Sometimes, sadly your Hoover washer dryer will let you down. But on the plus side, if it is displaying E12 on the control panel, or an LED is flashing twelve times, pausing, then repeating, it’s easier to work out what’s wrong. These symptoms mean your machine has self diagnosed error code E12 which means there is a problem with the communication between the control board and the dryer heater sensor.

How to Diagnose and Fix Fault Code E12 on a Hoover Washer Dryer
Now that you have a general idea of the cause of the E12 error code you can roll up your sleeves and solve the problem. Here’s what you should do:
- Switch off and unplug your appliance.
- Check the wires and connections between the control board and the dryer heater sensor.
- If the wiring and connections all seem okay, suspect the control board.
