We have just bought a new Hoover H-Wash & Dry 350, i have removed all the transport bolts and done what is said in the manual.

We have used the machine a few times but i had to pull the machine out from where it is to retrieve a toy our grandson rolled under the machine, to get it out i had to tip it back to pull out and from the bottom a large bit of foam fell out, now i dont know is this supposed to be somewhere or is this some form of packing that need to come out anyway. ????

I have attached a pic of this part to this thread.

Can anyone tell me do i need this ??? if so where does it go ??? if not can i bin it ????

Many Thanks

Foam packing fell from new Hoover H-Wash & Dry 350 after moving machine

The problem
After a new Hoover H-Wash & Dry 350 was tipped back to pull it out, a large foam/polystyrene piece fell from underneath. The user wanted to know whether it was a required part or transit/installation packing.
Likely cause
The foam piece was identified in the discussion as packaging/polystyrene packing that should have been removed during installation.
What fixed it
Remove the foam piece and discard it. It was described as installation packaging rather than a functional machine part.
Checks to try
  • Transport bolts had already been removed
  • Foam/polystyrene piece fell from the bottom of the machine after it was tipped back

Old post but worth a reply. This piece of polystyrenne was supposed to have been removed upon installation of the machine. Used to get this very often but on Bekos too- folks so keen to get "going" with their new possession / contraption that they didn`t read the installation sheet!To answer the question: remove it and discard.
