    18 mth old TV 630 – out of full warranty but still covered for parts… with an £85 callout chatge!!! As a result, am trying to DIY repair. Symptoms: off/on switch works if held in with a finger but switches off when pressure taken off the switch. Thinking it was a switch fault, I have replaced it but to no avail. I’ve checked that the timer turns off/on the power and that seems OK. Is there a capacitor or some other easy fix that could be causing this problem. I’d hate to throw away a good machine for the sake of a £10 part – but that’s what Hoover’s callout charges would dictate.

    PS – I am a DIYer but did remember to unplug before tampering 😈 Any help would be greatly appreciated before the Winter if possible 😀

    The on/off switch is not an on/off switch, it is a start button which activates a small electronic board in the console panel. This will be what has failed.

    is what you want.

    Love the cape 😯

    Thanx very much for the advice – your logic seems sound and I’ll use your link to order the part…and let you know how I get on.

    Penguin,

    Thanks for your help & advice. The spare part worked a treat (even if I struggled to work out how to get the old one out).

    I thoroughly recommend this site to any other DIY fixers out there!

    My wife is now fully ready for the winter.

    Hi

    I seem to have the same problem. Is this easy to fix and how do you access the control panel please?

    Thanks
