Hoover Dyn8164D - Error Code E80?
Hello,
Does anyone have any knowledge as to what error code E80 refers to on the above model washing machine? It is not listed in the booklet I have; prior to this being displayed the washing machine had, on a couple of occasions, failed to spin correctly with the items still be soaked at the end of the cycle, but it had then gone on to be fine again for a few months.
Thanks

Hoover DYN8164D showing E80, possible motor-related fault
- The problem
- A Hoover DYN8164D washing machine displayed error code E80. Before the code appeared, it had occasionally failed to spin properly and laundry was left soaked at the end of the cycle, although it then worked normally again for a few months.
- Likely cause
- Hoover customer services reportedly advised that E80 usually indicates a motor fault. A forum reply also suggested related possibilities such as a poor motor connection or worn/damaged carbon brushes, but this was not confirmed on this machine.
- What fixed it
- No confirmed repair was posted. Suggested checks were the motor plug, wiring tags and connections, the connector on the motor, and the carbon brushes. If no obvious issue is found, further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.
- Checks to try
- Observed intermittent poor spin performance with wet load at end of cycle
- Hoover customer services consulted about unlisted E80 code
- Suggested check of motor plug and tags/connections
- Suggested check of motor connector
- Suggested check of carbon brushes
- Parts or tools mentioned
- Carbon brushes
Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

None of the Hoover error codes I have go anywhere near up to 80.

Hi - thanks for the reply. I have contacted Hoover as this error was not listed in my manual and I could find no mention of it anywhere on the internet. They advised that it usually indicates a fault with the motor but that was all they could tell me!
Only two or three errors are ever listed in the user manuals, ones which often indicate user faults which they can sort themselves such as childlock on, or no water coming into machine (check tap is turned on) or not draining (check filter). Any others are always for engineers only and many are deliberately hidden or restricted as much as possible to anyone but a manufacturer's own engineers or dealers.
If it implicates the motor check the motor plug and all tags and connections inside it as well as the corresponding connector on the motor which it plugs into. Also check the carbon brushes to see if one is charred as per this article (carbon brushes diagnostics)
The carbon brushes diagnostics is written for Hotpoint brushes but the principles are exactly the same for all carbon brushes. If you can't find anything call an engineer as it could be too many other things.

I have this E80 code coming up on my Belling Washer Dryer. I have phone Belling and their customer service cannot fine anything about this code. As my machine is still under warranty (1 week over 1yr old, I have a 2yr warranty) they are sending out an engineer. I will re post when I know what the answer is, as there does not seem to be any answers on the web. This may help anyone else, including washing machine engineers. Thanks for this site, I have been here before.
