I have a hoover dishwasher hds 556 ms-80, I tried to get a manual off the Hoover site but the model is not there. I thought the manual may help getting it sorted.
Anyhow, It isn’t filling so I emptied out the water by tipping it, this allowed it to start filling but only a few seconds then it emptied it, then nothing. There are two red lights on, one looks like a snowflake and the other circulating arrows?
Anyone know what I need to do (in easy terms please)?Re: Hoover dishwasher hds 556 ms-80
wild guess ,heater u/s or wash-pump…..logically, It’s detecting fill but then needs to heat and spray water….again I’d think the heater waits for the pump ,otherwise it would overheat without the cooling effect of water-circulation…….
Methinks,(judging from your “simple terms” note,…..the “find an engineer” button at the bottom is going to be your best bet.dishwashers are definitely NOT for the beginner in appliance-repairs!

Thank you,, I’m not too good at explaining things. I will price some pumps, though it did pump out some water more or less as soon as it went in.
Re: Hoover dishwasher hds 556 ms-80
2 pumps on most dishwashers 1 to pump water out and 1 to circulate water,if the circulation pump has gone it will cause the problem you have.
Re: Hoover dishwasher hds 556 ms-80
That will be it then, because one of the lights is under what I class as a circulation symbol. Can you use any hoover dishwasher pump, I can’t seem to find much at all with the model no it’s got?
Re: Hoover dishwasher hds 556 ms-80
sorry, I should have differentiated more clearly…as smartin points out…there are normally 2….they’re entirely different from each other and , NO -there’s NOT a “universal” one. In fact, you’ll often find with ANY appliances (even a simple oven or hob) there are modifications during the model’s production life,- that’s WHY the serial number is SO important.
I honestly think this is far too advanced for your skill-level-electricity can and DOES KILL also it doesn’t mix well with water 😥
“find an engineer” time! (unless you have a savvy friend/relative/neighbour1
