Hoover Nextra 6Kgaaa1600 Not Starting A Wash

All sounds a bit weird Steven. Let us know what happens.

Hi Andy, apologies have been working away from home. Well the repair man came during the week and said that the motor brushes needed replacing, the machine is about 6 yrs or so old, so he changed the brushes, after having to take the motor out to do so!, and set it on a long wash cycle, to bed the brushes in.

However, my wife called me later that day to tell me that although the machine ran, it still would not complete a fast spin cycle. So, the repair man is coming back on Saturday to have another look, hopefully not for another call out charge. Am thinking it is looking more and more like a control problem, which would be expensive, so depending on verdict on sat morn, I may be washing machine shopping on sat aft!!.

Thanks for the tips,

Steven

Hell Steven. Yes the interlock is what the door catch pushes into to tell the machine the door is closed. Make absolutely sure the power is disconnected before messing with it as the main power goes to the door interlock waiting to be passed onto the rest of the machine when the door is detected to be closed.

Got to go out now, had a look and suppose the interlock is behind the latch, will look for the interlock when I get back, the front panel doesn't come off on this Hoover model, so will have to take off the top lid and try to reach the interlock from there.

Hi Andy, thanks for the comments. I thought I had drained all the water but I did notice a little water on the floor afterwards, near where the top of the machine had been!.

Silly question time, but where is the interlock assy located, and where does it get its signal from?. The door seal looks ok. It's a new one (3-4) months old, eng fitted it after a bra wire problem wrecked the original door seal (Tip for the day was always use one of those little net wash bags for them) :-)
