How To Fix the Hoover E03 error code on your Washing Machine
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 січ 2018
- The E03 error code on your Hoover washing machine means that the drum isn't draining - normally this is caused by a blockage, and it only takes a few minutes to fix. I show you how to drain the machine, remove the filter and clear the error code. All you need is a towel and a sauce pan and before you know it the fault code will be gone.

5 years on, this video continues to help the likes of me.
My washing machine has also been slightly demystified in the process.
Thank you!
BRILLIANT video! Thank you so much. I followed it exactly and fixed my machine without having to pay someone to come out. Thank you VERY much. It was very easy to follow.
I just watched your video and thought this is pretty simple...I've cleaned the filter on a different brand, so I had a go. Unfortunately for me, the cap was stuck...I called Hoover and they were very helpful and suggested that there could be something stuck behind the cap...so I got a torch and glasses and persevered, trying to coach it out, but afraid to use a screwdriver or anything like that to assist me, since everything was made of pvc/plastic and I did not want to damage it. Anyway, yes, there was a drill bit stuck in there and when I got that out, the cap came off...also, there was heaps of stuff in the filter, including coins. I'm just posting this here in case someone else has the same problem. These videos are great for DIY'ers!! Thanks so much. It also taught me how important it is to clean the filter more often!
So far I’ve coaxed a few coins, a metal thing and two stones? Out but not the filter… and half a mop bucket filled 😂 it’s late but I don’t understand people who leave their laundry to stew lol so I will try some more 🤞🤞🤞🤞
ur a true angel, this saved me and my housemates
Just had this exact issue on my Candy washer/dryer and after watching this video, I emptied the filter and cleaned out a load of shirt collar stays. Machine is now up and running and I was about to have to call an engineer in the new year so thank you for this so much!
Thank you so much! Every couple of months I need to send it in for this error. Imagine my surprise when I found curtain hooks, string, and solidified washing powder. Took me less than 5 minutes to resolve
You sir are awesome, I had no idea they had a hose to help with the water. I was getting ALL my towels ready to catch it. Thank you
I have really tried to find this hose but It just seems to be a plug where the hose is in the video, how did you find yours?
Be carefull guys with the water ,you will need more then 1 towel
I woke up to this error code (E03) reflecting on my Hoover washing machine, and Wooow, I have tried your SIMPLE well explained steps and now the washing machine has span to the end! A huge thank you for your generosity. It has saved me plumber fee...
Once again thank you!!
Hooray - another one saved!
Thank you! This worked out for me and it was so much easier than anticipated.
Thanks for the vid. My blockage was caused by a stray 5€ note. I now have a working washing machine and an extra fiver in my back pocket! 🙏🏻
Result!
I think it's worked! Couldn't get the hose out and a LOT of water came out but so did a very suspicious looking 2p coin. It's spinning now so I think we are onto a winner !! Thank you
Couldn't find the culprit to the error but doing this got my washing machine going again! Thank you!
I know you posted this video in Jan 2018, but it helped me with my problem is 2022. Thank you for the help.
You’re welcome
Thank you. Mine is a different model but I followed your instructions and finding this now means that I don’t have to wait 10 days for a call out.
Hooray!
Thank you so much for this video! I had a huge blockage and flooded my kitchen 😂
Thank you! I thought I was up for a new washing machine but this worked a treat.
Hooray! Reduce, reuse, recycle
Thankyou fixed my mum's washing machine thanks to you.
Cheers for that mate,mine's a bush washing machine but it still worked,was blocked with shredded bits of towel.
Cheers for the Video, managed to fix quicker than trying to get through on the phone.
Thanks for the tip - that just keeps on fixing. This did the trick perfectly
This video saved me doing the totally wrong thing. Thanks!
Very useful, got mine fixed within minutes. Thanks!
Hooray!
Fixed thanks to your no nonsense video. Much appreciated
You’re welcome!
You are brilliant.. I just repaired mine n it was the filter .thank youuuuu
Thanks Garreth - fixed a treat !
