I was wondering about the pump too, 2-3 minutes seems to be a long time to pump the wash tub, it's usually nearer to 60 seconds isn't it? Ian. |

The pump does have quite an effect on the motor - it's quite easy to service but easier to remove it first. It splits into 3 sections and it's usually the bottom one that causes the issues with lint getting stuck around the base of the impellor and soap powder crud. I've attached a pic of it from one of the earlier models - the design didn't change in years.
The rinse facility works via the pressure switch. When the water level gets to around the base of the spin can, the switch will make and run the spinner until the level drops - the important thing is not to have the water on too fast so that the pump can't cope. It shouldn't overflow as long as you don't operate the spin stop lever without opening and closing the lid again. It might also be worth checking the spin motor brushes to check their length and condition. These motors do get quite warm in use and there is often a warm smell from the machine which is usually nothing to worry about. If there was a serious issue then the motor overload would kick in. Happy washing S |

Hi Rebecca, glad you are getting sorted with your new Hoovermatic, all great responses above. I would use "Automatic" low foaming powder to give great results without the high sudz that Twintub powders can usually do, this will cut down the rinsing considerably, with rinsing I find if soapy do a manual rinse, soak the clothes and a quick spin inbetween does it, then final long spin, then switch to autorinse..
The rinse flow should be controlled so that the flow is over the clothes on the far side of the spincan and that no excess water is coming out of the hose on the tap adaptor.. Heres a few pics from the previous model instructions which are the same... |
