Hoover performa 1200 bangs when spinning.

check the drum has no coins in it if that fails you spindle bearing needs replaced

See if you can level out the unit. Sound like the case is responding to un-even pressures.

If you have an older machine it is the un-even load distribution in the wash tub. The wash is not evenly distributed in the wash tub. The wash tub don't spin evenly and wobble instead.

This sounds like the transmission is going. Better get another washing machine other than a Performa.

Could be a broken spring on top of the drum allowing it to hit back of casing...hope you fix...

Hi
Remove the drum belt, and spin drum by hand.
If it feels rough, or it is noisy, then drum bearigs have failed.
Please rate my solution.
thanks.

go to that website to get an online manual for any hoover machine. the performa eco is a WB120.

I assume it is not balanced. Try putting sponges under the feet of the washer.

mains filter capacitor usually goes with a bang and puff of smoke it is usually located near to where the mains cable enters the machine fixed to the rear panel by a nut the main cable is connected directly to it then the cables from it feed power to the machine. the capacitor is usually round in shape and has four connections onto it

Bed sheets or comforters will often get out of balance in the spin cycle or during the rinse cycle. Throw some towels in there next time at least 5 big ones. They are engineered to take a little of this banging, it should only happen once in a while.
