Hotpoint Dishwashers - Page 8 - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support

Hello J Arnott, Sorry to say I'm here in the USA.. and I could not easily get a similarly designed model to reveal itself (for me) to gain a better understanding of your Hotpoint LFT114... (nor could I pull a FREE copy of your user manual (without registering or otherwise exposing myself to cyber-freaks (sorry)). Regardless of the specifics.. suffice it to day your machine is NEW enough to be quite visible and relevant... I looked over the LFT114 HA... Display board... £42.93 (there are many LFT114 And your trouble description was quite excellent in detailing as SEQUENCE failure of your control modules... Although it is possible to repair these things ... it seems you have several PCBs (printed circuit boards)... replacement is usually the first best GUESS (looking at the back () side would not hurt anything)... I have rescued many a circuit board by simply "de-soldering"... then re-soldering a connection... (special care, skill & tools required... not tough nor expensive). You description and troubles indicated the beeps & lights missing: is a clear indictment of your "DISPLAY board"... A reminder... don't touch any PCB you value without first grounding your hands (professionals use STATIC WRIST STRAPS... CHEAP (unlike circuit boards) & available EVERYWHERE). Also... Take lots of pictures of EXACTLY WHERE every wire comes from... (look them over BEFORE you get in trouble). Be patient & FORCE nothing. and of course... be safe (REMOVE POWER). Comment me back BEFORE you guess wrong... (I'll try to help) . Spares: Hotpoint LFT114 HA PCBs Modules

Reset the power at the breaker, but you may need a new pump and motor assembly. The same pump washes and drains on most Hotpoint models- a solenoid is used to open a drain flap and let the water out, but a bad pump will equal no wash or drain...

It's probably the heater element that has gone, but it could be a simpler fault like the pressure switch not activating. See this video it should give you the general idea

Hi, i sounds like your inlet water valve is faulty better have it looked at.

Jackie, It is probably a seal(gasket) leaking, you may want a service tech. to have a look.

Hello Laurent. My name is Peter. I am a retired field service appliance technician. I need your model number to help you. It is either on the face of the dishwasher after you open the door or on the side of the door. In the meantime, turn power to your dishwasher at the breaker box. Wait 20 minutes for your dishwasher circuit system to shut down, then turn the power back on. What we are trying to do is reboot your dishwasher like you would your computer. You may have to set your delayed start because you have not completed the time setting? You may have to put the dishwasher on start and just wait until it starts. I 'am not sure because I do not have your model number.

This is a common problem. Make sure that the machine is working normal (sound of the pump) other then the water is not filling? The rubber washer has known to come loose from the stop valve under the sink and the washer can block the inlet hose to the dishwasher. On most dishwashers there is a screen just before the solenoid fill valve that can plug closed preventing the water from entering the machine. Most likely is the solenoid, as in the image below, has failed. This solenoid vale is manufacturer model specific and needs to be purchased as such. The replacements needs to be accomplished by a qualified technician. Hope this has helped? Screen can be plugged!!

If you look at the bottom arm you will notice an extension nozzle that comes up out of the center. If you block that from going up during the wash cycle with dishes then the water will not reach the top. This is what makes the top arm spin.

It is taking too long to bring the temperature of the water up to the required temperature. Defective heating element or defective temperature sensor.
