I have a Hoover 3022a - and was wondering if anyone knew where I could source an Owners Manual, and/or a Service Manual of any sort? Would be much appreciated Moot

Hi Moot. Please can you post a picture of the front of the machine, just to confirm what the machine is. Hopefully will be able to help, if my suspicions are correct. Regards Paul |

It suggests that it is a 'vintage dryer'. |

Yes, it is a dryer. I tried to edit the post and add more pics, but couldn't as I am a Novice... :-(.... But now I think I can as a reply. |

Version 1 with the half panel console looks very odd. Were there substantial differences internally? |

Hi Rolls Rapide. The differences were to do with the bearings, both front and back and the motor. Hopefully its legible in my previous image - fingers crossed. |

.... but will equally apply to model 3022A as differences were mechanical, rather than performance .... |

Yes - thanks! Legible, and understandable - from the time when Hoover was open and honest with its information. Pity the same can't be said of the modern company...! (and I speak from recent experience). |

Below is a link to an old thread set up by forum member 'Crouzet951' containing lots of Hoover Australia brochures (shows the upload quality of the images you used to be able to achieve!) ... CLICK HERE TO GO TO matchboxpaul's LINK |

Hope the above helps with the background to your 3022A, Martin. Thanks for posting the picture of your machine and welcome to the forum. Regards Paul |

How did Hoover come by the design of their first dryer, model 3020? The English Electric 'copy'... Did they buy it in? |
