Hotpoint BF1620 Integrated dishwasher not working

From what you're describing, there might be an issue with the detergent reacting with something in the water. Also, check the water temperature. Any detergent needs to have HOT water--at least 120 degrees or above to activate and clean properly! I also recommend ALWAYS using the high temp wash, boost, or whatever it's called to keep the water very hot throughout the cycle if your washer has that feature.

That is not a valid model number

There is a malfunction of the washer controller. Hence the mode is not shifting off from the pump as it does not end the programme. Hence you will have to confirm the output of the controller if the drive is short or functioning by itself. Since even after changing the prog there is no change the controller must be replaced. Be sure to clean the pump to see if the drain is working fine. Try this out and hope you get the fault.Good day

Tilt the machine on it's back, remove and clean out the pump

This is happening because you have a very bad fault, a Phase to Earth short, problem. Leave machine UNPLUGGED, Breaker/Fuses OUT. do NOT use it, nor Touch it, It is possible to get severe electric shock. PLEASE get a registered serviceman to inspect this unit.

To better assist you I need the Hotpoint Model n serial # look like this;

Hi ,When this happens I keep the button with the letter "P" Pressed until the fault lifgt resets,my row of buttons is inside the top edge of the unit.

1. No power to the dishwasherMake sure there's power getting to the dishwasher. Check for a tripped circuit breaker or a blown fuse. Check the wall socket for power. Sometimes the power cord disconnects at the dishwasher (inside the junction box, behind the bottom kick panel), if this is the case, the wiring must be repaired or replaced.

2. Door switch
Replace if defective.

3. Timer
Replace if defective (note: uncommon problem).

4. Selector switch
Replace if defective (note: uncommon problem).
