Hi, I have a Hoover hbwdo8514tahc-80 washing machine that has stopped working and displays an error I can't see any reference to anywhere in the book or on the web!

When selecting any cycle (wash or dry) it starts draining, then I hear it fill but can't see water in the drum then I hear the drain gurgle like it's draining and it just stops with an error that is eeo, picture attached...

I have checked and cleaned the filter, taken to top off and see that all pipes are connected, any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.

Hoover HBWDO8514TAHC-80 showed unreadable 'EEO' style error and then reset after being left unplugged

The problem
Hoover HBWDO8514TAHC-80 stopped on any wash or dry cycle. It would begin draining, appear to fill without visible water in the drum, then sound as if draining again and stop with an unreadable display error described as 'eeo'. The filter had already been cleaned and visible pipe connections checked.
Likely cause
The accepted reply said the display was not a recognisable Hoover fault code and was most likely due to a problem with the control panel and/or main PCB. This was a probable diagnosis rather than a confirmed fault.
What fixed it
No repair was confirmed. The machine was left unplugged overnight and the original poster reported that this appeared to reset it and it worked again. The accepted advice was to use Hoover's parts guarantee and consider a manufacturer repair if the fault returned.
Checks to try
  • Cleaned the filter
  • Removed the top and checked that pipes were connected
  • Left the machine unplugged overnight to reset it
  • Checked remaining Hoover 5-year parts guarantee

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

Not sure what that display is supposed to be. It’s neither number nor letter is it?

Hoover tend to user letters and numbers for error codes like E03 so yours can’t even be looked up because it’s gobbledygook. Maybe something’s gone wrong with the control panel and/or the PCB.

I’d look into the Hoover parts guarantee as many have 5 or 10 year parts guarantees though unfortunately the labour cost is likely to be around £100. But at least Hoover may quote you a fixed price repair.

Thanks, I did check and I'm in luck and have 3 months left on the 5yr parts guarantee...

Although I left it unplugged all night and day today and that has seemed to reset it, so it works again. But I guess it's only a matter of time ..
