Possible Causes

Faulty pyrolytic temperature sensor, Defective door lock mechanism, Overheat thermostat tripped, Main PCB not detecting correct lock status

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure the oven is cool and isolated from mains power before inspection. Do not attempt to bypass safety devices during pyrolytic operation.

  • Check door lock operation:
    • With power restored, attempt to start a pyrolytic cycle and listen for the door lock motor.
    • If the door does not lock, inspect the lock assembly as described for E05.
  • Inspect pyrolytic sensor and thermostat:
    • Remove the top/rear covers to locate the high-temperature sensor and any dedicated pyrolytic thermostat.
    • Test for continuity and correct resistance values according to Hoover specifications.
    • Replace any open or shorted sensors/thermostats.
  • Reset safety thermostat:
    • If a manual-reset overheat thermostat is fitted, press the reset button firmly.
    • Re-test the pyrolytic function.
  • Check wiring:
    • Inspect all wiring between the lock, sensors, and main PCB for heat damage.
    • Repair or replace damaged harness sections.
  • If all components test OK: The main control board may not be correctly managing the pyrolytic cycle and should be evaluated or replaced by a professional technician.
