Re: Hotpoint Aquarius FDL570 Dishwasher – PCB

These modules are only available through Hotpoint service – they have to be software programmed. Your machine will qualify for the free five year PARTS warranty, (yes, parts only) and about £125+ to get Hotpoint to do it; so not a cheap fix, but unfortunately the only way it can be done.
HTH.
Thanks very much for the info, I was afraid that’s what it was!
I’ll try cleaning it as you suggested. Failing that, when you say I can only get the part through Hotpoint service, do you mean that the board is programmed once inserted into the machine or can I buy the part and fit it myself? I’m not sure I have the receipts anymore to prove the date of purchase and didn’t register at the time.
