Hoover Oph614-80 - Unable To Select Programme / Water In Conditioner Tray
Hi
The timer selector switch on my washing machine seems to have 'slipped'?
I can not select all wash programmes using the selector. For example, I selected the 40min wash; the wash went onto the 90 degree wash which takes 3 hours instead.
There is also water collecting in the conditioning compartment in the washing powder tray after I have used the machine.(Although does not seem to be every use)
I am unsure whether to buy a new machine or have this one repaired as I don't know which is the cheaper option.

Solution Summary

This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.
Hoover OPH614-80 selects wrong programmes and shows incorrect spin lights
- The problem
- On a Hoover OPH614-80 washing machine, the programme selector would not choose the intended cycles. A selected short wash could run a different programme, such as a 90°C wash, and the wrong spin indicator lights came on, with some lights absent or flashing. The original post also mentioned intermittent water left in the conditioner compartment after use, but no diagnosis for that was confirmed in the discussion.
- Likely cause
- Most strongly supported diagnosis is that the programme selection is out of sync due to a cracked or misfitted control knob, or a faulty selector/timer assembly. The exact failed part was not confirmed.
- What fixed it
- Check whether the control knob is fitted correctly and whether it is cracked on the shaft. If the knob is sound and the selector is secure, the discussion advises having the machine examined by an engineer. Exact repair was not confirmed.
- Checks to try
- Observed that selecting a 40 minute wash could send the machine onto a 90°C programme
- Observed incorrect spin setting lights for selected washes, including lights blinking or not illuminating
- Check whether the control knob is fitted properly
- Check whether the control knob is cracked on the shaft
- Check whether the selector seems secured properly
- Parts or tools mentioned
- control knob
- selector/timer assembly
Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

If it's a mechanical timer it may just need a new control knob. When you turn it normally did it have any resistance as though it was turning cogs or something? If they break they can go out of sync so all the programmes go out.

Control knob seems to operate correctly, Although when select functions it illuminates the incorrect spin setting lights for that wash, none at all or blinking on and off.
For example; Turn selector to a 29min wash, and the max light illuminates when it should be medium (Spin) and does wrong wash cycle.
<p>I can't be sure without seeing it of course, but it sounds like it's just gone out of sync somehow so check the knob is on properly and not cracked on the shaft. Other than that maybe the selector is faulty, if you can't see a problem with the knob and the selector seems secured properly I would get an engineer out.</p>
