How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the washer before working on the door area.

  • 1. Inspect door catch and hinge: Ensure the door closes tightly and does not wobble. Replace a worn catch or adjust hinges.
  • 2. Check door lock assembly: As with E01/E11, inspect and reseat the door lock connector. Look for signs of overheating.
  • 3. Wiggle test: With the machine off, gently move the door while observing the lock. Excessive play suggests the lock or catch is worn.
  • 4. Replace door lock or catch: Fit Hoover-compatible parts if wear or intermittent operation is suspected.
  • 5. Persistent E17: May indicate a PCB input fault; contact a service technician.
