Front Display Panel Alerts

Hotpoint dishwasher error codes are a warning that your appliance is malfunctioning. Hotpoint dishwasher error codes flashing with the following numbers point to issues with different components. The four LED lights will also be flashing in a specific order.

Hotpoint dishwasher error codes flashing lights include:

F01 with flashing light 1 – this is the Anti-Flood Overflow code meaning that your appliance may have a drainage problem. Problems could be with drainage system, or the float switch.

F02 with flashing light 2 – indicating a defective water fill solenoid valve that will need to be checked and tested.

F03 with flashing lights 1 and 2 – pointing to an issue with the water drainage system. This could be due to a blocked drain or drainpipe. Or other plumbing issues.

F04 with flashing light 3 – the dishwasher thermostat is at fault here – and may need to be replaced.

F06 with flashing lights 2 and 3 – means a water fill time out has occurred. The reasons for this happening include a faulty water intake valve, water supply problems. Or water pressure. Kinked or blocked hoses may also be culprits.

F07 with flashing lights 1,2, and 3 – this configuration of lights directs the cause to a damaged water turbine. And this may need completely replacing if not operating properly.

F08 with flashing light 4 – if the heater isn’t working this error code will show – showing a temperature time fallout.

F09 with flashing lights 1 and 4 – a software error has been found – resetting without power may resolve the issue but the panel board may need replacing.
