Hotpoint D/W DWF50 stops with LED 6 flashing mid-cycle

[tumblew33d]

I'm having a problem with my Hotpoint dishwasher where it stops late in the cycle and flashes LED 6. The machine is always empty of water when I open it.

I read elsewhere that this is a 'heating timeout' issue, but I have checked the element for continuity and it's okay according to my multimeter.

The water is always cold when I open the door mid-cycle. Could the element be on its way out?

Hi again,

thanks for the suggestion, I removed all the insulation and everything was in place. I disconnected and reconnected the only connector that clipped into the side of the dispenser just for good measure. I'll stick it on for a fast wash and see what happens.

rocks1- thanks, although the thermistor was in place I couldn't find any other explanation for the flashing 'delicate' LED (number 6) and so replaced the PCB as I couldn't get a replacement thermistor seperately.

Everything working fine now and much cheaper than a Hotpoint service call.

Thanks for your help, it's much appreciated!
