Hi we have the above dishwasher and it runs for about 20 secs then the far left light (heavy load) light flashes constantly, what is this error and is it easy to fix???? 😯 Thanks Guy.
Re: Hotpoint BF162
Sounds like a flooded base. Unplug, place a few towels on the floor and tilt the machine to one side but do not lie it down . If you get water running out then you have a flooded base. You can then try the machine again but if it fails in the same way quite quickly then you may have an internal leak that needs investigation.
Using 3 in 1, 4 in 1 or 5 in 1 tablets are a common cause of oversoaping on these machines.Jim.

Re: Hotpoint BF162
Actually, you don’t have to drag it out – you can do it the revolting way….
1/ Plug out
2/ Get the Mrs to make a really strong cup of tea.
3/ Remove decor door.
4/ Remove snap-in lower cover plates.
5/ Place large baking tin on floor in front of machine; using a 12″ length of skinny tubing, stick one end in the puddle in the bottom of the machine and suck……. When the water comes through, get the end into the baking tin, whilst holding the other end of the tube in the pool of water. It should syphon out.
6/ Drink tea. It’ll probably be the best cup of tea you’ve ever had.Personally, I’d drag it out……….
