I removed the sump hose (because it was leaking) from my Hoover A0093 washing machine but stupidly forgot to note how the inside bits fitted together. These consist of an inner cup/hose and a float (a green, light ball). How do they fit? Starting from the top, is it ball, cup, sump hose; or cup, ball, sump hose? And does the cup have the smaller hole at the top or bottom?
Thankyou anybody who replies.

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
- Parts or tools mentioned
- sump hose
- inner cup/hose
- green float ball

It's amazing how easy it is to forget something which when looking at it seems dead easy to remember, I've done it myself which is why I wrote this tip about taking a photo of parts just the other day.
The ball acts as a float switch. As water first enters the machine it goes into the sump hose and as it rises the ball should float up and seal off the sump hose from the tub. Hopefully you can work it out from that. The larger side of the cup presumably fits the ball perfectly and creates a seal so presumably it wants to be facing the ball?
