On/off switch and start switch held in simultaniously does the trick on the washing machines, try that 😀

Gotta give you guys a pat on the back.. worked a treat for me.. My neice & nephew came around yesterday and suddenly the dishwasher only wanted to show how it would clean the dishes, that is of course if it wasn’t on the shop floor..

After much shouthing at the woman of the house, and after reading the fix posted, I realised it was the kids that needed the blame 😛

Think I’m going to have to make an appology (or maybe I just don’t tell her!)

Many thanks

Slight twist on the above….I couldn’t get the above instructions to clear the error. I figured the idea was to “drain” all power from the appliance (as this type of procedure is regularly used to “Reset” different items). Anyway after unsucessfully repeating the above 8-10 times, I tried again and as soon as I heard the the “beep” (rather than turning on again), I left it unplugged for a couple of hours.

NOTE Its a while since I did this (meant to post while fresh in my mind), but I may have repeated the step to press the “start” button (and hear the “beep”). …..just to aid the “discharging” process. Anyway I think the idea is not to power it back up too soon….wait until the machine is well and truly discharged, and that should clear the demo mode. Hope this helps…Worked for me and machine working months later.

Also should point out that Hotpoint were totally unhelpful. The machine was 14 months old…there was some confusion as to whether the warranty covered 12 or 24 months…..but they were ZERO help. Wanted to send out an “Engineer”……when the task really did not warrant anything like this. It was a simple task of pushing buttons and unplugging and waiting. Not happy with their customer service!!!
