Hotpoint Dishwasher FDW60

Stenny · 19 Nov 2009

Hi hoping someone can help
For a couple of days my dishwasher sounded like a coffee perculator, then stopped working and Eco and Fast lights started flashing. I understand from ringing Hotpoint this is a Blockage, pump connections or module? It drains the water and starts the cycle then stops with water again in the bottom so I presume it isnt blocked....?
Can anyone give advice on how to check and where the pump connections, module is?
Like everyone if I can do it myself and save a bit of cash that would be BRILLIANT!

THanks everyone
Emma.

looks like glass/china in the pump .tip mc on the left hand side remove base 6 screws and follow the drain hose to the pump , 1 screw on the pump twist off and look inside .

Thanks for your reply. I have taken the pump apart and checked the waste pipe both of which are clear. What I think is the circulation pump (underneath and slightly to the right of the pump) is very corroded and has leaked onto the base plate. As the machine is stopping when the spray arms should be going round could it be that this is the problem??

Many Thanks

the circulation pump is a big pump in the middle with a spring coil on the end of it that sprays water around .at the end of that is a small slot fit a screw driver in it does it turn round ,the discharge pump is to the left of that .can you flick the impellor round on the small pump once the pipes are off .yes it will be clear but glass /china will jam up on the small pump on the impellor.

Hi again!

This picture isnt my dishwasher but this is exactly how it looks. The impellor was moving ok when I took the small pump off.
You mention putting a screw driver into a slot is that on the other pump and at which end, there is a metal coil at the bottom end of it.

Thanks alot
Emma.
