I have a Hoover 500mb, 5kg HD Top Loader washing machine. The problem I am having is the clothes always have lint and other stuff on them after being washed. I have tried taking the agitator off and seeing if anything was caught but there was nothing but a bit of a build up of soap scum. If I run the machine with nothing in it and stop it during a wash I can see all the floating particles of scum and lint. Do you guys have any ideas of what else I can try?

Hoover 5kg dryer stopped working

If your Hoover 5kg dryer is not working properly, there are a few potential causes for this problem:
  • The dryer may not be receiving enough power. Make sure the dryer is plugged in and the outlet is functioning properly.
  • The dryer's lint filter may be clogged. Clean the lint filter to ensure it is not blocking the air flow.
  • The dryer's vent may be clogged. Check the vent and clean it if necessary to ensure the air can flow freely.
  • The dryer's heating element may be damaged. If the heating element is not functioning properly, the dryer will not be able to dry clothes effectively.
If you are unsure how to check for and address these potential causes, you may want to consult the user manual for your Hoover dryer or contact the manufacturer for assistance.

Hi, I have a HOOVER 500MB WASHING MACHINE and on both wash cycles it repeatedly gathers all the clothes around the agitator?

Too many clothes, not enough water, usually. However, this is a known issue on this Australian Washer.

Throw it out, and buy a Front Loader. They take more laundry, use less water and electricity and don't tangle.

My machine seams to go slow with a light load 500mb h/duty

500mb from memory was a Hoover top loader ??? It could be just the belt slipping underneath, but also have a look inside the drain pump hoses for blockages. These were notorious for blocking with coins and other foreign objects. . If the machine couldnt pump out properly, when it went onto spin, it would only go very slow as the machine wasnt able to build up any speed with a full load of clothes and water.

The lint is not being washed from machine. All dark clothing has lint residue. How can I rectify this problem please? Currently my husband using damp cloth has to wipe over black clothing extensively prior...

the self cleaning lint filter seems to be clogged. before you replace it try this cheap/ easy remedy.
  • run a load with no clothes on high water level, hot water and a gallon or two of bleach.
  •  no soap. 
  • do an extra rinse after to make sure you rinse all the bleach away before putting more clothes in.
the lint filter may be defective since it has always had this problem, but its worth a try.
