So what do you think? Of the work done to the machine? Maiden Wash tomorrow! BTW: Is it normal for these machines to take a couple of minutes to drain the tub? The belt on the pump looks good to me and they are sturdy fibre type belts. I think they are indestructable. James. | ||

James---it looks GREAT! And I know they are fun to use. My Hoover takes about 2 minutes to drain the tub. Macboi on here is a Hoover expert, he can expalin different pumps used thru the years, but yours is very common timing for drianing.
Have fun on the maiden wash, congrats on the hard work-- Mark | ||

spinner tripping circuit breaker
Hi James,your a fast worker that was quick restoration ,well done.As regards for it tripping breaker a couple of things that i used to come across back in the day are .The wiring harness to spin motor runs accros close to spin can drive pulley and can rub on it also the terminals on the suppresor are very close together and can short out.Its rare for the motor to cause the problem as its not earthed and is supported on rubber mounts so efectivley double insulated.Hope tthis helps regards Nige.

Fault Finding
Hello James
Just a thought, before you go taking out the motor, can you just disconnect the motor (remove the two wires going to it) and see if when you close the lid it still throws the trip, if it does then your problem is not with the motor but with the wiring or a switch in the spinner circuit Obviously if doesnt throw trip then you might well have a short somewhere on the motor Gary | ||

Thanks for the replies... I took out the motor and it's a little dirty. The following pictures will help you determine the condition but I think it's ok. I'll check the wiring tomorrow. James.

RE; 3312L Manual Hi Paul, If you have it then it would be great to have a copy as it is better than nothing and they virtually identical. James. | ||

I don't know what to do now... Will I go ahead and find a new motor or is there anything I can do at this stage? James. | ||

Hello Luv!
According to my Hoover Service and Parts manual:
For twin tub washin gmachine models covered: MACHINE BLOWS FUSES: Possible Cause: Plug Outlet - Make sure the fuse or breaker box amphere rating is sufficient to handle total current drawn by all applications on the line. Terminal Block - Check the cord wires on the terminal block to make sure the hot wires are not contacting each other thus creating a short. Machine Wired Incorrectly - Check wriring diagram against actual wiring on the machine to make sure the machine is wired correctly. At this time you can also check for a possible bare wire that might be causing this trouble. | ||

Hoover Pump and Congrats
Yes James, I've been enjoying your posts quite the bit since you've tackled this machine. Sorry it has taken me so long to respond to the thread, I have not been around a whole lot. I envy you a bit as I wish we had the 3314L over here on our side of the pond, it's a perfect machine in many ways.
To address your question about the pump out time, it is a little excessive for your machine, but not terrible considering everything. Your machine is probably sucking a little air from the spinner side due to a brittle or unseated plunger in the pump valve. Also the rubber grommet on top of the pump where the selector rod goes in can suck air and leak water and cause this issue as well. On the US models, we have a pinch valve setup that leaves the spin port open all the time and the draining is 2-3 minutes. The older US models and most all European models, yours included, have a sealed suction setup where only one or the other can feed into the pump at a time with no air. This creates a much more powerful pumping action. Air in the system slows the water movement down considerably.
I think the new design for us was intentional as these machines were only used in small houses and apartments where there were no hookups for a full-size. Because of this, people often used the bathroom or other shallow sinks that, if draining the entire washtub into, could be overwhelmed and overflow. The constant air being mixed in from the spinner slowed the water coming out of the drain hose down considerably.
Good Luck and enjoy your new Hoover
