Hoover E07 error even after interlock replacement

Hi Luke,

If a new door interlock hasn’t cured it, the fault is likely elsewhere in the door lock circuit or in what the control board is “seeing” during spin/end of cycle. On Hoover/Candy machines, E07 can be triggered by more than just the lock itself.

Before checking anything internal, isolate the washing machine from the mains.

1. Check the door lock wiring and plug Make sure the connector on the new interlock is fully seated and that none of the terminals are loose, burnt, or pushed back in the plug. Also inspect the wiring loom from the lock back towards the main PCB for breaks or chafing.

2. Check the door catch and alignment If the door hook is worn, loose, or the hinges have dropped slightly, the lock may not be engaging consistently. That can cause faults at the start or when trying to release at the end.

3. See whether it happens mainly on spin If E07 appears part way through a cycle, especially during high spin, it may point away from the lock and towards the motor/tacho circuit or carbon brushes if fitted. Worn brushes can cause odd faults on Hoover machines.

4. Inspect the motor brushes If this model has a brushed motor, check whether the carbon brushes are badly worn or sticking. Short brushes can cause intermittent faults during spin.

5. Check the control board area Look for signs of burning, dry joints, or damaged connectors around the PCB, especially the door lock and motor connections.

If the lock, wiring, and brushes all look fine, the main control board becomes more likely. If you’re not confident testing live circuits or board faults, it’s best to get a qualified appliance engineer in. Any mains electrical, gas, or sealed refrigeration work should always be left to a properly qualified engineer.
