Hi Rufus

Anyone know if this is a common failing in these Hoover models or
whether the real reason may lie elsewhere, such as the bearing
which
is causing this wheel to distort?

I have constant problems with my Hotpoint which dances around the
conservatory floor at regular intervals, occasionally blocking the
door into
the conservatory itself.

My problem seems to be keeping the machine level. Almost every time
its
used I have to re level it.

Next plan is to buy some steel strapping and bolt the ******* to the
walls.

Tempting, but that could be a seriously bad idea. The shaking forces
can be pretty heavy, in some cases even enough to bring a wall down.

Better to add additional damping on the tub.
