Hotpoint Dishwashers

The display shows '15' and the On/Off LED is rapidly blinking. This indicates that the Dishwasher is prematurely ending its wash cycle, possibly due to issues with the drain hose or air in the water supply.

The display shows '3' and the On/Off LED is blinking rapidly. This indicates that the Dishwasher is unable to drain water, possibly due to a blockage or an issue with the drain hose.

You have selected a wash option that is not compatible with the currently chosen wash cycle. The option's indicator light will flash rapidly three times, and you will hear two short beeps.

You have selected an option that is not compatible with another option already selected. The indicator light for the first selected option will flash three times, you will hear three beeps, and that option will be deselected automatically. The most recently selected option will remain active.

When you attempt to select an option that is not compatible with the currently chosen wash program, the corresponding LED for that option will flash rapidly three times. This will be accompanied by beeping sounds, indicating that the option cannot be activated.

The display shows '9' or '12', and the On/Off LED is blinking rapidly. This indicates that the Dishwasher is not responding to commands, possibly due to a temporary electronic issue.

The ON/OFF indicator light flashes, and the display shows "A 6". This alarm indicates that the Dishwasher is not receiving water, possibly because the water tap is turned off, the water supply is interrupted, or the appliance's lock was activated after beeps.

The ON/OFF indicator light flashes, and the display shows "A 7". This alarm signals a problem with the water inlet, most likely due to the water inlet filter being blocked by impurities, or an issue with the inlet hose.

'Blocked Drain' or 'C1' appears if the pump out takes longer than 95 seconds. 'C2' is displayed if the total pump out time exceeds 405 seconds, indicating a significant drainage issue.

This display appears if the control is not receiving signals that the wash arm is rotating, usually 45 seconds after a fill period. The cycle will stop.

Bluish streaks or films appearing on your dishes after a wash cycle typically indicate that an excessive amount of rinse aid is being dispensed. This can affect the clarity and appearance of glassware and crockery.

The Dishwasher's control did not receive the correct electrical signal indicating the drain sensor switch closed and the drain solenoid activated for pump out. This condition typically requires professional service.

The Dishwasher has detected an overfill condition, or the flood switch circuit is open, indicating too much water has entered the tub.

The Dishwasher experienced a short drain period, meaning the drain solenoid energized and pump out started, but no water was detected in the tub.

The Dishwasher's water temperature did not reach the correct level even after maximum extended wash time with the heater on.

The Dishwasher's heat sensor (Thermistor) is disconnected or has an open circuit, indicating it cannot properly read the water temperature. This condition typically requires professional service.

This display indicates that the detergent cup is blocked from opening fully during the wash cycle.

This display reminds you that the detergent cup has not been closed. The cycle will not start if the cup is open.

Your dishes and other crockery are still wet or damp after the wash cycle has completed, even without visible water drops or limescale.

The wash cycle will pause if the Dishwasher door is opened during operation or if there is a power interruption. The machine stops to ensure safety and allow for user intervention.

This indicates a general failure of the Dishwasher's drain system to operate correctly.

The detergent cup will not close and latch correctly if the cycle dial is not set to the OFF position before you add detergent. This prevents the Dishwasher from starting the wash cycle correctly.

If detergent gets into the salt container during a wash cycle, it can cause irreversible damage to the water softener. This usually happens if the salt dispenser cap is not screwed on tightly.

After a wash cycle, dishes, glasses, or cutlery still have food residues or are not thoroughly clean. This can stem from various loading, cycle selection, or maintenance issues.

An alarm sounds if the Dishwasher door is not closed within 4 seconds after pressing the START/Pause button. This indicates that the wash cycle has not successfully begun.

The Dishwasher door does not latch or close completely, preventing the appliance from starting. This is usually due to the door lock mechanism being released or misaligned.

The Dishwasher is unusually loud during operation, beyond its normal working sounds. This could be due to items rattling inside or an issue with foam.

After the wash cycle finishes, you notice foam residue remaining inside the Dishwasher. This indicates that too much detergent was used, or the wrong type of detergent was selected. Excessive foam can also lead to poor wash results and noise.

Glasses may appear permanently cloudy due to etching. This can happen when too much detergent is used, especially if your water is soft. Etching is a permanent condition.

The display shows 'H' and '6' with the On/Off LED rapidly blinking. This signals that the Dishwasher is not receiving water, often due to a problem with the water supply or inlet hose.

The Dishwasher is taking longer than 90 seconds to drain water from the tub. This indicates a potential draining obstruction or issue.

The LOW RINSE AID indicator light on the control panel is illuminated. This indicates that the rinse aid dispenser needs to be refilled. Rinse aid helps crockery dry better and prevents streaks.

If the rinse aid dosage level has been set to ZERO (ECO) in the Dishwasher's settings, the LOW RINSE AID indicator light will not illuminate even if the rinse aid dispenser runs empty. This is expected behavior for this specific setting.

The LOW SALT indicator light on the control panel is illuminated, or the green float in the salt dispenser cap is no longer visible. This means the refined salt level in the dispenser is low. Adding salt helps remove limescale from the water.

The Dishwasher will not begin or continue a cycle if the door is not securely closed. If the door is opened for more than 4 seconds during a cycle, the program will be interrupted.

The Dishwasher is not starting or responding to commands, likely due to a lack of power. This can be caused by the appliance not being properly plugged in or a power outage.

The Dishwasher fails to start when commanded, or the controls do not respond as expected. This could be due to a power issue, the door not being fully closed, or a temporary electronic glitch.

After a cycle, or during operation, water remains in the bottom of the Dishwasher and does not drain out. This can be caused by obstructions or issues with the drain system.

Too much water has entered the Dishwasher. The Dishwasher should automatically pump water out if the door is closed and latched.

This display replaces 'LD' and indicates that the Dishwasher has still not drained water after an additional 5 minutes beyond the normal drain time. This suggests a significant drain blockage.

This display indicates that a power failure occurred while the Dishwasher door was latched. The previously selected wash cycle may have been erased.

A power failure has occurred in your home. This message indicates that the previous cycle selection was erased, and the Dishwasher's control has automatically selected a default wash cycle.

The RINSE AID REFILL indicator light on the control panel turns on when the rinse aid dispenser is low. Rinse aid is crucial for optimal drying results and preventing water marks on dishes.

The indicator light for rinse aid is on, meaning the dispenser needs refilling. After refilling, the light may remain lit for several wash cycles.

The SALT REFILL indicator light illuminates on the control panel when the salt reservoir is low and requires refilling. Maintaining proper salt levels prevents limescale accumulation on dishes and internal components.

The indicator light for salt is on, signaling that the salt reservoir is low or empty. After you refill the reservoir, the light may remain lit for several wash cycles before turning off.

After washing, your dishes and glasses appear to have streaks or a bluish tint. This usually happens when the rinse aid dosage setting is too high for your water conditions.

Flooding can occur if lime builds up in the water valve, causing it to stick in the open position. This issue is more common in areas with hard water, especially without a water softener.

Visible drops of water or noticeable limescale marks remaining on dishes after a wash cycle suggest that the rinse aid dosage is insufficient. This can lead to poor drying performance and residue.

You find drops of water, white film, or limescale marks remaining on your crockery after the wash cycle. This indicates that the rinse aid dosage is too low, or there might be an issue with the refined salt level or water hardness setting.
