Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,

So many 'faults' are caused by blocked filters and many machines will not even go to rinse or spin or release the door lock if there is any water still left inside.
Following are my complete and generic guidance notes for checking both the drain motor filter and the drain motor ;-0)

REMOVE POWER AND ENSURE YOU HAVE A WATER RECEPTACLE/RAGS TO SOAK UP THE WATER WHICH IS BOUND TO POUR OUT (alternatively use a wet vac as sensibly suggested by VinnyB1234!)
If you are unsure where the filter is, it is often behind the front lower (kick) panel (or in some machines at the rear in an awkward position!). These panels are either held on by (plasic) screws or will just pull off. Most filters are held in by a round cover/knob. Sometimes the filter will not come out with the cover and you will have to persuade it to come out to play.
It's surprising what people have found in theirs! It is always worthwhile checking it on a regular basis.
Now- whilst the filter is removed it is normally possible to see the drain motor and ensure it is not jammed by a foreign object such as a needle or a toothpick. It should be able to be turned by hand/finger- the power IS OFF!
At this point it is also possible to test if the motor works. No clothes or water in the machine, select a spin cycle and put the power back on. You should be able to see the motor turning at some point, possibly straight away. Using something suitable like a glove see if it is easy to briefly slow the motor down. If it is easy then the motor is malfunctioning.

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

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,

Sorry but I do not know your particular machine BUT I would suggest as a first step that you clean the drain motor lint tray/filter. So many 'faults' are caused by blocked filters. The motor is unable to drain all of the water in the allotted time and water can remain in the drum and on the garments.
If you are unsure where the filter is, it is normally behind the front lower (kick) panel (or in some machines at the rear in an awkward position!) and held in by a round cover/knob.

Hope the filter is the problem and good luck!

hello, i take it you've checked the fuse in the plug if ok then check all the wire connections if ok then it's possible that the glass type fuse in the washer power supply may have blown. make sure you use the same rated fuse thanks

i dont know

I had this problem with a washer a few months ago. I believe it has something to do with the timer. Not too sure about this washer, if knobs are electric or not.. If it makes a clicking noise where the knob panel is it probably can be fixed fairly easily.

Also another problem that happens is the door switch. These two problems are the main ones for washers that continue to work but have problems in the cycle.

Sounds like a brush prob to me.
Remove rear panel and remove motor to check carbs.
Replace if there is less than 2or 3mm left.
If it still trips after replacing carbs, then motor faulty.
Plz rate this solution.
Thanks.

Hi Frank,

Went through this a couple of time.  Two things, at different times.  First is it draining?  If it is, then check the motot brushes.  They cost about £25 and take twenty minutes to replace.  Mine failed at three years.  

If it's not draining, then their is probably a blockage at the drain pump.  Anything bigger than twenty pence coin could do it.  Again, easy to do, just do it outside near a drain.

Suggestion: First plug off the wall. Remove the back panel of the machine. Check to see it the thin tube going from the top control panel to the exit side below the machine is block free. To check disconnect this from the top and blow into it. It should not blocked, refit. This is the water level control. Secondly check out your pump.

When you encounter flashing lights on your Hoover H dishwasher and the appliance is not responding as expected, it indicates that there might be a problem with the dishwasher's operation. The specific meaning of the flashing lights can vary based on the dishwasher model and its error code system. However, here are some general troubleshooting steps you can take:

1. Check the Manual: Refer to your dishwasher's user manual or guide. Look for a section that explains the meaning of the flashing lights and any corresponding error codes. The manual may provide guidance on what steps to take to resolve the issue.
2. Power Reset: Turn off the dishwasher and unplug it from the power source. Wait for a few minutes, then plug it back in and turn it on. This can sometimes reset the control board and resolve minor glitches.
3. Check for Door Lock Issue: Some dishwashers have a safety feature that prevents them from starting if the door is not closed properly or the door latch is faulty. Make sure the door is securely closed and the latch is functioning correctly.
4. Check Water Supply: Ensure that the water supply to the dishwasher is turned on and there are no kinks or blockages in the water inlet hose.
5. Inspect Drainage: Check the dishwasher's drainage system for any clogs or obstructions. A blocked drain can prevent the dishwasher from starting.
6. Cancel Any Previous Cycles: If there was a previous cycle that was interrupted or not completed, try canceling that cycle and then select a new cycle to see if the dishwasher starts.
7. Child Lock: Some dishwashers have a child lock feature that can prevent the appliance from starting. Check if your dishwasher has this feature and make sure it's not activated.
8. Error Codes: If your dishwasher has an error code display, note down the specific error code that corresponds to the flashing lights. Look up the error code in your manual or online to understand what the issue might be.
9. Professional Service: If none of the above steps resolve the issue and your dishwasher is still not responding, it's advisable to contact Hoover customer support or a professional appliance technician for further assistance. They can diagnose and repair any more complex issues that might be affecting your dishwasher.

