FAST 40 DEGREE, DELICATE 50 DEGREES & SALT REFILL LIGHTS ARE FLASHING, WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

The code is a10 this is normally a heating issue but could also be a foaming problem which could also be your poor washing results put a cleaner through with a lime scale remover

check the filters in the hot water lines

If you are in a cold area, having it outside isn't helping you. Tank less heaters only raise the water temperature 40 - 70 degrees. If you had 50 degree water coming in and it is 35 degrees outside, you will be lucky to get 90 degree water.

this does mean draining cycle has timed out due to either blockage or faulty pump...

I have a Hotpoint Aquarius SDW 60 The delay 3hr &12hr lights are flashing at the same time. Machine won't start. If the door is slamed shut. It get stuck on the Fast & Prewash 40 degree cycle. and stays there.

I have DWT10P dishwasher.It is displaying two rapidly fashing E lights (Fast & Delicate )wash cycle.Can you tell me what its mean?

I had the same problem with my Hotpoint FDW60 and read all the online reviews about how baddly made the FDW60 is and after taking it apart I totally agree.

As the warning lights were indicating a faulty heating element I checked it to find that it was not working. I bought a replacement for £43 at my local electrical store (I think they then ordered it online). Taking the bottom off is easy but once off, it is very difficult to actually get to the element, but it can be done. I had to buy new hose clips to fasten the rubber pipe each side too. It has been on twice today and so far so good.

I have read some message boards and have seen that some people have had to replace the element a number of times, so I will wait and see what happens.

Be aware the heating element is not your usual heating element, it looks more like a insulated metal tube: http://www.buyspares.co.uk/cgi-bin/search.pl?query=heating+element+fdw60

Good luck
