Mend Hoover HNL6166 Working Weeks Ago

Hoover HNL6166 is burning clothes!?

The machine is just over two years old and has been working okay up to this point. About two weeks ago after doing a wash the door was opened to discover a horrible burning smell and some damage (burn marks) to certain clothes items. The rubber seal to the door was obviously rubbing somehow as bits of this grey rubber were all over the clothes and drum. So I did some online research and found the correct door seal, and bought it for about £15. I managed to fit it with some difficulty and tried the machine on a cycle (empty). I had also cleaned out the filter and gave the motor brushes a spring clean too. The machine worked okay empty, so I tried a half load, again fine. I left my wife to carry on with normal washing (full loads) but she has just told me that the same thing has happened. I feel sure that somehow the drum is vibrating against the door seal and causing a friction burn, but am stuck as how to rectify this fault. Any ideas?

I've had the same problem!

My problem is now that the drum doesn't spin on any cycle the water fills up and just sits there.

Anyone got any idea of the first place to look?

Am having the same problem - it has now "eaten" numerous bras, last one having got stuck and the wire has ripped through the rubber seal. Am wondering whether to replace the seal or cut my losses and buy a new washing machine??!
