Possible Causes
Open‑circuit oven NTC sensor, Shorted sensor, Damaged sensor wiring harness, Loose connector at control board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Switch off the cooker at the isolation switch or unplug. Allow the oven to cool completely.
- Locate the sensor: Inside the oven cavity, find the small metal probe (usually at the rear or top).
- Check for damage: Inspect the sensor for obvious damage, burns, or loose mounting screws.
- Reset power: Restore power and see if the error clears temporarily. If it returns, the sensor or wiring is likely faulty.
- Resistance test (qualified person): Remove the rear panel, disconnect the sensor, and measure resistance with a multimeter. Compare to Hoover specifications (typically around 1 kΩ–1.1 kΩ at 20°C for many sensors).
- Replace if out of range: Fit a genuine Hoover oven temperature sensor. Ensure good connection at both the sensor and control board.
