Hoover Optima 1400 A+aa

To remove the program selector knob from a Hoover washing machine DYN9164DPG, please follow these steps:

1. Unplug the washing machine from the power source.
2. Locate the small metal tab located underneath the program selector knob.
3. Use a flathead screwdriver to gently pry up the metal tab.
4. Pull the program selector knob off the machine.

The metal tab acts as a locking mechanism to keep the knob in place, so be sure to pull the knob straight off the machine once the tab has been released. If you encounter any resistance, double-check that the metal tab is fully released before attempting to pull the knob off again. Once removed, you should be able to access and replace the selector switch.

I have a hoover optima 1400AAA, it began to give trouble with programs, 40 degrees washed at 80 degrees, would not spin or empty, etc, called in a hoover repair man who cost me 120euros to remove the program knob and spray the contacts with Servisol super 10 switch cleaning lubricant, apart from the fact that I am still furious, everyone who has a hoover washing machine should know this.

You have a fault inside your timer, These can be repaired but due to the age of the machine it may or may not be worth while repairing, The machine is sticking due to a contact issue somewhere inside the timer.

Hi, I am having the same problem atm and was wondering if you fixed it?
Where there any damages to the machine and how much did it cost to repair if you called a repair man?
Thank you
Claire

probably the timer pcb has gone faulty.
