Hoover OPH147

[jay158]

Hi everyone.
I have a Hoover Optima OPH147 washing machine that has developed a fault. Mid-way through the cycle it stops and the cold wash light flashes (I haven't selected the cold wash function). Does anyone know what I can do to work out the fault? I am guessing that the flashing is a fault code but can't find a listing anywhere!
Any help would be very welcome.
Thanks.

The "flashing light" is an error code. Count the repeating sequence & post it here....

Hi Zipper
The light flashes 14 times.
Thanks

Heating issue.
Pull the plug, take off the rear cover & check wiring to the element is intact. Measure the element & NTC with a multimeter.
Heater should be around 26 ohms, NTC probably around 4-6 kohms with a rapidly decreasing resistance when warmed.
