Hoover Tumble Dryer Error Code E14 – Meaning and Possible Fixes
Hoover Tumble Dryer Error Code E14
If your Hoover tumble dryer displays error code E14, it usually indicates a fault with the rear temperature sensor (NTC).
Tumble dryers use temperature sensors to monitor heat levels inside the appliance during the drying cycle. These sensors help the control system regulate heating and prevent the dryer from overheating.
If the control board cannot receive a correct signal from the rear NTC temperature sensor, the tumble dryer may stop the programme and display the E14 error code.
