Is it possible aside from throwing the washer dryer into a landfill to stop a wash/dry program early?

My daughters state of the art Hoover Washer Dryer a Dynamic 9+6 Product code: WDYN 9646G-80 thinks it knows everything... but if the washing inside is completely dry there seems to be no way to end the program. The dryer insists it has another "2 hours" to go before it is done!

Please if anyone knows a way to get this blessed thing to end its program please let me know otherwise the Washer Dryer gets it...

Thanks in advance.

Hoover WDYN 9646G-80 programme could not be ended early

The problem
A Hoover Washer Dryer Dynamic 9+6, product code WDYN 9646G-80, was reported to continue a wash/dry programme even when the load seemed dry, with no obvious way to stop or cancel the cycle early.
Likely cause
The strongest supported explanation is that the machine does have a cancel/reset function, but it is not obvious and may require pressing and holding two buttons. No appliance fault was confirmed.
What fixed it
Check the instruction manual for the correct cancel or reset procedure. If there is no dedicated cancel button, the accepted advice was that the programme may be cancelled by pressing and holding two buttons as specified in the manual. The exact button combination was not given in the discussion.
Checks to try
  • Look for an obvious reset or cancel button
  • Consult the instruction manual for the cancel/reset procedure
  • If no single cancel button is present, check whether pressing and holding two buttons is required

All programmes should have a cancel, if there's no obvious reset or cancel button it may be you need to press and hold two buttons. It should tell you on the instruction manual, if you don't have it try to download one from here - Download washing machine instruction manuals

It's often not made too easy on purpose to prevent accidental cancelling of programmes (especially if kids mess with it).
