Wash programme will not start - Hoover AAA160 Front Load Washer

If you're washing machine is equipped with Delay wash.The delay start feature allows you to determine when you want the next wash programme to start. This is particularly advantageous if you want to use night time electricity tariffs or if the programme needs to be finished at a certain time, for instance when you come home from work. You can postpone the start of a programme by up to 24 hours. The display also indicates when the current programme will finish.

You can choose the right programme for any type of laundry following the descriptions on the washing programme tables (see «Washing Programmes»).
Turn the programme selector dial to the required programme. The programme selector determines the type of washing cycle (e.g. water level, drum movement, number of rinses) and the washing temperature according to the type of laundry.
The pilot light of button 8 starts blinking.
The selector dial can be turned either clockwise or anticlockwise. Position "0" to Reset programme/ Switching OFF of the machine.
At the end of the programme the selector dial must be turned to position "0", to switch the machine off.
If you turn the programme selector dial to another programme when the machine is working, the yellow pilot light of button 8 will blink 3 times and the message Err is displayed on the display to indicate a wrong selection. The machine will not perform the new selected programme.

hi
the water level switch or sensor does not activate to tell the programmer that there is plenty water so that it can start to rinse ( what you doing is simply overriding the system .

dosent heat up or dry

Start button is bad, the button it self, not the board

You need to hold the start button infor at least 3 seconds, then change programme to pump out. once that programme has finished change the programme to what you want.

try some wd40 spray around timer shaft.but yot may have to replace the timer hope this helps.
