HOTPOINT FDW60P DISHWASHER

IF THE WATER IN PORTABLE DISHWASHER AT THE BOTTOM IS MORE THAN THE DRAIN HOSE FULL OF WATER THEN ASK WARRANTY PEOPLE. WHEN PUMPING WATER UP IT CAN ONLY PUMP SO MUCH WATER OUT OF HOSE BEFORE THE WATER DRAINS BACK INTO DISHWASHER.-- HOPE THIS HELPS

hello there Here is the diagram we talked about

Hello,
It sounds like the leak is coming from the water intake hose.
The water intake house is located at the bottom sump of the dishwasher. To get to it the dishwasher has to be taken out and put on its back and the floor plan needs to come off. The intake hose runs from the inlet valve under your sink and attaches to the sump with a metal keeper. Overtime the part of the hose where the keeper is cracks (Normal wear and tear). As I recall the intake hose runs approx. $129.99 from Miele direct. It comes with an inlet valve on the hose. there is no separate or substitute hose you can use.

Good luck

I phoned Hotpoint. Was told to switch everything off and take the plug out for ten minutes - I didnt do that before, I just plugged it straight back in. I did this and was able to run the machine during the night on the programme I wanted. At least if it happens again I know what to do.. This solution will cost you nothing.

You probably need a new dishwaher. I have seen a few sprung door hinges repaired which worked OK, but most still leak after a costly repair. Your call and good luck. Ken

Hi, Hotpoint FDW60 got a concealled element.
You need to unplug and disconnect the dw, lay it flat on its back and remove the bottom tray (depending on the final letter for your model (FDW60G, FDW60P, FDW60T) you might need to remove the side panels and kickboard to release the bottom tray). Carefull with the floater switch. You should be able to locate the element straight away. Replace it and reverse the process.
Cheers

the fault wasn't with the machine. we got new waste pipes put in and the conection for the dishwasher hose didn't have the hole for the water to release. thank you for your help

Did you have a dishwasher before? If so, you must have had a sink tail piece with a dishwasher drain coming off the side. For the connection, you may have to get an adapter to fit the end of the dishwasher drain hose to the sink tail piece. Take all pieces to hardware store if necessary to get an adapter which fits. After you connect the drain hose, make sure that the drain hose has a "high loop", meaning that the hose curls up at least 6 inches above the connection point before it goes down again. This is important to keep sink waste from getting back into the diswasher hose if the sink drain backs up.

Press and hold the start and the on/off buttons together. It should come out of demo mode.

you are probably plumbed in under the sink for the drain hose. a common problem is water coming back down the drain hose when you empty the sink. if so take the drain hose up as far as possible in a swan neck. other possibility is a leaking fill valve
