Possible Causes

Corrupted EEPROM on PCB, Incorrect or failed software configuration, Power surge damage to memory, Faulty main control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the washer before any control board access.

  • 1. Power cycle: Disconnect power for 10–15 minutes, then reconnect and try again. Occasionally, transient memory errors clear.
  • 2. Check supply stability: Ensure the washer is connected to a stable mains supply, not via long extension leads.
  • 3. No user-serviceable reset: EEPROM configuration usually requires service software and tools. Do not attempt to short pins or modify the PCB.
  • 4. Professional service: A Hoover service technician can reprogram or replace the main PCB with the correct configuration for your model.
