How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the appliance before accessing the door lock.

  • 1. Confirm door closes firmly: Check that the door catch engages fully and there is no play. Adjust hinges if the door is sagging.
  • 2. Inspect door lock assembly: Access the door interlock as for E01. Check for cracks or signs of overheating. Ensure the connector is fully seated.
  • 3. Check wiring continuity: If you have a multimeter, test continuity of the feedback wire from the lock to the PCB. Repair or replace any damaged harness.
  • 4. Replace door lock: If the lock appears faulty or intermittent, replace it with a Hoover-compatible door interlock assembly.
  • 5. If E11 persists: The PCB may not be reading the lock feedback correctly. Professional diagnosis and possible PCB replacement are required.
