Hoover VTS 714D21/1-80 Washing Machine Start/Pause Button Top Missing

If your Hoover VTS 714D21/1-80 washing machine is missing the start or pause button on top, you're not alone—this is a common wear issue on many older models. The good news is that replacement parts are available, and the repair is usually straightforward.

Identifying the Right Part

The first step is to confirm which component you actually need. In most cases, a standalone button assembly (often listed as part 19A for this model) will resolve the problem. However, if the button housing or surround is also damaged or cracked, you may need to replace the entire front control panel instead.

Some replacement panels, such as part 328A, come with integrated buttons already installed. Before ordering, check the product photos and specification sheets carefully to ensure the part includes the button mechanism you require. Diagrams can sometimes be unclear, so detailed images from multiple angles are essential.

Where to Find the Part

Start by browsing our website for both new and used control panels and button assemblies compatible with your model. Used panels are often available at a significantly lower cost than new ones, and they work just as well if they're in good condition. Filter by your machine's model number to narrow down compatible options quickly.

Getting Expert Help

If you're unsure which part to order, don't guess. Contact our team directly—we can review photos of your machine and point you to the exact part you need. Our advisors can often spot the right component from clear images and help you avoid ordering the wrong item. We're also available via WhatsApp for quick consultations if you'd like to discuss the repair in more detail.

Once you've identified and ordered the correct part, installation typically involves removing a few screws and disconnecting the old button assembly before fitting the new one. Most repairs take just a few minutes with basic tools.
