How to Diagnose and Fix a Hoover E03 Error Code
There are a couple of problems that could stop your Hoover washing machine from draining properly. Here’s what to do to check it:
Safety First! Please make sure that you’ve switched off your appliance and disconnected it from the mains before beginning any repair.
- Remove the drain filter and rinse it to clean it. (Put down a towel first as water may run out!)
- Check the drain pump and remove any blockages.
- Check that the drain hose is clear of obstructions.
- Check the wiring to the drain pump.
- Check there is no blockage in the drain pipe.
If you’ve just installed your machine it’s also worth checking that there is no cap on the drain pipe under your sink. Sinks with no washing machine installed will have a cap in place instead to stop water leaking out. Make sure this cap is removed before connecting the washing machine and kept in a safe place (e.g. Sellotaped to the pipe) or your washing machine won’t be able to drain.
If you’ve removed a blockage from the drain pump and the error still shows when you turn your machine back on you may need to replace the pump as it could have burnt out due to the obstruction. Otherwise after taking the above steps the error should have been cleared.
