Hotpoint FDW 85 Dishwasher

dishwasher always full of water at the end of cycle

I found these error codes for the hotpoint fdw80

AL01 - Anti flood switch operated
AL02 - Valve or connections
AL03 - Time out - drain
AL04 - Thermistor (module)
AL05 - Circulation pump
AL06 - Time out - fill
AL07 - Not used
AL08 - Time out - heat
AL09 - Software recogntion error
AL10 - Heating circuit
AL99 - Communications error - connectors, cables etc.
H20 - Time out - fill (taps)

Now looking at AL10 error. Most often it is the heater element which is not effective due to scale formation. Make a solution of white vinegar and water (50:50) pour it onto the base of the dishwasher. Leave overnight and run dishwasher as normal. Somehow the vineger has to reach the heating element which is an inline heater. I am assuming normally you would use the hotwater connection from the kitchen tap.

If this does not help - depends how soon into the cycle you get the error you will have to replace the heater. I think it would look like this.

I am sorry but your response time was too slow. I will not be taking you up on your offer of the assistance plan

i connected to hotpoint dishwasher manuals and it came up with my model and how to rectify the problem which following the instructions i solved the problem .

Hi yes i did post a problem on the " let our experts fix your problem for free " section, so how long is it going to take as the machine is still not working ? please advise asap

AL99 is a communications error.
check PCB(s) cabling, connectors .

Heater elements on FDW 60 do not last long at all, I am on my 3rd. You are better of buying a heating element and a decent limescale filter, otherwise it will keep happening. The flow through element builds up limescale, causing the element/thermostat to over heat.

Its a shame as they are quite a good dishwasher. Hotpoint 5 year parts warranty a waste of time. £90 call out charge.

The last one lasted 3 moths before delciates & fast light started flashing.

You can get the elements online for £40

This is going to keep breaking down,Call the manufacturer and demand a refund.

i have the same on my dishwasher and have just been looking on the net. Found out that the error code A10 means open/short circuit fill value traic. Whatever that means!!! and to book a service engineer. Hope that helps

MY DISHWASHER TASTES OF SALT AFTER EVERY WASH .I HAVE RINSED IT THREW AND IT STILL THE SAME
