Anonymous Posted on Apr 09, 2017

FDW60 dishwasher - taken apart pump and that is clear. Seems that dishwasher fills, and empties and heats all OK but water wont go around the machine ie the motor pump doesnt start - any idea how to take this out and replace without having engineer around? Taken small pump apart and its clear. First of all the Eco and fast light flashed, then we took it apart with some direction from online discussion advice. Now Eco and Pre wash lights are flashing. Machine empties water, then fills with water and then nothing. Have done this a few times now, but the machine wont start to circulate water after filling. PLEASE HELP!!! Thanks

I too had this problen today. Printed off a manual from the Hotpoint website. Very helpful troubleshoot section. Anyway, flashing eco and fast lights and beeping sound indicates 'water feed pipe blocked' You need to check the water inlet connections on your tap.However, when we pulled it out we noticed the blue water inlet pipe was slightly kinked. Straightened this out and hey presto! It works fine again. How this happens when its worked ok for 18 months will never know but still. Try it! hope this was helpful...shewoo

SOURCE: FDW60

I had a hotpoint engineer try to fix this type of problem.
He insisted that there was something stuck in the bottom of the pump.

Sure enough there was.
1. Unplug your dishwaser at the wall.
2. Remove the grill under the bottom rack.
3. Ensure that the filter is free from food and other obstacles and clean the filter.
4. Before replacing filter etc, get a piece of metal coat hanger wire and care fully insert it down the channel under the filter to free any lodged items. You may also see a small white impleller try to turn this with your finger or the coat hanger wire (this is the info from the engineer!).
5. replace filter and retry a wash.

This routine fixed or machine twice and will hopefully fix yours!

SOURCE: hotpoint fdw60 eco error code

I would like to thank Philhusbands for his advice on flashing eco light. After being told by hotpoint i would need an engineer plus call out fee. i decided to take a quick look on internet & to my surprise found this artical. So after reading it i did as advised & tipped my dishwasher to one side low & behold water came gushing out. After several minutes of mopping tried selecting programme again & it's working !!Yippee so than you who ever you are.

SOURCE: hotpoint fdw60 dishwasher, heater not heating water or drying.

If the heater is ok and the wiring is also not burnt out, then the fault will likely be the heater relay on the pcb. (Which means usually replacing the board).

Hotpoint fdw60 4th & 6th lights flashing

These two lights indicate a fault in the heating circuit.


You would require to have access to and be able to use a multimeter to test the heater if the machine isn't actually heating the water.


If it is heating the water then obviously we know the fault isn't with the heater.


Check the heater first.

Take the door apart and check the wiring in the door isn't broken.


If everything checks ok, take the pcb out, look for burned or dry joints around the relays.

E1 fault code Dishwasher runs for about 5 minutes. Water fills up at bottom of unit and then machine seems to pause then fault code E1 appears then water is pumped out from bottom of machine. There are...

Hi,
I think both the heater and thermostat / trip switches need to be checked.
If water is going in and out ok, then it seems to be waiting to heat the water. It sees a fault - so just clears out.
Heating elements do fail after a few years.

FDW60 has standing water in the bottom and will not fill up

You most likely have a stubborn clog in your kitchen drain. Try filling the sinks with warm soapy water and then letting the water drain while also turning on your garbage disposal. Sometimes the extra water pressure will help push the clog through.

Dishwasher not spraying/pumping water in wash cycle

If your dishwasher is filling, draining and the heating element is working then the wash pump motor has probably failed.

You have not provided the manufacturer and model number, so I have no way of knowing if your dishwasher has a separate drain and wash pump motor.

Hotpoint FDW60 Flashing lights 3 and 5

Is it possible that water has gotten inside the controls that could have caused the flashing lights? Kind of like spilling water on a calculator, everything seems to go haywire.

Empties and fills but boils the water

Can you hear/see any washing sound/spray, it sounds to me like the wash pump could be faulty.

FDW60 dishwasher

I've just (as of 10 minutes ago) had the same problem. I followed the advice given elsewhere in this forum and removed the bottom cover - water running out so needed a big towel to mop it up. I stood the machine upright and restarted it - no problem! it started straight away.
The question now is where is the water coming from? It seems there is obviously a leak somewhere and water is gathering in the undertray setting off the microswitch.
