Top 20 Hotpoint 24 in. FDW60 Free-standing Dishwasher Questions & Answers

https://www.espares.ie/advice/careandmaintenance/hotpoint-dwf50-dwm55-and-fdw60-dishwasher-error-fault-codes I have no dish washer but maybe this link may give some help. It talks about your machine may be giving you a fault code which could help narrow your search.

Empty out th bottom tray - siphon it , use sponge, whatever, Then clean out the drain and snake out the tubing in there to get rid of any debris that is causing a clog in the works.

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

google search make model number pdf and see what it comes up with...hope this helps if not ..send info here and ill try to find for you

A10 4 + 6 Heating circuit Heating element, connections, module, relay, pressure switch A10 Open circuit in heating circuit. • Check the circuit of the heating element (26 ohms). • Check for an open circuit heater cut-out. • Check pressure switch open circuit (connections 11-14). • Check wiring and connections between module card, pressure switch and heater. • If all above is OK, replace module card.

Rinse aid makes dishes sparkle more as it improves their drying. The rinse aid container is situated on the inside of the door. You should fill the rinse aid container when indicator lights up on the container and the rinse aid indicator light on the control panel flashes. You can use simple vinegar as a rinse aid (white is best but apple or malt is fine). Adding rinse aid. To open the dispenser, turn cap anticlockwise. Take care when you pour in the rinse aid to avoid it overflowing. You can regulate the amount of rinse aid used by the dishwasher, move the adjuster which you will find under lid. The amount of rinse aid needs to be increased if the dishes appear dull or you can see circular stains. The amount of rinse aid needs to be reduced if the dishes are sticky or see white streaks. You can choose from six different positions. It is normally set to 4.

If kitchen side drains are clear then there might be some blockage in the pump system. Check the drain pump is working during drain cycle. If you can hear the pump but the water does not go away then you need to check filters at base of dishwasher. Beyond that you will have to open the pump assembly to look for debris. see these instructions which might be helpful. http://jdesbonnet.blogspot.com.au/2010/11/hotpoint-aquarius-fdw60-drain-pump.html

If this happens within the first. 9 secs after filling it means you have a hearing fault

A10 is a heater fault check heater or look for poor connection on module normally the pink or blue wire

The code is a10 this is normally a heating issue but could also be a foaming problem which could also be your poor washing results put a cleaner through with a lime scale remover

You may find the spring on the door lock assembly has broken and the latch has rolled over to the locked position you can check this by setting a program and if the pimp runs with the foot open the lock has failed

If your "clean" dishes have a cloudy film, it might be hard water deposits. Here's a map to see if you have hard water. http://www.citriclean.net/why-citriclean/

I had same issue. The dishwasher drains just fine, but keeps on giving that error. Luckily, I'm still under warranty. And they said it was the ECS sensor. It thinks there is water backed up when there isn't.

Remove top of dishwasher. Under the top fitted to the frame will be an adjustment to the locking mechanism. You may need to loosen this to enable the door to lock. Be warned though that you don't loosen it too far or your dishwasher will leak.

You say you have changed the water inlet valve, I take it you mean the water inlet "Solenoid" valve, which is an electrically operated valve where the water pipe from the main supply enters the washing machine, right?And if so, you the say it still does not allow water into the machine, right?You have obviously checked that water flows through the pipe from the main supply whilst it is disconnected from the machine, right?Ok lets assume all of that.So do you know how to use a multimeter?If so set it on AC volts (anything above 250volts AV, this depends on your particular multimeter) (you can buy one for typically $10)then disconnect the two wires that are on the solenoid valve and push the two probes of the multimeter into the connectors on the ends of the two wires (one in each obviously).Now start the machine, and at the programmed point where water should be allowed to enter the machine you should see a reading of 220 to 250 Volts on the multimeter. If you don't get this, then either one (or both) of those two wires has a break in it somewhere along the length.And now with the machine unplugged from the main power inlet... Again you can use the multimeter but set on Ohms range (or Diode or continuity check) position. Connect the two probes together and it will read zero, the multimeter may even make a bleeping sound (depends on type).This show that you have continuity of a connection.Now place the probes at either end of each individual wire that comes from the controller and that goes to the solenoid, and if the wires are good you will get the same zero reading (or there abouts) and/or the bleeping sound.If you don't, then that particular wire under test is broken somewhere along it's length. So replace it.If both wires are good, then the problem is the machine controller circuit board. It may be just a dirty contact on either of those two wires that connect to the controller, if so clean the connectors on the circuit board and the wire connectors. (e.g scrape them with a screwdriver or whatever does the job) WD40 spray is a good too.If that doesn't fix it, then a component on the controller board has blown (gone bad), probably a transistor or mosfet or even a relay contact. In any of those cases unless you know anything about electronics, then you will have to buy a new controller board or complete controller unit. Very costly !Search the internet for a supplier of controllers for that model, you never know your luck, you might find a cheap one somewhere.NB. If you don't have a multimeter, either buy one, or borrow one off someone you know, and if that someone knows how to use it then get them to check all of this out for you. Then buy him/her a beer afterwards.Good luck

this is in wrong catogory

our HOTPOINT FDW60 is not working right?the tablet is not disolving inside right how will i fix it?

thermostat or element or pc board
