My old Hoover top loader Washer ("Commodore") has recently become very noisy & often stops during spin cycle & doesn't spin out properly - how can I fix it? It used to often get unbalanced & stop during the spin cycle if I put a small or medium load in (especially if there was a towel in that stayed on just one half of the drum). But it was usually easily remedied by making sure the towel, or whatever, was evenly around the drum. Now it stops about 10 times during a wash cycle & sometimes the clothes are not spum out properly. Often I have to take half of the clothes out (especially the wet heavy towels) in order to get it to spin. I have also taken to giving the drum a good shake in order to get it to spin since sometimes if I take all the clothes out & try to get it to spin with no clothes in, it doesn't always start spinning until given a good shake! I hope that someone can give me a better way to fix this problem! ;-)

My top load 7.5 kg Hoover also goes through to the spin cycle which it does not perform. Water empties but that is it. The problem was previously intermittent. I just had a technician visit and he said the bearings were in poor condition and the machine (5 yrs old) is not worth repairing. Frankly the repairer didn't come across as very trustworthy just wanted a quick 5 minute visit for the service charge and leave. I would have thought that if the bearings were worn the machine would still spin but apparently not, he said water leaked through the bearing. So the first wash might spin but others would not after the water seeped in.
shakes when empty on spin cycle, with clothes won"t spin
