Hotpoint DWF50

Juwellor · 4 Jul 2007

I switch my dishwasher on any of the cycles it starts goes through the rinse and then on to the wash but then does not progress any further and when i open the machine up the water is still cold, can anyone help me please!!

Sounds like the heater is not working therefore cannot complete a cycle. If you do rinse (which is cold only) I imagine it works.
How old is the machine?
Is it under warranty?

Juwellor · 4 Jul 2007

the machine is just out of warranty!! i have already had the machine apart once i thougth it might be the pump blocked as this has been blocked before since i have had the machine! Is it possible to change the heating element myself???

Sorry I dont know, It could be the thermostat that is faulty.
Does the machine do the rinse only ok.?

Juwellor · 4 Jul 2007

i dont know i havent actually tried, how do you just do the rinse?? do you select the delay start buttons??

Diyisfun · 4 Jul 2007

On my hotpoint there is a button called 'rinse', maybe your machine does not have that facility.

On my hotpoint dishwasher there is a small red reset button on the top of the thermostats. Press this and see if it works after that. I had to do it on mine recently, bingo.!
