I have a Hoover Optima 168D washing machine and the error code E09 has come up and I can't open the door. How do I fix it?

Have the same problem. Have just looked in the service manual, it reads: Error 9 - Cancel the programme by returning the selector to the OFF position. Select again the programme and press the START/PAUSE button to switch the machine back on.

We recall having this problem with a previous Hoover washing machine and it was solved by cleaning the filter. The service manual recommends you clean the filter once a month. The procedure is as follows:
1) Open the flap

2) Only available on certain models: Pullout the corrugated hose, remove the stopper and drain the water into a container.

3) Before removing the filter, place absorbent towel below the filter cap to collect the small amount of water likely to be inside the pump.

4) Turn the filter anti-clockwise until it stops in the vertical position. Remove and clean.

5) After cleaning, replace the filter and lock by tightening the filter screw. Then follow all procedures described above in reverse order.

Hope that helps :)

High summerzaman,
the error mean an problem by the temperatur sensor of the water. It is possible an defect of the sensor or cable between the sensor and the microcontroller or the controller self.

I included a link on Youtube to my Nextra where I show how I clean the filter (watch it from 08:55 onwords). Just remove the kick strip and unscrew (philips screwdriver needed) the little screw on the filter itself, then turn it anti-clockwise but while you're doing this make sure you insert the kick strip underneath to gather the residual water. Repeat this operation 3 o 4 times until the sump is totally empty, make sure you don't let the kick strip fill up too much otherwise you'll be spilling water all over the place, so just turn the filter clockwise everytime you want to stop the trickle of water. It's not too complicated and it won't be too messy if you follow these instructions carefully. Good luck ;-)
