Hotpoint Dish washer language issue

[amebb]

Hi there

Can anyone help me with an issue on my dishwasher please?

I have a Hotpoint Ultima FDD 914 dish washer that has been working great, no issues what so ever until a few days ago.

When i switch on my dishwasher i wait a few seconds and the display comes on. Normally, the display will display the washing cycle as normal.

Now, when i switch on the dish washer i am shown all the languages to choose from. I choose english and the menu is displayed in english. Everything works fine until the next time i switch the dish washer on again and i have to rest the langauage etc.

Is there a way i can fix this issue? Does the mother board have an onboard battery that needs too be replaced?

Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

From manual.

Have copied and pasted in case that image is not clear.

When this model is first switched on after delivery, the message display will either scroll through in
several languages or may show a particular language.
The correct language must be selected before the dishwasher can be used – THIS IS NOT A FAULT !
Selecting the language:
1. Press the ON/OFF button, you will hear a short beep and the display will show the set language.
2. Use the DELAYED START button to scroll forwards, or the HALF LOAD button to scroll backwards
through the list until you reach the desired language.
3. Press the P button to confirm the selection; you will then automatically enter the list of wash cycles.
Every time the dishwasher is switched on subsequently, the list of wash cycles will be displayed.
Changing the language:
The language may also be changed at a later date, by pressing the P button and the DELAYED
START button simultaneously for a few seconds. Then go to action 1 above to set the language

does sound like a board problem and the bad news is Hotpoint boards have to be programmed so cant be fitted by anyone without the correct gear

Thank you, but how would this be a board fault?

Where abouts is the board located please?

Hi there

I can change the language on the dish washer. But, as soon as i switch off the dish washer the language resets and i need to change it again.

Thanks

the boards sofware remembers the setting on non volatile memory

this is not happening so its a board fault

unless there is a button cell on the board a bit like a computer bios to keep the memory. dont know not seen the board to know

Given the cost of the board, the fact you can reset it and the age of this appliance doing the reset would be the best option IMHO. The main pcb is in the base at the front.
