Hoover 1980`s A3110 washing machine started to have a few issue, pump, leaks, suspension and then timer sticking issues, we where going to get him along at the next meet up but having thought about it on a busy weekend it would be difficult to concentrate on getting it fixed and not enjoy the fun and distractions - so we arranged to get it down to Cardiff at Dr Mathews (keymatic3203) along with timer surgeon Gary (Electron1100) and scrub nurse Lee (hotpoint95622)in order to give the old girl a full service!!
The Hoover A3110 Automatic washing Machine was produced in 1980 and was the 2nd generation of 1100rpm fast spinning machines, 10lb washload, hot & cold fill, 3 spin speeds 500 for delicates, 800 woollens, 1100 cottons, vitreous enamel outer drum, stainless steel inner, 3 compartment dispenser for pre-wash, main wash powder and fabric conditioner.

Meanwile Dr Matt gets ready to remove the backplate and inner drum which where a replacement from the later Logic series done some years ago by the previous owner, these could be purchased complete with drum, spider , backplate and bearings from Hoover as a complete unit - the bearings did not require replacement!!

Hello Ian, glad you are cracking on with it, they are certainly worth repairing, and yes that top front spring had me baffled as well, all is not straight in Hooverland but works well,
And for those enquiring about the two knibs on the drum top - these are the grip points for the overhead hoist when dipping the tubs in enamel paint prior to firing!! Morning Nurse Lee, normal Oovah service is being resumed!! |

And the timer can now be mounted in its place, all connections on the near side panel complete!!
We do take these marvelous timers for granted, Dr Zeus was explaining how they are built, all the sectional "8 Cams" can be identified and are clamped together and the on / off imputs and connections shown accordingly!! "The Secret Life of The Washing Machine" by Rex Goddard and Tim Hunkin explains this beautifully - and its a Hoover Matchbox Crouzet Timer.. CLICK HERE TO GO TO chestermikeuk's LINK |

Dinner is served, feel free to comment on this thread up to here, I will start part 2 on a fresh thread and link it together so the photos will load in a timely fashion.
Thank You for not disturbing the picture thread whilst I was building it - unlike another thread last night that was photobombed all the way through - no names mentioned - Ahem, Coughs!! |
