Hoover Visiontech VT1014D23 stuck showing delay start display

The problem

Hoover Visiontech VT1014D23 washing machine showed '0880 9:99' on every programme selection, with the cold wash, sensitive care and delay start lights lit steadily. Pressing Start did nothing. Pressing Delay Start made the machine begin washing, but the cycle did not end.

Likely cause

A control or programme fault was suspected, but the discussion did not identify a specific failed part or cause. The accepted reply said it did not appear to be a simple issue such as a blocked filter or no water supply.

What fixed it

No DIY repair was confirmed. The accepted advice was to have the machine examined by an engineer.

Checks to try

• Observed display reading '0880 9:99'
• Cold wash, sensitive care and delay start lights lit steadily
• Fault occurred on any wash programme selected
• Start button did nothing
• Pressing Delay Start started a wash that did not finish
