Hotpoint Dishwashers - Popular Questions, Answers, Tips & Manuals

Here's what you can do to address this issue:

1. Check the Salt Level: Ensure that the salt reservoir is filled with dishwasher salt. The dishwasher needs salt to soften the water and improve the cleaning performance. If the salt level is low or empty, refill the reservoir with dishwasher salt.
2. Check the Salt Dispenser Cap: Make sure that the salt dispenser cap is securely closed. If it's not closed properly, it can cause the "X" symbol to appear on the display.
3. Reset the Dishwasher: Try resetting the dishwasher by turning it off at the mains power supply for a few minutes, then turning it back on. This can sometimes clear error codes and restore normal operation.
4. Check for Blockages: Ensure that the salt dispenser and its inlet are free from any blockages or obstructions that could prevent salt from dissolving properly.
5. Consult the Manual: If the issue persists, refer to the dishwasher's user manual for troubleshooting steps specific to your model. The manual may provide additional information about error codes and how to resolve them.

If none of these steps resolve the issue and the "X" symbol continues to appear on the display, it may indicate a more significant problem with the dishwasher that requires professional diagnosis and repair. In such cases, contacting Hotpoint customer service or a qualified appliance technician for assistance is recommended.

Each time you push delay, it should add 2 more hours. If not, it will only delay for 2hours.

Check the leak tray inside the base of the machine and see if there is water in there. There is a sensor to detect small leaks.

The rear legs may not be adjustable - only the front.

try just putting it in the bottom of the machine where the water goes

At 5 months old it should be still under warranty and qualify for free repair...

I once bumped the water supply shut-off under the sink and turned the supply off at the shutoff. Other than that, have you had any work done on the hot water tank recently ?

I also encountered a similar problem. It was not possible to contact the service center, so I searched for a solution on the Internet, and found it on this site - https://washingcodes.com/blog/#.XFwRwFUzaUk

Hi there, I am from the UK so model numbers vary but all basically the same. Do not fear it is simple really. You need to take the door from it's hinges first. It will either have screws or bolts to the door or frame of the machine. Now you have the door dismantled and in your hands. place upside down and you will see screws ??? they will be situated around the door ?? the door comes in two parts and the glass is sandwiched between the two parts. ( Take photo if in need ) you will see see a metal shaft and spring where your handle will fit. All the best and Happy Christmas from the UK

You need to start by checking the drain and drain pump. This is probably where the problem is.

Could be the pump

Pour water in to displace the salt, then drain the machine down

A rug cleaner or a wet dry vac are excellent choices to empty water from a dishwasher. Look at the float like device that is on a corner of the unit. Does it move freely up and down? Is it waterlogged? Carefully clean the shaft if you can reach it, otherwise move it up and down to clear the shaft. You should also hear a faint click at either end of travel. One for full and the other for empty (On drain).

Sorry have no idea, that is an "O" ring, sure it didn't come off something you washed?

Are we talking a lot or a little? If the unit is not draining at all then there might be something stuck in the drain pump impellor stopping it from turning at all, or stopping it running as quickly as it should so doesn't drain all the water. Is the drain outlet too high? This can cause the drain pump to struggle to reach the head height, also, water can run back from the drain pipework if blockage or height too high
