Fdw fault eco and fast flashing - Hotpoint 24 in. FDW60 Free-standing Dishwasher

My Eco light was flashing fast ,and the drain pump was running continuasly.It turned out at the drip tray was full of water and micro switch add activated . i tipped the machine forward drain the water off the machine as be working fine since. PS dont know why drip add so much water in it, unless theres a leak. ???

this does mean draining cycle has timed out due to either blockage or faulty pump...

ur eyes r stresed out need rest and pad of milks

Check pump is running

hotpoint dwf50 will not start, the fast wash and prewash buttons are flashing together.

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!

Don't forget to rate me!

This is a bad control board that if replaced will only repeat in a short time .My advice is to contact the manufacturer and complain,you have the right as a consumer to do so.

Hold down the start key and you will re- set the D/W.

Blockage in internal pipework causing water not to circulate fast enough to stop switch activating. Regards Advisor

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