Thank you so so much you have just saved me from having to buy a new washer after following your instructions and unclogging the filter my washers now working good as new . Thank you so much 😀
Jenni Withington great news. If it keep happening, and there's nothing clogging the filters let me know. I've got a fix for that too - just haven't uploaded the video yet
I dont have that gray pipe at the front. Full of water and my couch covers are in the washer. Fml
garrethbert I'm having the same problem. I've cleaned 5he filter there's no blockage checked the drain pipe. It runs a cycle then the dreaded E03 is back again. Can you help?
Have you uploaded that video yet? It keeps happening on our Hoover, I've drained it several times, checked the pump each time, but now I get an E03 every time.
Sorry - try changing the heater element. That stopped it coming back on mine once the blockages didn't clear the code
Thanks mate .
You’ve helped me big time cheers 😉
This is brilliant and that's the exact washing machine too, so even better for me.
Thank you ever so much for the information it's working now.
Thank you so much my friend! Working! :)
Helpful video thank you!
Thanks so much mate, it's working great now; by the way, it was a 50p that caused the issue!
Thank you, it worked for me!
Good tips, thanks. Can the front drain hose get blocked also - I get the drain error code and there’s water everywhere if I take the filter out, but nothing comes out of the front hose. Thanks.
Thanks mate. Perfect!
Thanks, done the job and saved me having to call out an engineer.
Thank you soooo much😝 Your video helped two girls at midnight🤣🤣
Great video, really helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for this awesome!
Thansks for showing! Greetings from Sweden!
Welcomes!
Smear petroleum jelly on the groove before refitting to prevent limescale build up and easier removal each time!
P Bangs you’d be amazed how often I hear that! Good tip.
Thank you so much!!
tack för att du finns
Thank you very much, a very handy guide. I found one of those colour capture sheets blocking mine.
But did it capture the colour?
@@garrethbert well it was a gloomy shade of grey!
Thank you. All sorted
Thank you although I can’t open the white screw cap. I keep turning but cannot prize it off!
Big thanks. My filter was blocked with all sorts of stuff including coin!
Thank you mate. Never had an error message before. My god did that water smell. Thank you 😁
Cheers. Worked like a dream.
Hooray!
Thanks very much. Saved us a lot of money. Found a coin and button in there.
Cheers for this, spent about 15 mins waiting for the water to drain out lol.
Hate the new UA-cam. Yeah apparently there’s a drain cycle I could have used
Great vid another vid I watched didnt show the drain pipe so had me cupping water out am disabled so that hurt !! Thank Very Much
Yo this video is sick
Thanks skipper👍
Thanks! Great video. Terrible washing machine. No pully thing so wet floor - ha!
valthorens7373 worst washing machine I’ve ever had
Thank for the help. P.s Nice shot of the towel Not the machine :-)
Ive pulled out the filter and cleaned it then swirled around the impeller and have found nothing. The washer is till showing E03 error code so what do I do now?
thank you so much for the information i got it fix thank you
Bro you helped me out..
Thank you 🙏
In can't get to that pipe you pull out, it just looks like a plug that can't be removed.
EDIT: apparently on some models there is no pipe. Just lay down some towels and unscrew the big one.
And you can set it to drain before you do this to save on towels!
Cheers for that, i tried it previously but it didn’t work. Tried removing the black hose from the drum to the filter also but it was clear too. Remove the drainage hose next? Reluctant to just coz it’s near electrics. Don’t wanna mess with it. Might just call someone out.
Charlotte Baker hi Charlotte, tbh it hasn't bothered us in a while now. Trying to remember what I did apart from just clean what I saw I could get access to. Had it on its back for a while to try and access other areas but very cautious about tinkering too much with a washing machine, scary electrics in there! Large capacitors etc. I don't think this video helped tbh. If I remember anything I'll post back. Good luck with it! Hope you get sorted.
