Hi there, I have a hoover nextra 7, the wash seems to stop part way through and I can hear water stopping and starting every couple of seconds and I see water do the same when the detergent draw is open. the program will not continue. there seems to be no error codes showing. any ideas please.
A possible fault that is consistent with your symptoms is that the water level sensing is confused. This is usually a column of water in a plastic tube bearing on a diaphragm switch which operates when the weight of water is sufficient to trip it.
The water level is adjusted by a dial which alters the pre-loading on the switch, meaning it needs a bigger or lesser column of water to trip it. If there is a leak in the tube, that would account for the water level trying to cycle. Any water underneath the machine? If so it is a good indicator that is the right track. If not it still may be that fault, but the leaking water is just not making it to the floor.
It is normal that the program suspends for filling, and it will not give rise to an error. Also normal is flow through the detergent drawer whenever there is a fill cycle. What is not normal is the repeated fill cycles.
Also investigate the actual switch associated with the level sensing. It might have bad contacts.
Please post what you eventually find the fault to be. Helps everyone, especially those trying to diagnose at a distance.
