Hotpoint bf162 built-in dishwasher error codes

Hi its the light 4&6 which are flashing.

This is likely the heating element has failed. This is easy to check and replace. Here is a link that should help http://appliancehelponline.com/dishwasherheater.html

Yup, could be that pesky door latch, or even the control panel board. This could be a case for a repair man or replacement, depending on the cost.

When you keep the button pressed for a few seconds the lights go off, this resets the dishwasher. Then press the p button again to the program you want 1st light is heavy soil 2nd light is normal soil, 3rd light is eco wash, 4th light is rinse. At the end of the cycle the program light you have selected will flash.

Thankyou Loopyloolisa! you just helped me fix my unresponsive midea dishwasher! Great help

take out diswasher, tip it backwards and drain out water. make sure that salt resovoir is on tight and there are no leaks from the arms

Hi LIANNEshaun,

I'm Harvey the Master Plumber.

Your problem is: you switch on dishwasher and it seems to start then light goes onto wash and the machine stops and green light flashes

Could we have the make, model and year please?

Feel free contact me again!
Thank you,
Harvey your Master Plumber

after the 20 seconds does it restart

I think if you push the heated wash and heated dry button several times until all the buttoms light up this will fix your problem.

 A clean light that flashed repeatedly 7 times then off. Reset as above with the heated wash and heated dry buttons. You may then noticed a reduced flow from the pump so dissasemble the lower arm and water inlet assy.You may find it mostly plugged with foregin matter and some othe junk. Upon removal of that stuff and reassembly,It may work as new!

consult manual under troubleshooting.
if no manual, or if it does not address this, consult service center.

one likely cause you can try first is to disconnect it from power via the cord or a breaker. after a brief period, it may reset itself.
otherwise you likely have a logic board issue.

logic boards seem to be very vulnerable in dishwasher environments. the type of issue you have is very common among most brands. don't feel alone.

good luck
