Hoover DYN8163D8X flashes and stops!

It could be the control board, but from your description I wouldn’t jump straight to that. Hoover/Candy machines can behave oddly if there’s a problem with draining, heating, the door lock, or the power supply to the board. The fact it repeatedly comes back on and shows 45 minutes suggests it’s failing at the same stage of the cycle.

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

1. Check if it has water left inside If it stopped mid-cycle around 45 minutes, a drain fault is a common cause. Check the drain filter/pump filter for blockage, and make sure the drain hose isn’t kinked or pushed too far down the standpipe.

2. Listen for what happens at 45 minutes If it clicks and dies when it should be heating or spinning, that helps narrow it down. A failed heater or motor carbon issue can cause some models to stop at a repeatable point.

3. Check the door lock behaviour If the door lock is weak or intermittent, the machine may click off or reset. See whether the door feels securely locked when it tries to restart.

4. Inspect for obvious signs of damage If you are competent to remove the top/back, look for burnt connectors, especially on the main board, heater wiring, motor plug, and mains filter area.

5. Try a rinse/spin or drain-only programme If these work, but a full wash fails at the same point, that points more towards heating, motor, or control issues rather than a complete board failure.

If it’s flashing a proper fault code sequence from LEDs, post exactly which lights flash and in what pattern, as that may narrow it down. If there are signs of burning, or if mains testing is needed, it’s best left to a qualified appliance engineer.
