Hoover VTC580NC all lights flashing

Hi,

Called to this dryer today that seems to work perfectly for a few minutes before stopping with all it’s lights flashing. Does anyone have any info on how to work out the error code for this?

Thanks,
Ray

In my experience I would say that it may well be a sticking heater relay.

I called back to this one yesterday and ran the diagnostic sequence (thanks again Dave) It came up with an E15 code. E15= heater relay glued contacts, replace the power card.

or solder in a new heater relay

did you check the heater had continuity as fault codes are not set in stone and sometimes its not what they say

Heater was working ok, it would heat for the first few minutes before it started flashing.

Ok the if I knew that I definitely would have said heater relay on pcb 🙂
