Thats ame thing happened to my grans hoover logic 1200, she got scared it'd set up on fire! The first time she smelt and heard it she said i'm not letting the final spin reach 1200, she let it spin for about 10 seconds and turned it off, she was scared! Then i told her ok, you don't want to use it anymore, then i'll do your washing in my hotpoint aquarius wma58. Then I chose the LG for her, well due to her habit since being young she washes and scrubs mainly all clothes by hand then washes them, in the logic she did that and used program J all the time minimum iron 50oc and when it got on crease guard she'd put it on F which was special treatments (final rinse) with 1200 spin! | ||

lol, sounds like it was a little more severe than mine is at How old was your grans machine when this happened? There's no way I'm giving up on this machine, it can break down all it wants, it WILL be repaired lol. Matt | ||

She told me she bought it when it came out new! I wasn't around then so don't know! LoL No repairs in it's lifetime and was thrown away in 2006. So how long would that be? And by the way my grandads brothers got a very old a3190 and it still works but often becomes unbalanced, they may scrap it when they renovate their antique kitchen and plus they just live 2 doors away! I'm always there, it's a cool machine though! LoL :) | ||

yes Matt I'll tell my grandad's bro not to throw that washer away, although it's had 4 or 5 repairs in its lifetime the a3190 is a great machine! His wife she stops the machine when clothes have got in a ball and opens it up and loosens everything up and puts it back exactly where it was in the cycle. She only uses the woolens program, which spins at 800pm but she says 1100rpm makes it shake too much and it's too loud, but the woolens wash is also great as thats the only cycle i can see! LoL I really hope you get help for your ecologic, If i could i'd love to! | ||

nosey motor
Hello Matt Taking a stab at the fault from the symptons you describe i would say its the motor brushes. You can get these very cheaply on ebay.....all the logic range of machines used the same motor The only other possibility could be the drive belt if it is badly worn and frade......but my guess would be the brushes, they easy to change providing you can get the machine on it side to gain access to the motor Heres a link to some Gary CLICK HERE TO GO TO electron1100's LINK on eBay | ||

hello electron 1100 (Gary) is that right? By the way there is a misunderstanding lol, my name is not matt i thought it was yours, my name is eby. Well thats wat im known as! Yeah it was the motor that was nearly gone aswell as the brushes, we tried but it was jammed in, a few people tried but it was stuck so we had to get rid of it. It would have lasted a little longer as the motor had about a couple more months. If someone gave me a very good condition hoover logic or ecologic with minimum 1200 spin then i'd buy it or a hotpoint 9534 100 spin. They're the best! LoL

i was going to get the above machine which is an ecologic with 1300spin, slightly different to yours as this is the thumb slider version, all cousins and relatives had the 1200 or 1300 versions. Everyone had them till a couple of years ago then everyone threw them away. The pic below, just thought i'd post it anyway: I got it from here.

hi electron 1100 (Matt) Yeah the woolens program isn't very active, i find the rinses very inactive short tumbles long rests, but when it distributes i think they get rinsed properly as the water is still in drum! Why can't newer machine do ditribution drain? (I'd like that, but with strong suspension not plastic) Yeah matt i think it should fine as long as too much pressure is not given to it. | ||

it was the carbon brushes It was a local repairman I had come out to it, same one who fixed the pump. There's a lovely story behind the shop. I remeber going in and getting bits and pieces for our vac's from the original owner. CLICK HERE TO GO TO electron800's LINK | ||