Remember to always prioritize safety when working with electrical appliances. If you're unsure about any step, it's best to seek professional help.

Hello, check youtube link or search for Hoover e05 error. I hope to be usefull. All the best !

If your Hoover Dynamic washer is not displaying any specific error code but all the lights are flashing and it's beeping continuously, there might be an issue with the control panel or a more general system malfunction. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the problem:

1. Power Cycle the Washer: Turn off the washer and unplug it from the power outlet. Wait for a few minutes, then plug it back in and turn it on again. Sometimes, this simple reset can resolve minor electronic glitches.
2. Check for Overloaded Washer: If the washer is overloaded with clothes, it can cause the control panel to act abnormally. Try running a smaller load and see if the flashing lights and beeping stop.
3. Inspect the Water Supply: Ensure that the water supply to the washer is adequate and not restricted. Low water pressure or a clogged water inlet can cause unusual behavior in the washer.
4. Check the Drainage: Make sure the drainage hose is not clogged or kinked. A blocked drainage system can lead to improper functioning of the washer.
5. Examine the Door Lock: If the door lock is not engaging properly, the washer might not start or show unusual behavior. Check if the door is securely closed and the lock mechanism is functioning correctly.
6. Check for Leaks: Look for any leaks around the washer. Water leakage can trigger safety features, leading to flashing lights and beeping.
7. Inspect the Control Panel: Examine the control panel for any physical damage, moisture, or dirt accumulation. Clean the panel gently and make sure all buttons and knobs are functioning correctly.
8. Software Glitch: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, it's possible that the washer's control board has encountered a software glitch. In this case, you may need to contact Hoover customer support or a professional appliance repair technician to diagnose and fix the problem.

The drain hose or the pump might be clogged.I would call a repair person to take a look at it.

The padlock symbol on your Hoover washing machine indicates that the child lock feature is activated. This feature is designed to prevent children from accidentally starting the machine or changing the cycle during operation. If the padlock symbol is displayed but the padlock is not locked, it's possible that there's a malfunction with the child lock system. To resolve this issue, try pressing and holding the "Start/Pause" button for several seconds until the padlock symbol disappears. If this doesn't work, try unplugging the machine from the power source for a few minutes and then plugging it back in. This may reset the machine and allow you to deactivate the child lock. If neither of these solutions work, consult the user manual or contact Hoover customer service for further assistance.

Try this first... Unplug for 5 minutes, should set it back to factory defaults.

You are correct twas a Hot Cold

Condenser dryers are simple in operation. They use a heater element to force hot air to heat the clothes and turn the water to steam. That steam is turned back into water by drawing cold air into the machine and over the heat exchanger unit and into the drum. The problems with them is that they are slow to dry. Your best bet is to call for service, and the problem is likely the sensor probe or one of the thermal cut out. https://www.4candy.co.uk/tumble-dryer/ro-h10a2tce-80-31101805/catalogue.pl?path=111515,111515&model_ref=14378839&page=2 ..

Hi, you can close the door and test the machine first. If it does not work properly, then you can schedule an appointment with geeksquad bestbuy to repair the washing machine or replace it for you. Thank you.

To remove the program selector knob from a Hoover washing machine DYN9164DPG, please follow these steps:

1. Unplug the washing machine from the power source.
2. Locate the small metal tab located underneath the program selector knob.
3. Use a flathead screwdriver to gently pry up the metal tab.
4. Pull the program selector knob off the machine.

The metal tab acts as a locking mechanism to keep the knob in place, so be sure to pull the knob straight off the machine once the tab has been released. If you encounter any resistance, double-check that the metal tab is fully released before attempting to pull the knob off again. Once removed, you should be able to access and replace the selector switch.
