If half the programmes have stopped working, a “reset” sometimes helps, but on Hoover/Candy machines it often points to either a control issue, selector problem, or a fault the machine is detecting on certain cycles.

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

1. Try a basic reset - Turn the programme knob to OFF. - Unplug the machine from the socket for 10–15 minutes. - Plug it back in and try a simple wash cycle first. - If your model has a Start/Pause button, press and hold it for around 5 seconds after selecting a programme to see if it clears a stuck cycle.

2. Check whether it is only certain types of programmes - Note if it’s just hot washes, spin, delicates, or quick washes that fail. - If only programmes needing heat fail, the heater, thermostat/NTC, or related wiring could be the issue. - If only some options on the selector fail, the programme selector or main PCB may be at fault.

3. Check the basics - Make sure the door is locking properly. - Check water supply is fully on. - Clean the pump filter if accessible, as drainage faults can stop some cycles from running properly.

4. Look for a pattern - Does it start then stop, refuse to start, or skip parts of the cycle? - Any flashing lights can help identify the fault, but I wouldn’t want to guess their meaning without the exact flash pattern.

If the reset makes no difference, it’s unlikely to be just a simple setting. At that point it may need proper diagnosis of the selector, door lock, heater circuit, or control board. For any mains testing or internal electrical work, use a qualified appliance engineer.

Safety first — read before actioning advice

  • Never work on a live appliance

    Always unplug it at the mains before going near it with any tools.

  • Never attempt gas work

    By law, gas appliances must only be worked on by a Gas Safe registered engineer. If your fault involves gas, stop and call a professional — do not attempt it yourself.

  • Watch for sharp edges

    Outer panels are smooth, but internal parts are full of sharp machined edges. Wear protective gloves and arm sleeves.

  • Water appliances can leak

    Turn off the water supply before disconnecting any hoses.

  • Know your limits

    If you're not confident testing or working inside the appliance, STOP and call a professional.

  • AI guidance, not gospel

    This is AI-generated guidance to help point you in the right direction, not guaranteed-correct instruction. It may be incomplete or wrong, so always use your own judgement and consult a qualified engineer for electrical, gas or water work.
