Hover Vision hd 147A door security light
I laid machine on its r/h side to replace water pump, also replaced door seal whilst at it. Then machine would not start, I have power, some of the program lights come up but it will not run any cycle. The door locks and times out when off accordingly but the missing thing is the door security light never comes on and I was wondering if this lack of light is what's holding the machine off. I've checked door switch, i've checked air pressure devise and now lost, it worked before I tipped it up.

Hoover Vision hd 147A would not start after pump and door seal replacement
- The problem
- After the machine was laid on its right-hand side to replace the water pump and door seal, it powered up and the door locked, but no cycle would start. Some programme lights illuminated, but the door security light did not come on.
- Likely cause
- The strongest supported explanation was an issue caused during or after the repair rather than a failed door lock. The accepted reply suggested possible disturbance to the door lock wiring or moisture reaching the control PCB after the machine was laid on its side. The final post confirms the machine itself was not faulty at that point; the user had been operating the removed PCB upside down and then corrected it.
- What fixed it
- The user removed the PCB intending to replace it, then refitted/handled it correctly and realised it had been upside down. After turning it the right way round and pressing the correct button, the washing machine worked again. No component replacement was confirmed as necessary.
- Checks to try
- Checked door switch
- Checked air pressure device
- Removed door lock and checked its connections
- Observed that the door locked and timed out when switched off
- Parts or tools mentioned
- Water pump
- Door seal
- PCB
Safety: Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply before any inspection. Work involving mains electrics, gas or sealed refrigeration systems should only be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

It has to be something that happened during the repair. Did you catch the door lock or connections whilst replacing the door seal etc? I would never lay a washing machine on its side, especially the side where the control pcb is. Water could run from the soap drawer onto it and cause problems. If so it can sometimes dry out after a few days.

Didn't catch door lock, i've subsequently removed it and checked connections all OK, does the light form part of the interlock?
Sorted! decided to buy a pcb so took it out of panel and curiosity got the better of me so plugged it back in and appart from getting a lot more lights but not the door switch light; then realised i was holding it upside down. Turned it around, pressed correct button and bingo we have a working washing machine - till next time! thanks for the encouragement if nowt else, appreciated.
