Anyone service Hoover washing machines?

** What the heck do you think this NG is about?

At the very LEAST your heading should be prefaced with "OT".

Hey Toaster Boi! When has it ever stopped you starting a totally irrelevant and OT discussion? (with or without the OT prefix) People in rented glass bed-sits........

Pot kettle toaster black!

We've got the same problem - haven't done anything about it yet. There used to be stuff for repairing poreclain / cast iron baths, that may be useful if it's still available. Probably worth rust fix / ranex / phophoric acid treating the bare metal first.

I think Phil must use a laundromat on the weeks he remembers to wash.

If the rust is neutralised properly then 2 pack epoxy paint should be fine, maybe bake it dry with a hairdryer beforehand. Some of those impeller retaining nuts are left hand thread too, so be careful.

Phil just wears his first half/second of the week clothes clothes in the shower to save time.

** Thanx for the cool painting tips .

** Got my own machine - a Simpson Esprit - seems to be pretty much made out of rust proof, sturdy, white plastic.

....... Phil ;-)

Yes, SO sorry phil, I had meant to put "OT", but got distracted and realised as I hit send. Please forgive me, O king of usenet.

... : )

Yes, I realised as soon as I hit that send key without putting "OT", he wouldn't be able to resist. Ah well, at least if the fleas are biting you, you know you're still alive.

Thanks, Rob & Mark. So the agitators can be removed? (I was told by a Hoover guy some years ago they are easy to break. Any hints to getting it out without damaging it?)

These two machines on ebay are of a similar circa, if vintage matters:

Thanks again...

***** Of course they can,how do you think the manufacturer put the bloody thing together?

**** If the Hoover guy told you to go and lie in the road would you do that too?

*****You haven't got the foggiest notion of what you are doing,have you? I would suggest you either get a QUALIFIED service person in or take the risk yourself.Perhaps you might just learn something.

Ah, Phil and R. Speed have found a sole-mate I see.

You are in such a hurry to get your troll-jollies for the day, you haven't even applied the 50-year old saying correctly.

[Yawn.] Do grow up, or find something useful to do. Better to keep your silence and let people wonder if you are a big-mouthed fool, rather than prove it so.

***You still haven't got the foggiest notion of what you are doing,have you. Did you practice taking the agitator off the machine or did you get agitated and rush into print on your computer? The answer is obvious.

***** At least I know how to get the agitator off the washing machine and I dont post OT !
