Thanks will check that. But surely the machine should start up & drain before valve activates?
Or do these machines just lock up if there is a fault.Reset does nothing!

Re: Hotpoint BFI 620 dishwasher error code

the honest truth i am not sure. i would have thought it would have pumped first then failed

had a few of these boards where the power supply cap failed on the board but most of the time it would start, fill and fail when the motor or heater kicked in

have you tried to reset programme as these tend to start where they left off unless you reset them ?

Reset is normally press & hold start button for a few seconds.Or is there another procedure for these?
The boards are about £85 retail for these.Did the board damage occur because of heater/motor earth fault?

no think its press and hold

not heard of board being damaged by heater/motor earth faults at least not in houses with RCD’s fitted so things dont go bang
