    Hello!
    I have a Hotpoint Dishwasher super plus 7822. It will not switch on
    when I close the door even though the amber light on the front is still showing.

    It has given us magnificent service as it is about 16 years old and
    it has behaved almost faultlessly untill today; so we have no complaints.

    Can someone advise ASAP on the problem?
    Many thanks in anticipation.

    WOW 16 years!! I am afraid they do not make such appliances now a days to last that long.
    When you say switch on I guess it does not start but the power is still comming??
    It could be few things.Firstly the door switch could be faulty or the timer.

    Best to have it checked i suppose.Check the repairs section to see if there is someone local to you.

    Regards

    Door switch likely culprit, broken wiring in the door also possible. Timer is totally reliable on these Bosch-based machines.

    Power off, if you are going to investigate.

    ❗ What a great site – I’ve never come across it before, seen it mentioned on a US site ❗

    Thanks for the tips. I’ll have a go at getting into the ‘bits’ in the door in the next day or too, not got the energy right now to pull the machine out to get to the plug (the builders kindly-not! located the sockets underneath the fitted worktops/units) as I’m burning up at 39C and ready to flake out especially after all that extra washing up!

    I’d rather have a go myself first as I twice had a REALLY bad experience of call-out guys in the past and it has left me a bit scared about such things. I know those guys were in the minority but still I’m scared.

    Anyhow, I used to work in a lab and always took the instruments to bits and fixed them myself whenever possible – and same when I lived abroad for a couple of years when I called a nice UK service shop who talked me through how to take apart my then Hoover washing machine to change the drive belt (a challenge to stretch on!), carbon brushes, pumps etc!!!

    Fingers crossed I can work out how to get in to the door panel then! I’ll keep you posted and hopefully manage to keep it from going on the junk heap 😉

    Thanks again!!!
