Hoover New Wave WA 1400 showing E1 with all LEDs flashing

The problem
A Hoover New Wave WA 1400 washing machine was reported as displaying error code E1 with all LEDs flashing. The owner also wanted the instruction manual.
Likely cause
The accepted reply states that on a Hoover New Wave, E1 means the machine has exceeded a check time for fill, heat or empty. The exact fault was not confirmed because this code can relate to more than one cause.
What fixed it
The recommended action was to obtain the instruction book from the main washer help site and then observe exactly when the programme aborts to E1. The accepted advice was to check whether the machine fills with hot and cold water correctly and whether it drains at full speed, to narrow down whether the problem is with filling, heating or emptying. No specific repair was confirmed.
Checks to try
  • Observed when the machine aborts to the error code
  • Checked whether it fills with hot water correctly
  • Checked whether it fills with cold water correctly
  • Checked whether it drains the water at full speed

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

You can get information on how to get a Hoover instruction book on the main Washerhelp site ( Washing machine instruction books and user manuals ). Error code E1 (On a Hoover New Wave) means, "machine has exceeded a check time for fill, heat or empty".

As with many washing machine error codes, this one covers more than one possible cause and can be next to useless at times. You need to observe the washing machine carefully to see exactly when it aborts to the error code to have an idea which one it is. Check if it's filling with hot and cold water OK and if it's draining the water at full speed.