Hi I did this still having error E03 checked the impeller and does have resistance when spinning by hand but there’s nothing inside it’s clean and holding water in the rubber hose I’m stumped
Thank you for this video, much appreciated
you saved my a$$ thank you
Thank you very much!!!!! much appreciated! Bless you! :D :D fixed it immediately!! :)
You're welcome!
Hi there, I can't get the hose out because I don't have a pully thing on the end like yours does?
maybe lever it out with a screwdriver then?
I hear it all the time. People just don't got the pully thing. Wish I could help.
Its not the problem with my machine the main drain hose is clear and the waste water is also clear , ive replaced the pressure switch and its still giving E03 but if i put it on a manual drain it finishes fine . Any ideas ?( checked the resistance of the heater element and its mid range of the expected value -apparently a failing heater can cause E03 as well)
Hmmm. That's a doozy - I can't think of anything else. Sorry :(
My model doesn't have one of those hoses. It looks blocked off. Only has a drain filter. Any suggestions?
What did you do in the end? Mine is the same
So I have a Hoover. I replaced the water pump and housing as I thought this was the issue. Pipes leading to the drain outside is clear. Still water isn't draining. Any ideas?
Maybe the controller board is soaked / fried? They get so moist that sometimes they're just toast
Thanks a lot! Very helpful video. I appreciate it!. Couldn't get the hose out but a LOT of water plus coin and other small material came out from the big one!
I should have called the video: How to find coins that aren't down the back of the sofa
Thanks for the informatiion, job done, crisis averted.
Hooray!
When i remove that white thing it comes out WITHOUT the black thing.. HOW!!
what did you do to fix it?! I have the same problem :(
@@xclutchingmycure I ended up removing the whole pump (from underneath the waching machine, unscrewing its two 7mm screws). Proceeded to disassemble the pump and removing that black thing. It's relatively an easy thing to do (3 screws, then pushing the black thing out by thumb), just watch out for the hoses when you detach and re-attach them.
@@husseinel-hajj7818 Thank you! Managed to click the front of it back on the pump, then it came out easily! Phew, so glad I didn't need to dismantle it!
@@xclutchingmycure Great! I tried doing that but mine was so clogged up it didn't move at all and I was afraid to break it while pulling it. Funny thing is the washing machine completely broke down the next day due to another failure, and the machine is less than 2 years old 🤦🏻♂️ I replaced it with a Siemens one.
No hose next to my filter ??
Excellent, a hair grip and a pound coin (result!) in the filter, TFP
You were lucky - I only got 5p.
I've cleaned mine but I still get E03. I noticed too that the washing machine will just sit there draining for the entire cycle but doesn't actually do anything else. I cleaned the entire drainage system. Any ideas?
It could be that your heater element is scaled up. Sometimes that throws an E03 error. It's about £20 and 10 minutes to swap it out. That fixed my E03 error for good.
I only get the E03 on a 40 degree wash every other was is OK
@@garrethbert it does indeed... see my reply to Andrew White above..!!!
Hi any ideas why I get error 03 only on a wash cycle. If I rinse and drain all ok. But on a wash it drains empty then 03 code. Thanks same machine as this.
I think it might be your heating element - they sometimes throw an E03 code. It makes no sense, but if you replace the element (about £15 and a few bolts) your luck may improve
My filter won't come out. I've turned it anti clockwise and the cap comes off but the actual filter is still inside. Any ideas on how I can get it out?
turn in half way then pull it out
thanks for this, even an idiot like myself managed to fix it 👍🏻
Tried this but when twisted it the plastic spun but wouldn't come out then the button came away from the hose and water came out from under the machine??,
Thank you so much! I’ve used your method once or twice. The problem is that it keeps on happening and I noticed that sometimes it doesn’t take the fabric conditioner in. Is there anything else I can do?
It might be worth cleaning out the fabric conditioner / washing powder drawer. You can take it out and soak out all the gunk. Also the pipe below that can get clogged, so putting a mix of bleach and water in the drawer, leaving it for 30 minutes and then running the machine empty on the hottest cycle might clear it.
