Hoover washer stops during wash or rinse with E05; often related to heating or temperature sensing.

Safety first: Unplug the machine and allow it to cool before working near the heater.

• 1. Run a cold program: Try a cold wash. If the machine completes without error, the fault is likely in the heating circuit.
• 2. Access heater and NTC: On many Hoover models, the heater is at the rear of the tub, accessible from the back panel. Remove the panel and locate the heater terminals and NTC sensor.
• 3. Inspect wiring: Check for burnt connectors, loose spades, or damaged insulation around the heater and NTC.
• 4. Test heater element: Using a multimeter (with power disconnected), measure resistance across the heater terminals. Typical values are 20–30 Ω. Infinite resistance indicates an open heater; near 0 Ω indicates a short.
• 5. Test NTC sensor: Measure resistance of the NTC at room temperature (often 20–30 kΩ, depending on model). If it reads open or short, or does not change when warmed slightly, replace it.
• 6. Replace faulty components: Fit a Hoover-compatible heater and/or NTC sensor. Ensure the heater gasket is seated correctly to prevent leaks.
• 7. If E05 persists: The PCB triac or sensor input may be faulty. This requires board-level diagnosis or replacement by a technician.
