what kind of drain pump system does your hoover have? is it the old kind of drain pump, that flips the inner "plungers" from the spinner side & the washtub side (in the upper part of the drain pump)? or is it the newer style of drain pump, that has the "pinch valve" system?
as for checking to see if the pump itself is "frozen", i think you can check that, before you even get the belt, by trying to turn the pulley by hand (while the machine is unplugged), to see if you can turn the pump's pulley, easily by hand. i THINK if the pulley turns easily, than the pump isn't "frozen". if you can't turn the pulley, then the pump could be "frozen". i think that should be easy for you to check. i think launderess has a book that might be able to tell you which color of stretch belt you need for your 0515 drain pump to motor? i wonder if you could google that information?? from what i've found on google, i think your hoover 0515 has the later style of drain pump with the "pinch valve" (i think that's what it's called?). i am not familiar with that kind of drain pump. :o( i had a hoover 0510 with the older style drain pump. and as of right now, i can't rememeber which color the 0510 used, but i'm thinking mine used the "blue" splotched belt? :o/ |
