Today I got my new HooverMatic DeLuxe. It is a T5004, but I'n not sure wich year it is from! The serials are: 500470807694

This is in awesome shape! It's nearly like new, and is only used a few moths when it was new! Almost unused!

how I love them and it's got the much coveted fill port for the power spray rinse!

What is the orange switch on the faceplate for?

Lake Erie right now looks just like Norway. Cheers !

It's to open the spinlid. I have a T5090, and a 3125L too!;)

Ha! My gran's second twintub!

To stop the spinner: lift and release the orange latch.
When stationary, lift again to release lid.

The Hoover machines were great appliances.

That was my Mum's last twin tub before she went automatic. If you lift the spin catch twice in rapid succession, you should be able to get the lid open without having to wait for it to stop. I discovered that by accident on my mother's - it might not work on that one but worth a try. Lovely looking machine and of course, a superbly fast machine for doing laundry with.

Hi Tom, welcome to the club from me, a fab range of appliances you have there,the one thing Hoover was not afraid of was colour!!!, although this model was very prone to having tantrums with that spinner interlock, heres my T5024 being filmed from the inside...love the fill flume on these like the 3314 etc...

Not called SplashMatic for nothing, these machines give you plenty of "Water Drama", deep sinks and hoses held down are a must!!!

Enjoy, Mike

T5004

I've checked the machine today, and it's the hose wich goes from the "waterhole" to the "filler" that is worn. It was really bad! But the rest of the machine is beautyful! And the pump needs a new belt, but I have alot of brand new Hoover belts, so I'll fix that.

Spin interlock problems

Hoovermatic:
You are perfectly correct, if you impatiently jiggled the lever, the lid could open and the motor continued to spin. Must have been a flawed design.
