Hoover Ultima 7 Oph716Df - Won't Start.

Hello..

My Hoover Oph 716 DF has recently stopped working. Basically when the start button is pressed nothing at all happens..

Usually a led lights up when the start button is pressed or flashes if the door isn't closed properly..

Machine has power as display is still lit.. Other buttons still function as normal.

I tried dismantling the machine to get to the buttons to see if I could try swapping them around but they're all soldered directly to the circuit board,,

I've also tried unplugging/re-plugging in all the connectors on the circuit board but no joy there..Same with the interlock.,

No error numbers are showing up on the display.

Machine is 2 years old.

Any suggestions as to what I can try next?

Thanks in advance,

Does the start button feel different to how it used to be? Or different to the others? It could be the button on the panel is faulty.

Intermittent faults are a right pain. If it does it again try this article - washer won't start

The buttons are soldered onto the circuit board so I can't swap them around or anything unfortunately.. It still gives a small click like normal..

It is working again at the moment although somewhat intermittently.. very strange..
