Hoover Vision Hd 9Kg 1600 Goes Bang!?
Hi, I have a Hoover Vision HD 9kg 1600 A+AA Super Silent Washing Machine. The machine started making a horrible banging noise and then went BANG! So I moved it out and opened the panel at the back to find the belt had come off and got tangled up with all the wiring mainly to the motor and has ripped all the wiring off so I now do not have any idea what goes where! I can get a replacement belt and fit it myself I just need a wiring diagram, a picture or even a video of the back of my machine so I can fix this as well but can't find anything online so far....
Any ideas??
Thanks, Jason

This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.
Hoover Vision HD 9kg 1600 belt came off and tore motor wiring
- The problem
- The washing machine made a loud banging noise, then the drive belt came off and became tangled in the wiring at the rear, ripping off wiring mainly connected to the motor. The owner wanted a wiring diagram or rear layout to reconnect it.
- Likely cause
- The accepted reply says a belt usually does not come off without a reason. The strongest suggested causes were worn or collapsed drum bearings allowing the drum pulley to move, or a loose drum pulley throwing the belt off. The exact cause was not confirmed.
- What fixed it
- No wiring diagram or confirmed rewiring method was provided. The accepted advice was to first establish why the belt came off before attempting repair, particularly by checking for failed drum bearings or a loose drum pulley, because if the bearings have failed the machine may not be worth repairing. Exact repair was not confirmed.
- Checks to try
- Check whether the drum bearings have gone
- Check if the machine had been noisy recently
- Check whether the drum pulley is moving due to worn bearings
- Check whether the drum pulley has come loose
- Parts or tools mentioned
- Replacement belt
Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

Unfortunately that sort of information isn't easily found as you've discovered. Most manufacturers don't release wiring diagrams, and many white goods engineers don't even have wiring diagrams because apart from incidents like you describe (which are rare) you virtually never need to use one.
Before going much further though I would make sure that the drum bearings haven't gone. It is quite unusual for a drive belt to just come off for no reason. It can happen, but it is also often caused when the drum pulley starts to move if the drum bearings are wearing or have collapsed. (Has the washing machine been noisy recently?) Sometimes a drum pulley can come loose on its own throwing off the belt. You need to try and establish why the belt has come off because if the drum bearings have gone the washing machine maybe scrap anyway and your search for a wiring diagram becomes unnecessary. Check out this article to see if you can see any reason - belt comes off
