Re: Hoover AAA 14001 program fails with E3

Thanks, you are correct – pump runs for around 3 minutes before producing E3, during which time, there is no water in the sump (confirmed by removing filter cover) and no spin.

I have run a spin with the hose disconnected from the pressure chamber with the same result which made me think that it must be the switch or the module as you say.

A couple of further questions:

Is the best way to verify the switch by substitution, or should I use a multimeter across the terminals, or some other method?

If the switch proves OK and we are looking at a problem with the module, is it still an economical repair, or should I be looking at a new machine from a better manufacturer?

Re: Hoover AAA 14001 program fails with E3

No problem, just been home to check.

The product code is 37615945 and the other two 4 digit numbers which make up the serial number are 0138 and 9213.

Re: Hoover AAA 14001 program fails with E3

Thanks for the swift response.

In answer to the questions: I have tried wash and rinse programs with and without a load with the same result. I don’t have the number from the back panel with me, but I can nip home and check if it makes a difference.

I was thinking it was a faulty pressure switch, but I’m not sure how to test, other than blowing down the silicone tube attached to it, when it can be heard to actuate.

Is there a better way to test before ordering a new one?

Cheers
Neil
