Does your dishwasher have a built in disposal?

Too much soap use less soap

To reset a programme in progress, open the door and press the push button of the programme under way for more then 1 second, until the corresponding indicator light goes out. The dishwasher is now reset and you can select a new programme. Dado

A very common cause of this is the electric solenoid operated inlet valve failing in the closed position. So when it gets a "go" signal it does not open. The spare part is cheap, so most of the cost would be a service call.

are the dishes spotty or cloudy? if so it is your hard water and not the dishwasher. go to www.dishwasherfilter.com and get their system. works awesome and guaranteed to solve your problem if the dishes are cloudy or have a white residue on them.

It is possible that the machine does not start off the cycle because there are errors or feedback from the inputs. For the program to start up the main program controller must initiate the INLET/PUMP MOTOR/DRAIN to work when it is commanded .If this does not happen then the voltage at these points must be checked or the fault relates to no voltage/drive from the controller. This means the controller is a suspect.

Check how to remove the control panel: http://www.espares.co.uk/advice/dishwashers/a/3/1287/how-to-replace-a-hotpoint-dishwasher-fascia-p.html

If the water flows then the flow should be good, if not the inlet valve is bad or there is dirt in the filter. Also check the flow at the inlet of the water line. What is most important for the motor to start functioning is that the door switch must be ON when the door is shut or this will be an error for starting the motor. The water pressure must be good and the spraying must be seen to be good. If there is low pumping or pressure then the spray arms will not turn around to inject with pressure. If so the pump must be checked for clogging.

Finally after the wash the drain valve will be activated, the water is allowed to come in to rinse and then finally the drain valve/pump activated so as to drain off all the water.

Make sure that a fault in any of the cycle will relate to the specified action, so check the command from the program module and then the executing device be it the valve or motor or pump.

Possible that the main controller board is not working and so the drain was interupted or stopped thus resulting in the water remaining within the drum.
You will need to trace the main power to the control board and see if there was a break in the wire or a possible failure of the controller unit. If there is no output when plugged and start is initiated then the controller is a suspect.
Take estimate and decide.

Hi

Try and Hold down on/off and prog 2 for 5 sec. When the "fac" flashes on display then Press prog 2 until display "ron". Press prog 3 until "c8 / 1 or c8/3." Press prog 1 until "c8/0". Press prog 3 until "ron". Now switch off & switch on and you are good to go. Hope this helps... Please post back if you need more information.

Hi,

There are three common problems that cause the Soap Dispenser or Cup not to open. I have a tip that will explain these problems in detail....Dishwasher Repair Problem Detergent Cup does not Openheatman101

Hi,
Check your heating element..
A bad heating element causes many problems in dishwashers...

Asker's Testimonial " explanation very clear. will give it a go and seehow simple it was. thanks Ronnie " - ronnieshomes

Almost certainly the control board has gone faulty. The favorite is the transformer burns or the thyristor gets very hot and burns due to a bad solder joint. Quickest no noncense repair is to bite the bullet and install a new board.

Check drain valve. Clean the valve seating area.

The slight buzz is coming from the water inlet valve solinoid. It's OK.

But check whether water is getting into the inlet tube of the washer. Check the filter at the rear of the dish washer body wher the inlet tube from your water tap is connected.

Hi it sounds like a blocked water pump

Hi blocked drain plug or pump is blocked

Hi.


Check if the water is flowing inside machine or not.


If the tub is not filling, test the water level device (usually a float switch located on a side inside the tub).

Ensure that the switch is not stuck, and test the switch using a multimeter to ensure it is closing and opening. Disconnect power before testing the switch.


If water level is OK, then test the water valve.

The inlet valve is tested reading impedance on valve solenoid contacts. Disconnect power and remove the valve first.

If the valve solenoid is showing no continuity, then the valve must be replaced.

A dual valve sometimes can also be tested swapping hot and cold inlet contacts.


All test and repairing must be done by a professional.

should do try google model number /spares

Make sure you get water to the dishwasher. Check to see if the water shut-off valve (located under the sink) is open. If you get water to the dishwasher, but there is still no water inside during the fill cycle, the problem might be with a faulty water valve (located at the bottom of the dishwasher, behind the kick panel, on either side), in which case replace the water valve.

Hello Paul, The first thing to try is to clean the filters at the rear pipe(s) that connect to the main water supply. It is quite common that when the water-flow is impeded, the programs may stop with flashing lights depending on the rate/amount of blockage.
So, pull out the unit and disconnect the rear pipe and give the in-line filters(s) a good going-over. Please let me know if this does the trick...
Best Regards,

Peter...
