Hotpoint Aquarius FDL570 Dishwasher Fault

[HarryBrown]

Hi Guys,

I have a almost new Hotpoint Aquarius FDL570 that has been in storage for about 6 months.
I have just plumbed it in, switched it on, it fills with water, pumps out, and then the On/Off button, Wash/3h and End/9h lights flash.
Could someone be so kind as to tell me the fault please?
Many thanks,
Harry

Non operative module is the error. Check the wiring and pcb. You might have a slug or mice chewed wiring.

Well, I've opened it up. Everything appears to be ok. No sign of anything being in there. Lovely and clean and new! Where is this module located?

Down the bottom at the front. A flap that pulls down

Thanks very much for the assistance.
If I buy a replacement module, is it just a matter of replacement or will it need programming etc?
I'm just to work out if to repair or get a new dishwasher

No it's got to be programmed. It will be blank if you order one , you need a smart card and reader that cost over £100.00, time to get a new mc.
