Hi, can someone out there please help me with a very old Hoover Logic 1100 washer/dryer model A8536. It started leaking and after taking the back cover off, I found that it is spewing dirty water out of the 2 holes in the outer drum just below where the drum pulley is attached. Also, there is what looks like a water trap, (clear plastic "small bottle") which is attached at the back of the outer drum that has a exit tube which attaches to a pressure switch via a plastic tube. It used to fill with water but has stopped doing this, seems to be blocked. I have tried removing the 2 clamps and short black rubber pipe that attaches the "water trap" to the back of the drum, but it will not come loose. Firstly, does anyone have any idea why it is leaking out of these 2 holes and what the purpose of these holes are? Secondly, what is this "Water Trap" for and how do I remove it to clean it out? Thirdly, does the "blocked water trap" have anything to do with the leak from the 2 holes as explained above. I would really appreciated any suggestions. Thanks! Frank
