FDW60 Hello, I have a Hotpoint FDW60 dishwasher. It seems to have the usual quality issues but the actual problem is different to most I see on here. The machine has only been used about 20 times, but yesterday the following happened, I loaded and selected intencive program, when I pressed start the machine made a shriek/chipping sound, it seemed to run for about 5 seconds then stopped with the power and prewash lights flashing erraticly for about 3 seconds then was totaly dead, no power light or anything, just about an inch of water in bottom. After 10 mins or so the power light will come back on if I keep turning it on and off but next time I try to start it just the same. Any ideas? Thanks Tom

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.

This sounds like the heater is not energising usually means the heater has failedalthough a blocked or sticking pressure switch will cause the same problem

Have you tried cleaning out the filters in the base of the machine? Also make sure there is no bits in the filter sump. Then give it a clean using a dishwasher cleaner.

If the heater is ok and the wiring is also not burnt out, then the fault will likely be the heater relay on the pcb. (Which means usually replacing the board).

unplug it for an hour this normally fixes this problem on my machine

Hi i have hotpoint FDW60 when i swich the plug and the dishwasher starts then you hear the dishwasher filling up it trips my electric in the house.

It maybe installed to high and if you lower the legs to lower the D/W you should be able to see that it will fix your problem.

Hi,

I have just had my dishwasher fixed by Hotpoint, as the heater was working and the dishwasher only stopped with the fast and delicate lights just before the drying process he replaced the main control board. This has solved the problem, I suspected the fault to be the thermistor as the heater seemed to be getting to hot but I had no idea where it was.

It turns out the thermistor is attached to the main control board and hangs down behind the front door that gives just a rough temperature level for the main control board.

As it's soldered directly onto the control board I would suggest replacing the whole control pcb for anyone with this fault unless you can find any spec details for the thermistor.
