Re: Hoover DYN9164DPG – persistent E03 code

Thought I’d post an ending to this thread.

Element was replaced although the old one really didn’t want to leave it’s home. Eventually managed to persuade it out and the new one went in very easily with help from some washing-up liquid. A couple of high temp washes along with a bottle of washing-machine cleaner and all test wash cycles all successfully completed without an error code.

eBay PCB board was refunded quickly and easily since they hadn’t shipped it by Monday so the 20 quid on that went towards the element.

Thanks to all for their pointers and suggestions. Hopefully this thread will help someone else in a similar position. I’ll know where to come next time I have to troubleshoot my white goods!

Plugged the sensor back in, but leaving the red & yellow/green wires unplugged and the machine now completes a drain and slow-spin cycle instead of stopping with an error. Looks like the element is faulty!

Pity I didn’t get an error code suggesting this in the first place! 😀

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions!

Removed and insulated all the cables from the heater, but now get a 5 error code when attempting a drain cycle on the machine – guessing I need to leave some of the wires connected?

1 have 2 red spade connectors, a green/yellow spade connector and a white plug in total…

Thanks all – just submitted an order cancellation via eBay. Hoping the seller will agree to that before he despatches it.

Seems very odd (and not logical) that the heater element could be causing a drain error code?!

Re: Hoover DYN9164DPG – persistent E03 code

Thanks iadom,

I’ve purchased a 2nd hand PCB logic board last night from eBay for £20 so will give that a try. Worse comes to worse and it’s not needed, I’ll sell it onwards or keep it as a spare.

i don’t have a multi-meter but I think I know someone who does, so will have that looked at as well – thanks for the tip. I’ll be offline (holiday) in a week or so, so I won’t be able to post any updates soon but will post an update here so hopefully it will point anyone else with this problem in the right direction.
