Hoover vhc580nc-80 flashing lights

This hoover condenser dryer is only a few months old and it runs for a short while then all the six lights flash along with the start button is this a error code?

No, more likely a power supply problem I would think or the PCB’s gone AWOL 🙁

I’ve changed the pcb over from another one I’m repairing and it still does the same fault! Do these machines use error codes? I’ve got two with faults in my workshop at the min and the company there from has over 100 of this model so I’m sure I’ll be getting lots more faults

I think all LED’s flashing indicates an error code so count the flashes.

It’s just continuously flashing, unless that’s one flash?

I don’t have a manual for this model. I have one for a similar model (with the display) and self-test procedure will probably be similar, not certain though. What I do know is the following:

Error Phase is a special protective mode that’s set every time a critical Error is detected:
• All LEDs flash together at 4 Hz. The buzzer beeps at 1 Hz (1 beep per second).
• The motor rotates the drum in clockwise sense.
• All buttons are inhibited, as long as the machine is in the Error mode.
• All LEDs flash until the Program Selector is moved (the door can be opened).
Every time the Dryer is found in Error Phase, it must be powered OFF and restarted. If the Error Phase persists, then launch the AUTO-TEST to be informed about the Error Code.

thanks for the replies martin, I changed the rear ntc and that seems to have sorted the problem, just had another one same model number with the filter light coming on, faulty pressure switch on that one.

many thanks paul
