This is my own dishwasher and the problem is the heater and after about 20 minutes of trying to remove it i found out why, the element had actually blown apart, the outer casing had spread outward hence the problem removing the heater. Looking at the heater it appear to be the same as the 95 range except for the length of the loop in the middle but the only bracket i can see inside the heater housing is at the end, so as long as the length of the heaters are the same can any one see a problem? The reason for this is the price for a 95 heater is a 3rd cheaper then the df53 heater. Thanks
Edit: I’ve looked in the fault code guide and the threads here and can’t find the answer to this, is there anyway to reset the dishwasher if you’re half way through a program? i know you can advance the timer from behind the kick panel but i was wondering if there’s a more convenient way? Again Thanks
Re: Hotpoint df53
I would try a WM series one (important: has TOC in it). 2100watts. ELE9030 @ Connect. Only if grommet fits properly tho’.

No fault codes on these, no way to advance other than manually. 😥

Re: Hotpoint df53
Well first of all a wm heater will fit this machine if anybody is interested. but now i have another problem, the top spray arm doesn’t rotate, the spray arm is clear of muck and fits correctly onto the rear fitting. The whole sump etc was removed when i fitted a new sump seal so i could check and clear all pipes yet she still doesn’t spray? not had this problem before without it just being muck in the pipes so can anybody help? Many thanks
EDIT: just had a thought, could it be as simple as the capacitor needs replacing?

Go for it David as a trade member you must surely have one on your van anyway? 😉
Re: Hotpoint df53
I do Martin, i even fetch one but I’m glad this is my own machine because i would’ve felt a right prat telling the customer that it could be the capacitor at fault and then finding out that one isn’t fitted, the motor has electronics on it but no capacitor anywhere in the wiring loom, i think the only other possibility for the fault might be poor fitting where the top spray arm rear feed rail pushes into the base (just behind the bottom spray arm) should there be a o-ring there? Not looking forward to the next part because to test that thought i’ll need to quickly run it with the door open to see if water evacuates out where it shouldn’t. 😯

Re: Hotpoint df53
Had a few of these with splits in the spray arm normally near the tip of the arm. Result is no rotation, worth a check
Re: Hotpoint df53
Cheers, i’ll check that out later.
This dishwasher is a mini nightmare, it came from a fellow engineer who’s customer said she could smell burning all the time, she wanted new so i had it as i now have room for a dishwasher. The problems so far are, water leak from sump seal, water leak from salt tank seal, destroyed heater (literally blown apart) and no spay movement from top arm, and she was complaining of a burning smell?? :rolls:David
