I had a similar fault once and only once before. It is no doubt due to my age 😥 🙂 but I cannot for the life of me remember what the cause was. 😳
Machine starts to fill OK, when pressure switch closes at first level, motor starts to run but the drain pump is firing on & off all the time. All wiring harness is perfect, no chafing etc. Suspect the control unit but I suppose it could be the pressure switch. The heater wiring is perfect and this fault occurs during rinse as well as wash cycle.

Its the Pressure Switch (09084567) for sure :tup:
Safety level switch within does a wobbly, trust me 😉

Thanks for that, I do seem to recall that it was that on the last one, but it is around four years ago. 🙂

Just to tidy this one up in case it helps anyone else. New pressure switch did the trick. I dug out my invoices from 5/6 years back and found it was exactly the same fault. 🙂

Just for your info, I keep a log book on the van with a few Least encounterd faults with a few notes on the fault and subsequent remidies, listed under
manufacturer make and model then its just a quick look through the log and usually Bingo, without hours of head scratching.
Hope this may help
Re: Hoover Softwave. A8754 WD
Believe me, if I kept such a log book it would by now be as big as ‘War and Peace’ 😉 Whilst I now need varifocals and my hearing is not what it was, my memory is normally very good. The info was in there it just needed a prod to bring it out.
Still a very good suggestion all the same. :tup:
