Re: Error E3 on Hoover HD97E dishwasher

Hi db4boy

I didn’t get any replies originally as you can see and ended up invoking the Hoover 5 year parts guarantee. A Hoover engineer came out and stripped down the inside of the door and replaced a wire that had broken that ran from the PCB panel behind the buttons and down inside the door and round to the rest of the gubbins.

I was out when he did it but my wife said the guy was quite unpleasant and condescending and as it turned out didn’t do a very good job….(although it did fix the problem)

A year later the same problem occurred so I stripped the door down myself to find that he’d soldered in a replacement section of a yellow wire that was originally stretched too tightly inside the door causing it to break. The repair was also too tight and had broken again so I soldered in a new longer bit and it’s still going strong to this day.

If you’re OK with a cross-head screwdriver and don’t mind patching in cables etc and make a careful note of the order you dismantle things in it was a fairly easy job. Of course E3 might be caused by any number of things but it sounds like you might have the same or similar issue?

Hope this helps you – or someone else – out (should have posted this 5 years ago!!).

cheers
gordon
