Hoover washing machine
Fault
The motor could be heard running, but the washing-machine drum stayed still.
- Assessment
- The pulley was loose on its shaft, with stripped plastic splines. The motor and belt were running, but they could no longer drive the drum.
- Work
- We fitted a replacement pulley, cleaned and secured its retaining bolt with suitable thread-locking compound, then aligned the belt.
- Parts
- Drum pulley and thread-locking compound.
Checks and outcome
Hand-turning the drum confirmed that the belt tracked centrally. After the compound had cured, a wash and spin test showed correct drive without slipping or knocking.
