To reset your Hotpoint dishwasher, press and hold the start button for about 3 seconds until the LED display indicates that the cycle is cancelled. This will reset the machine.
Check the drain hose for any blockages and ensure it is not kinked. Also, inspect the filter and pump for any debris that may be causing the issue. Clean them if necessary.
It is recommended to use detergents specifically designed for dishwasher use. Avoid using regular dish soap as it can cause excessive suds and damage the machine.
Clean the dishwasher filter at least once a month to ensure optimal performance and to prevent clogs or unpleasant odors.
Ensure that you are not overloading the dishwasher and that the spray arms can rotate freely. Also, check and clean the filter and ensure you are using the correct type and amount of detergent.
Error code F15 indicates a problem with the heating element. You may need to call a professional technician to inspect and repair the issue.
Use a rinse aid to enhance drying performance. Also, ensure that the "Extra Dry" or similar options are selected if available on your machine.
Yes, it is safe to wash plastic items, but place them on the top rack to avoid direct contact with the heating element. Check that they are dishwasher safe.
Regularly clean the filter, spray arms, and door seals. Also, run a cleaning cycle with a dishwasher cleaner every few months to remove limescale and grease buildup.
Bad smells can arise from food debris trapped in the filter or seals. Regularly clean these parts and consider using a dishwasher cleaner to remove any persistent odors.
