Hoover A0093 sump hose float and cup reassembly query

The problem

The sump hose had been removed due to a leak on a Hoover A0093 washing machine, and the owner needed to know the correct order and orientation of the internal cup and green float ball when refitting it.

Likely cause

The discussion supports that the green ball is a float which rises with incoming water and seals the sump hose from the tub. The accepted reply suggests the cup should be oriented so its larger side faces the ball to form that seal. The exact assembly order was inferred rather than fully documented.

What fixed it

Use the float-ball function to determine the refit position: the ball needs to be able to rise with water and seal against the cup, so the cup should be fitted with its larger side facing the ball. The thread does not provide a fully explicit step-by-step order for all parts, but this explanation was accepted by the owner.

Checks to try

• Sump hose was removed because it was leaking
• Internal parts identified as an inner cup/hose and a green light ball
• Accepted explanation that the ball floats up as water rises and seals the sump hose from the tub
