when I start my hotpoint fdm550 on any programme it takes in water as it should then empties immediately and ALL the lights flash rapidly. I know it’s an Indeset really and it is three years old but I am quite fond of it! it sounds serious to me.
Re: fdm550
The start/pause button light and the three, right hand vertical lights are used for the error codes on these but the on/off, salt and rinse aid will flash at the same time. Are you sure that all three vertical lights AND the start/pause button light are flashing, there is no fault code for all four flashing.
Re: fdm550
Sorry the on/off button is not flashing, just the three on the right and the two on the left.
Re: fdm550
Water turbine faulty, it’s part of the clear plastic fill chamber.
PS. It’s the start/ pause button, not the on/ off button. 😉
Re: fdm550
Brilliant!! How do I get to it? I have not had to get into this machine before. When you say “faulty” do you mean it will need replacing or is it a repairable part?
Re: fdm550
That’s great! I am off to Silverstone to drive some very fast cars for the weekend, kids bought it for my birthday, so Monday I will get started. Thank you very much for your help–you’re a star!!
Re: fdm550
I am into the side of the machine, can see the clear plastic unit, do I replace the whole unit or does the turbine separate from the clear plastic unit. Have you a part number for replacement, please?
Re: fdm550
Thanks have ordered new unit but am not sure how old one comes off. It seems to be a pushfit but I don’t want to force it in case it is not! How do you remove it?
Re: fdm550
Apart from the hoses it does just slot in, you need to unscrew the inlet ring on the inside of the cabinet first though.
