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). |

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? |
