Hoover Optima Ophs 612
Hi there,
I think that the settings are out of sync, as when i go to select spin, it fills rinses but doesn't spin it also takes about an hour to run through and i cant cancel.
The spin seems to work on my normal washing setting.
Is there anything i can do to fix this? I cant really afford to have an engineer to come out.
Thank you
Gemma

This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.
Hoover Optima OPHS 612 runs rinse instead of spin
- The problem
- On a Hoover Optima OPHS 612, selecting the spin programme caused the machine to fill and rinse instead of spinning. The cycle then took about an hour to run through and could not be cancelled. The spin function reportedly worked during a normal wash programme.
- Likely cause
- The strongest suggestion in the discussion was a selector switch/programme knob position issue, where the control could be out of sync and selecting a different programme than indicated. This was not confirmed.
- What fixed it
- The recommended check was to turn the selector to OFF and see whether the machine does anything. If the machine still runs when set to OFF, the selector may be misaligned. The advice was to identify the one selector position where the machine does nothing and compare that with the marked OFF position to judge whether the programme selector is out of sync. No completed repair was confirmed.
- Checks to try
- Turn the selector switch to OFF and check whether the machine does anything
- Identify the one selector position where the machine does nothing to determine the true OFF position
- Compare the true OFF position with the marked OFF position to see if the selector is out of sync

The way to tell is, if you turn the selector switch to "OFF", does it do anything? If the selector switch is out of sinc it will be out on off too. If it does something on off, try finding the one position where it does nothing and that is the Off position so you could work out how out of sinc it is. If it was one position out for example it could be that selecting spin is actually selecting the rinse cycle one position before. If the off setting is correct and when you select off nothing happens then it can't be out of sinc.
