Hoover Washing Machine Error Code E14 – Meaning and Possible Fixes
Hoover Washing Machine Error Code E14
If your Hoover washing machine displays Error Code E14, it usually indicates that the appliance has detected a problem with the drying heater circuit. This error typically appears on Hoover washer-dryer models that include a drying function.
During the drying cycle, the machine uses a heating element to generate warm air that dries the laundry. If the control board cannot activate the drying heater or does not detect the expected temperature change, the appliance may stop the cycle and display the E14 error code.
