Hoover Nextra 160 HNWF 3137 Front Load Washer / Dryer - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
Clanging noise during spin cycle
Ahaaaa... BALANCE your loads... true for Life too!
Also know some springs "age" and don't provide the "RESISTANCE" needed to keep your drum in place... so they may LOOK PERFECTLY GOOD, but are actually tired from constant stress.
Do your best to use SPRINGS DESIGNED for your washer!
YOU failed to include your model number so I can't be more specific than this.

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
I would gently suggest as a first step that you clean the drain motor lint tray/filter. So many 'faults' are caused by blocked filters and many machines will not even go to spin or release the door lock if there is any water still left inside.
Here are my complete guidance notes for checking both the drain motor filter and the drain motor ;-0)
-------------------------------------
If you are unsure where the filter is, it is often behind the front lower (kick) panel (or in some machines at the rear in an awkward position!) and most are held in by a round cover/knob. Sometimes the filter will not come out with the cover and you will have to persuade it to come out to play!
REMOVE POWER AND ENSURE YOU HAVE A WATER RECEPTACLE/RAGS TO SOAK UP THE WATER WHICH IS BOUND TO POUR OUT!
It's surprising what people have found in theirs! It is always worthwhile checking it on a regular basis.
Now- whilst the filter is removed it is normally possible to see the drain motor and ensure it is not jammed by a foreign object such as a needle or a toothpick. It should be able to be turned by hand/finger- the power IS OFF!
At this point it is also possible to test if the motor works. No clothes or water in the machine, select a spin cycle and put the power back on. You should be able to see the motor turning at some point, possibly straight away. Using something suitable like a glove see if it is easy to briefly slow the motor down. If it is easy then the motor is malfunctioning!
Please score this solution accordingly and good luck!

Water not heating
Check the heating element Should read 28 ohms on a multimeter if shows open circuit. no reading then replace...
I have a Hoover Washer HNF 1617 that is leaking water underneath.
You may have the threads for that strianer cap crossed or its just loose. First, try tightening it if it still leaks use teflon tape or pipe dope to seal it. there isn't much pressure there...so it is definitly repairable. At worst you may need to replace the drain pump.
Water will not drain
Check the filter located behind the kick plate at bottom front of machine.
