    hi, looking for some advice please
    i have a hoover DYN 8144DB, fault code being displayed is E03 just before spin,
    hoover fault codes says water not draining however i have checked pump which is running freely and there is no blockages or kinked pipes and water is definetely being completely drained, and i have also checked pressure switch pipe and is not blocked, also checked brushes which still have approx .750″ of length left on them, also machine is not taking in any water for wash (i assume this is because the fault E03 thinks there is still water in it) any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated

    thanks

    E03 is meant to represent that the draining time phase has been exceeded. However, if the drain is clear, the pump works OK and it empties quickly with no apparent reason for the error message, then it is time to check the heater. If the heater has the slightest leak to earth this will also throw up an E03 error.

    I suggest you check out that heater. 😉

    A multimeter will not show up an earth leak, you need a 500dcV insulation tester for that purpose. But yes try safely removing the heater terminals should clear the error if that heater is the problem.

    took out the heater and it was absolutly clogged to death with soap powder and so was the sensor that sits inside it, cleaned them up put back together and now working 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}, many thanks for your hepl
