We've got quite an old type of washing machine: a Hoover A2580 - S: It had been running well from 1991 to last summer, when it slowed down, so the condensator had to be replaced. It worked well for a year, then the drum started to revolve very noisily, then suddenly became very loose. Am I right supposing that it was the bearing that broke into pieces? I wonder if it can be replaced!! Thanks for helping me!

Type this question in at google.com.

sound like just a slow fill on the water side check your hoses/water supply

Possible that the main power has failed , the power supply of the unit had packed up or there is a serious fault in the controller unit. You need to open the control panel unit to trace this case specially using a multimeter, check for the AC power to the unit and check for the DC to the circuit. If not the panel is a suspect.

I would call hoover a service number should be located by the serial number or possibly on the door

The motor that drives the main switch needs replaced. It may require changing the switch & motor as a unit.

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,

Sorry, this forum is not able to supply any type of manual, installation instructions, electrical or schematic diagrams direct; it's just made up of ordinary guys and gals, probably at home and from all over the world, with experience of addressing problems and giving guidance for free on the web ;-0)
Also members on Fixya are not 'affiliated' to, or representative of, any manufacturer at all, just using their experience gained probably over many years.

You will need to type into your search engine/web browser '(make model number) washer technical manual' and you MAY be presented with a number of sources from which you can either download for free or have to pay a nominal amount.
You could also try the manufacturer's web site direct but they often only supply to their registered engineers ;-0(

If this has assisted you please consider a 4 thumbs up for the rating.
Thanks and good luck!
