After a year & 3months of faithful no problematic service. my faithful hoover logic is very ill. Jon & myself were havin a lil wash in the logic was halfway through the main cycle when; It began creating a burning smell & varying tumble speed. e.g when turnin anti-clockwise, it will either...tumble normally & throw everythin into distribution & slow back down again...or will struggle to turn if at all....& then when we ran it through a separate spin it didnt distribute at the right speed spun particularly slow. Now im suspecting module problems & a burntout motor...anyone with any ideas throw them away...but now i'm in a postion where i ask myself....when is enough enough? i love this machine to bits. but do i spend a large amount of money on repairing it or do i replace it? any advice is more than welcome.

Hey Jon boy dont be givin Darren any ideas about overseas vintage, he needs the British Classics first....Lol and as he has a Quartz and the Hoover, you are doin well, I would say stick with it, its always difficult when you have a new machine, we want it pristine, all working n washing...well even new machines sometimes come out the box not working... It does sound like a speed controller problem, I thought SparkyCMRU was helping out with replacement boards etc??, are you sure its the motor and not the speed card thats the problem??, it could have shorted a circuit on the board and be fried etc...are there any signs of burnt patches on the board?? Do this simple tick list test. Does it Fill Does it heat does it tumble wash does it pumpout does it spin repeat rinse final spin At what point do you notice it fails to "function normally", make a note for a thorough diagnosis.. See the link to appliance service, its a very good site. Let us know and see what happens.... CLICK HERE TO GO TO chestermikeuk's LINK |
