Hotpoint BF1620 dishwasher not working

[Ridders25]

Hi, Don't know if any of you can help but here goes.

The dishwasher door wasn't closing properly so got a replacement door catch. Fitted it today and the door now closes fine only now there doesn't seem to be any power. The red light for the on off switch comes on but the green lights on the left won't come on and when you press the buttons they don't beep - Does anyone have any ides??

Many Thanks

It's he white block with two wires on it that go to the micro switch on the door lock. Remove and refit poss wrong way round.

Was the leds working before u changed the lock.

 

[Ridders25]

Yes was all workikng fine- have tried using the old door lock aswell but that didn't work either.

In that case you have knocked a wire off somewhere. Check wiring at the bottom of the door.

Checked that but none loose??

When I loosened all the screws from the door to fit new lock, the door itself sprang away from the frontal (intergrated unit) would the sudden jerk have had anything to do with it? Still can't see any loose wires though??

 

[rocks1]

Oh yes. Also check pcb wires to led. There's deffo wire off some where

i have fixed the problem with new door latch and found the loose wire preventing the sevice lights from working, many thanks for that! Because i had tried all avenues prior to finding the wire that included taking the washer from it's integrated position and emptied all the water that was sat inside and taking the right hand skin off to get to the drainage outlets then putting it back together and back in place and setting it away then to find it is leaking at the back of the frontal ( screws into door are tight but self tappers are loose!! ) onto the floor and steam is coming from the top, HELP?

Check the white block is on the back of dispenser

 

[Ridders25]

Sorry for my ignorance, I'm a joiner by trade, could you please explain in a bit more depth? Do i need to take the frontal back off and what is the white block on the dispenser? you wer spot on with your 1st diognosis the door jerk had pulled the large white block off the PCB can't believe i thought that it was supposed to hang loose!!!

That's the one. It clips to the back of the dispenser. Door has to come off again.
