How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the machine before accessing the pressure system.

  • Locate pressure sensor: Usually mounted under the top cover, connected to the tub by a small rubber hose.
  • Check hose: Remove the hose and blow through it to ensure it is clear. Inspect for splits or kinks and replace if damaged.
  • Clean pressure chamber: At the tub end, ensure the pressure chamber is not blocked with detergent residue. Clean carefully with warm water.
  • Inspect sensor and wiring: Check the sensor body and connector for damage or corrosion. Reseat the connector.
  • Replace sensor: If E26 persists and the hose/chamber are clear, replace the electronic pressure sensor with a Hoover-compatible part.
