Possible Causes
Faulty start button, Damaged control panel PCB, Child lock enabled, Door not detected as closed
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before removing the control panel.
- Check child lock: Refer to the Hoover user manual to see if a keylock/child lock is active (often indicated by a padlock icon). Disable it using the specified button combination.
- Confirm door closure: Ensure the door is fully closed and latched. If you can start a cycle by pressing on the door, the door lock may be misaligned.
- Inspect control panel: Remove the inner door panel to access the user interface board. Check the ribbon cable between the UI and main board for damage or loose connections.
- Test start button: If accessible, test the start button switch with a multimeter for continuity when pressed. Replace the control panel / user interface board if the switch is faulty or the PCB is damaged.
