Hoover VisionHD 41026072 replacement PCB shows E15 after fitting

The problem
After replacing the main PCB 41026072 in a Hoover Vision HD 8kg washing machine with a like-for-like Candy unit, the machine displayed error code E15. The poster believed the board was unprogrammed and asked for the front-panel button procedure to configure it.
Likely cause
The strongest supported explanation is that the replacement PCB required programming or configuration after installation. The accepted reply also warned that PCB replacement is often misdiagnosed, so the original fault may not have been confirmed.
What fixed it
No programming procedure was provided. The accepted advice was that if the PCB was supplied without setup instructions, the seller should have warned that configuration was needed, and some manufacturers only allow this to be done using engineer-only equipment. Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.
Checks to try
  • Main PCB 41026072 was replaced
  • Machine displayed E15 after PCB replacement
  • Replacement board was described as a like-for-like Candy unit
Parts or tools mentioned
  • Main PCB 41026072

Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

Sorry I don't Jim. I always advise against replacing a PCB. Most of the time people have misdiagnosed it so even if it fits OK the fault often remains, but these days especially the manufacturers are making it much more difficult. If the PCB did not come with instructions for programming or setting up then it's useless selling it to the public. I would argue that whoever sold it should have warned it needed setting up or configuring. If there are no leaflets inside then the information is being held back for their engineers only. It used to be the case that spares companies would not sell programmers and PCBs to the public for these reasons. With some manufacturers these things even need setting up with laptops only supplied to their engineers.
