20 Most Recent Hotpoint 23 in. BFI62 Built-in Dishwasher - Page 6 Questions & Answers

Check your air gap on your kitchen sink. If equipped, you will most likely find it clogged. Pull off the metal cap, then unscrew the white or clear cap. You should find your clog there. Replace both caps and remember to pre-rinse the dishes better before loading.

I think if you push the heated wash and heated dry button several times until all the buttoms light up this will fix your problem.

 A clean light that flashed repeatedly 7 times then off. Reset as above with the heated wash and heated dry buttons. You may then noticed a reduced flow from the pump so dissasemble the lower arm and water inlet assy.You may find it mostly plugged with foregin matter and some othe junk. Upon removal of that stuff and reassembly,It may work as new!

When you switch it on can you still select the wash type ?
If you can, when you shut the door does it start the cycle normally by pumping out the sump, but then when the wash pump (the cause of the main noise during the cycle) would normally start it stops and beeps - opening the door then shows the flashing error code ?

If your symptoms are the same as above or similar, suspect the heater is stuffed. My BFI62 did the above and it turned out to be a faulty (open circuit) heater. As I had no knowledge of dishwashers at the time, I called in a repair guy. As soon as he saw the fault code he suspected the heater - seems a batch of heaters (from the USA) had proved very unreliable (apparently Hotpoint got compensation from the manufacturers because of the number of problems it caused them). The replacement was made in Germany and the repair guy said he'd not known one of those to go faulty !
The repair guy diagnosed the heater open circuit from the control panel inside the door without even removing the dishwasher from it's location. Unfortunately, I didn't have a chance to note which wires ran off the board to the heater. Changing the heater needed it out and on it's side (be prepared for quite a lot of water on the floor).

Finally, when he'd fitted the new heater, it took him two goes to get the pipes either side of it to seal properly - quite common apparently and the source of even more water on the floor !

Hope this helps.

I would assume the culprit is the glass in the pump housing. Taking out the pump is a teadious and time consuming task but can be done. Varies from model to model. Usually when hard debris gets into these pumps, unless there metal, it demolishes the plastic impeller blades and the pump must be replaced. If you wish t tackle this let me know ^_^ ill find you a new pump n the net fr the cheapest price if needed. Try taking the punp out first and cleaning it out as much as possible and let me know !

it may just need adjusting. it is located inside the top center of the door. check catch and lock. most of the lock is inside the door and is accessible by taking off the front panel.

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.

I have same issue, have just worked out that: 1=Intensive 2=Normal 3=Daily 4=Prewash 5=Eco

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.

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

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

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

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
