Hoover Performa 1100 full spin with dry or not?+ free manual

[Jim Curtis]

Hi, I've just recently acquired a Hoover Performa 1100.

Can anyboby tell me what this machine should do whilst drying? On both drying cycles the machine heats up but only seems to turn a couple of times each couple of minutes, so the clothes seems to come out full of steam and not fully dry.

Should the dry cycle consist of the drum turning all the time whilst drying?

Also does anyone know where I can obtain a free Hoover Performa 1100 manual (pdf etc)

Thanks in advance. Jim Curtis

I think you will find Jim that, manuals are only handed out to people in the trade, Techs and service centers .....Kev....

Thanks for that Kev,

Still if anybody knows about the correct drying procedure for this model (does it spin consistently whilst drying) I would love to know, and I would love to wear dry clothes (ha ha).

It should rotate a few times in one direction then reverse (if I recall correctly).
If your clothes are coming out wet and steamy at the end of the drying cycle then it's more likely that your condenser is blocked or isn't being supplied with cold water.

It does rotate a few times in one direction then reverse, but when you take out the clothes, they come out hot, steaming and not completely dry, this must because of the steam, just to add, I am only using this machine in the shed as a dryer and not as a washer! It is not plumbed in to the water mains. Is the condenser easy to get at to unblock?

It needs the cold water supply to work. No water will result in steam being produced. The condenser uses cold water to condense the steam and the resulting water is pumped out.
Your set up will not work at all.

Oh I see, well I will when I cure the steam problem!

Thanks again Sleepyhead...nice one!

By the way Sleepyhead, do these washer dryers produce much condensation in a kitchen?

Thanks & regards Jim

Shouldn't produce any condensation.
