Hoover soft wave 1100

ninebob · 23 Jul 2006

I have a Hoover "softwave" 1100 washer-dryer.

Yesterday I had a blockage in the plumbing under the sink, and after clearing the u-bend I took the cold feed hose off the back of the machine and used it to blast some water through the waste before reassembling the trap.

Unfortunately when I reconnected it to the machine afterwards I forgot to turn the tap back on. This morning I set the machine on it's regular programme 4 and went out. I came back to find the machine had stopped dead half-way through the programme. This was when I investigated and found the tap to be off.

I turned the tap back on and restarted the programme. It seemed to work OK and the clothes are clean, BUT it took twice as long as it normally does.

Have I broken the machine?

Nobody?

Incidentally, on subsequent washes it seems to be back to normal. I'd still like to know if I'm likely to have done any damage though.
