20 Most Recent Hotpoint 24 in. FDW60 Free-standing Dishwasher - Page 6 Questions & Answers

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.

also check for a burned heating element, once you locate the element in the lower dish washer look i over for damage , you could also remove the wires from the lower element and then try ad see if it works ifthe unit works replace the element you have a short somewhere just trying to eleminate some items

Question : has it always done this?? is it hooked up to the hot water and is the water HOT !!! 140-145 degrees

Try resetting cycle-Push cycle select and cycle start together till you hear a long beep followed by three short beeps.this will cancel previous selection and allow a new program to be selected

the way I clear a cycle on my FDW50 is to open door,push and hold cycle selector and cycle start until you hear prolonged beep followed by three short beeps-this will cancel whatever has been selected

first make sure you have water going in , then if you d have water the next thing the water valve needs to be located , it will have a hose going into it and a hose coming out of it and two wires on it , when the dial is set to fill with water you should have 120 voilts on the two wires , if you hve th epoawer then the water valve is not workingthis is a easy fix and cheep aso same valve is used on washers , get back to me after you have done some more research

Hi The element is on the bottom , so if you disconect water and power then turn unit over so it is laying on the front door , you will see the two connections where the two wires connect to the element and also should see how to remove the element at this time , it's not a hard job just takes some time to get to it

Hi First you have to check the water valve to see if it has power during the time it should be filling the washer , Set the unit to fill and wash you know where it normally starts filling with water , remove the two wires from the water valve and check to see if you have power going to the valve , you have to eleminate things to find out what the problem is , if you have power then check to see if you have water to the valve, if you have water and you have power but you arent getting water then the water valve is bad , and this will be a cheep easy fix , have a good day

it sounds like the water valve is trying to open , I would unplug the two wires to the water valve and see if the noise goes away , remove power to unit first then unplug the two wires

A99 is a communication error. Try unplugging your dishwasher for 10 minutes and then try it again. If you still get an A 99 code that suggests a problem in the control board in the dishwasher. In this instance I recommend an engineer as it can be extremely difficult to fault find this error.

Hope this helps.