If that doesn’t work, reply and there are some more things to try
@@garrethbert thank you!I have tried to put the machine on auto wash, but it stopped again with some water in the drum, causing me to open the filter again
@@ilariarigoni6885 that sucks.
First thing, try unplugging machine for 5 minutes, plugging back in then turn washer to drain / spin cycle. Does that clear the error?
If not, then check the flexible drain hose at the back of the machine for obstructions and kinks. And check the drain it connects to for blockages (is it connected to a slow draining kitchen sink u-bend?)
When the washer stops to try to drain, do you hear a gurgling noise? (Trying to see if the pump is turning on)
@@garrethbert Yes I hear the gurgling noise and when I turn the machine off and then on again, the error is still showing😞 so for now I empty the filter and wash it, but I had to call someone who is coming soon and hopefully sort it. I think that the problem is in the pipes, as you say.
@@ilariarigoni6885 so it got sorted or not ?
How can a drain pump be blocked when I have a brand new washing machine, first wash?
Hoover!
Cheers fella
Welcome!
DYN7125D3 model .how this repair when eo3 comes ...
I don’t have the pull out hose to drain water in my machine dyn8164d2x. How do I drain it please ?
For this machine, you have to get the drain pipe at the back of the machine. Take the loose end and lower it so it points into a bowl. That lets you drain the final dregs. Then you can spin the filter at the front of the machine and clean it. You still need a towel!
how easy should the fan spin, mines seems like spring loaded and spins in steps like
Er. Not sure what you mean. the drum is on a belt connected to the motor - it should rotate reasonably smoothly
@@garrethbert no the fan behing the filter once you unscrew it
I do that but is still showing E03
I’ve got the same washing machine as you yet I don’t have a drainage hose like you ?
What did you do in the end? Mine is the same
@@amytaylor7183 mine too! I ended up just pouring it on to 5 towels.... and squeezing the water out on the sink.
@@AlejandroRodriguez-eo5jm I found that doing a couple of drain and spin cycles beforehand really helped reduce flooding x
@@amytaylor7183 thanks!!!! I just restarted the machine now... Let's hope it doesn't get clogged again. I'll do a couple of empty circles after. Thanks again!
Just tried this and my model doesn’t have a hose pipe next to the drain filter! Is my only option now to open the drain filter and flood my kitchen? 😂
Towels! Lots of towels!
It's working thanks 🙌
Didn't have a pull out water pipe bit, didn't seem to be much water anyway.... No there was masses of smelly water. Nice big clean up ahead, but washing machine is fixed. Good few coins and stones (from my 6 yr olds pockets) in the filter.
Hi internet works. BUT my problem is the error code is 303 - anyone have any idea whats wrong?
If cleaning up the pump didn't work for you, then it's the heating element. I replaced mine and error went away.
masterfan0 exactly - same happened to me. Error went away at first, then kept coming back. Eventually changed element and it went away forever
If anyone doesn't have the hose thing on the right be prepared for a waterfall to come out when you unscrew the drain, like other people said get a mop ready or some towels, even better set your machine on drain mode prior
Yes - I think setting the drain cycle before hand would be the smart thing to do!
Well, it cleared it but sadly our machine didn’t have a hose. Opened the thing and water went everywhere!
Hope you had the towels ready!
No blockage but still won't drain any ideas
faulty pump. Does it have E03 code only, or some other codes too?
I did this, still not starting 😣😢
It could be the heater element then :(
Mines coming up with h04
Mine doesn't have a pull out drainage pipe?!?
There must be some way to get the water out. It might just be like a bung and pop out. Followed by a gush of soapy frothy grey water
Mine too
They takes money but can't see the satisfaction of customer. Can't give small pipe to drain out the water
The place where he pulls out the very convenient hose there is a stopper, when I have to pull out filter I have to lay down shed loads of towels 😣
