Hoover HNL7166 delay light flashing 5 times every 10 secs

It appears your timer/main controller/CCU has failed in this instance.

For replacement parts - head on over to PartSelect.com or RepairClinic.com and enter in your full model number for a full parts listing.
I recommend both sites because ...


FixYa has no affiliation with either site - I have been using and recommending them for years - trouble free.

PartSelect has a great schematic database for locating the part on your unit and great "testimonials" for each part that often times includes HOW-TO information.
RepairClinic has pictures of each part they sell and also a great how-to and troubleshooting for basic repairs.


If your unit has never been serviced - there should still be an original service manual enclosed in plastic taped to the inside of the shell.
In the service manual are Error codes, maintenance procedures, and troubleshooting steps you can follow.


Anything too complicated or beyond your scope should be handled by a professional.

If you think you want to tackle the repair - and have gotten stuck on a step - reply to your question and I will be glad to help you out.

Hoover nextra 5 flashes on delay timer,,,,Be safe!!!!!! turn the power off before you read on and attempt this at home After doing some investigating of my own I opened the back panel and I found the fault to be two yellow cables fixed to what looks like the water temperature sensor which is fixed to the back bottom of the drum,one of the cables was hanging out of its clip I touched the other one and that fell out,,,simple fix, respliced the cables popped them back into the clips for a good tight fit I used electrical tape and also for a tidy finish,the machine is now working perfect,hoe this helps it helped me !!!!be safe!!!!
