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

This issue could be caused by a number of things. It is possible that the clothes are not properly balanced in the wash drum, causing them to wrap around the agitator. It could also be a problem with the agitator itself, or with the transmission.

Sounds like your timer is not working correctly. I would suggest replacing it, as there isn't a way to repurchase timers.

Your description leads me to believe your problem is with the agitator DAWGS. Remove your agitator and check inside the agitator to see if one or more are broken off. If they brake your agitator won't work as it should. Good Luck Friend.

my does everything but it just wont spin drye

have you done a clean ,hoover have this built in you need to do every so often the filter could be clogged do a clean don't put anything in when your doing this ,how old is it

Hi

It is normal for the drum to sway excessively and hit the balance switch if the load is not evenly distributed around the drum or if you have excess cloths.

Once the balance switch is trigerred, you can reset by openning and closing the door. It is a safety mechanism which stops the spin cycle if the drum sways excessively.

If this tends to happen often, then you need to make sure the machine is properly balanced and not leaning too much to the back.

Also the drum suspension rods do tend to wear out over time and loose their firmness, causing the drum to sway excessively. You can check this by opening the lid. Pushing down and from side to side onto the agitator, and seeing if their is a firm bound on the drum. Also making sure the drum returns to centre position. If the suspension springs feel loose and wayward, then they will need replacement.

you have to re alliegn tha motor

Hi are the clothes tangled up around the agitator if so the gearbox may be faulty or the brake may be worn,is it washing in both directions

There can be many reasons why the machine does not agitate. If it does not complete the cycle, then it can be a problem with the timer control, see The cycle doesn't advance .
If cycle goes on, but does not agitate, it can be the agitator and more, see It doesn't agitate or There's no delicate or regular spin or agitate

sounds like the motor brushes need renewing.
