Hi! Looking for help with my Hotpoint SDL510 Dishwasher , it has started to flash these two lights and won’t drain the water, I usually hear a pump but nothing, I read online it may be a blocked waste pipe but I have used a wet and dry vacuum on it and there are no obstructions so I am now confused?
Thanks!
Ashcould still be blocked
if its jammed completly it will just be a faint hum which can be difficult to hearDave
Hi Dave
I’ve put the wet and dry hoover on the end of the pipe and can feel the suction from the bottom of the drain inside the machine so it can’t be blocked still.
I know the hum that you’re talking about which it usually makes when it’s draining but it’s completely silent now
no you dont get it
if the impellor is jammed and cant move it will make a very quiet hum but you have to listen very hard to hear itDave
the sound will come from the pump and probably very faint
you can see the grey outlet hose coming off the pump

Hi!
so I took the panel off today and removed the motor and i couldn’t see anything wrong with it?
here is a video
Put it all back and started a cycle and again, would not empty, any suggestions now?
Ash
no that looks good
well next thing i would have done is checked the pump windings
if ok i would then trace the pump wires back to the board and check continuity
then look where the pump connects to the board and trace the connections to the triac that controls the pump and look for circuit damage
Dave
Hi Dave
I just want to say thank you for all your help, I’m not an electrician so I have no idea about checking circuit boards etc, I was just trying to save this from
being scrapped and calling someone out is going to be just as expensive as a new dishwasher.Thank you again
Ash
