Hoover OPH, VHD & WMH + Candy models

[AJC_Dave]

I seem to get loads of these washing machines with the same error where program selection goes all over the place and after a while doesn’t select a program at all.

I was wondering if anyone knew what component/s cause this on the board and why it does it? Also, is it something that can be repaired?

Thanks

Dave

Sorry to bring this back up….
Must do at least one of these a week and having little success in repairing the selector so have been replacing the full facia pcb. I’ve used pcb cleaner on some and its worked but with very limited success.
Does anyone have any other methods or is just a case of replacing?
Thanks

Replace every time, switch cleaner only a temporary fix at best and should only be used as a ‘get out of jail card’.

That’s what I found. It improved some slightly but nothing on most.
Thanks
