We have spoken before about dishwasher fault codes but I thought it best we explain in detail what the meanings are for with each error code.
In a previous article we used Hotpoint as an example but this could refer to most modern day dishwashers but her we only intend to refer to DWF50 FDW60 series dishwashers.
The combination of LED lights to be found on this example can be found here.
Led 1 Intensive, Led 2 Normal, Led 3 Eco, Led 4 Fast, Led 4 Prewash, Led 6 Delicate
| Led lights 3 - Eco | Overflow or overfilling |
| Led lights 4 - Solenoid Valve. | This is the valve at the rear of the appliance that allows water into the dishwasher. Inline filter blocked or solenoid sticking. | Led lights 5 - Thermistor. | Heat protection circuit for upper and lower heat settings. | Led lights 6 - Heating timeout. | Element not heating or not getting to temperature. | Led lights 3 + 4 - Draining Timeout. | Drain pump taking to long to drain down. |
| Led lights 4 + 5 - Filling Timeout. | No water. Have you isolated the water or maybe the inline water filter is blocked. Take the hose connection off from the dishwasher end and look in the inlet to the solenoid valve. |
| Led lights 3 + 5 Recirculating pump not working. | Check the filters. |
| Led lights 4 + 6 Heating Circuit. | Program stops mid cycle and waits for the element to heat up |
| We await other code errors from readers. | If you have errors not reported here then add them to the comment section below. I will update as when. |
