Hoover AM1100 Washing machine, wont final spin.

Hi, I have a Hoover AM1100 Washing machine that wont do the final spin. The drum moves round during the wash cycle at normal speed but when it comes to spin it makes a strange noise and only spins for a few seconds and not at full speed before it stops. We have changed the brushes and checked all the pipes for blockages. At first it would spin better if we left it for a while after the wash had finished and then put it on spin only but now it doesn't even do that. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The noise, is it a grinding noisy like worn bearings?

put the washer on drain only - is the pump working ok, take the filter out to see if it is turning ok, does that make a strange noise?

If the pump is fine, its back to that noise, it could be be a faulty tacho on the motor ( regulates the spin speed) or motor bearings - has the motor spindle a lot of play on it?
Let me know how you get on and good look!

Hi,

you can close the door and test the machine first. If it does not work properly, then you can schedule an appointment with geeksquad bestbuy to repair the washing machine or replace it for you.

Hi i have a hoover washing machine hnf 6127 it functions perfectly but wont spin the drum goes round on the wash cycles but will not pick up speed on the spin i have checked the filter is not blocked

If it is not picking up speed on the spin cycle then it is the motor or the belt. check the belt first for proper tension and make sure the motor has the proper output. I think something is slipping and not transferring torque to the tub.

Washing machine leaking underneath

might simply be a small hole in the outlet drainage hose, this would explain why your machine leaks during the final spin, there is more pressure from the water inside the hose during the final spin than when the machine is draining. hope this helps.
