A dozen or so washes down the line, and the machine is as dead as the proverbial doornail. I can't fathom it - it went through a normal wash to the end, then next time .... nothing. No lights, no action, just a big zero. I've tried: 1. socket is OK 2. fuse is OK 3. leaning on...

Dammit, you guys are the best!! I would have bet good money (if I had some!) that if it could get half-way through the cycle then at least the motor (+brushes) were OK. Well, one set of carbon brushes later and our washing is up-to-date again and all is peaceful again in the kitchen. I...

Blimey, this is a level detail I wasn't expecting! No marks on the armature (to my unpractised eye). One of the brush faces is shinier than the other, but both have a very distinct, very shiney band about 1mm wide going across the middle of the contact surface. I'll have a look for some...

Can't help checking for spares before I take anything apart! I've got the brushes off but they don't look too bad to me - about 1cm of carbon showing otside the holder bit. I can't see any marks on them to say when they need replacing - is 1cm still good or bordering on needing replacing?

Don't know if its just me, but I can't find a single dealer stocking carbon brushes that will fit a hf110m. Is this model completely obsolete (it seems that I can buy most other bits for it) or are there any other models that are compatible? Thanks

Thanks - that sounds a promising avenue to explore. Is there a guide to locating / checking the brushes on a hoover anywhere - its my first time at this end of the washing machine!

Its about 8 years old. It doesn't have any leds on the front at all except the "door locked" one next to the "door open" button. It just has 6 buttons (mini-load, maxi-load, start, open door etc etc) a temperature dial and a program dial. I can't see anything flashing and when it stops there...

Hi, Our Hoover HF110M washing machine is starting to stick at the rinse cycle, but only on cotton washes (3 or 4) - never on coloured 5 onwards. The programmer stops half-way through rinsing and the machine stops completely, often with water in. If you turn it off and on again it will...
