Re: Hotpoint Ultima AL01 error code
Thanks again, Iadom. I guess it needs a bit more than my very basic knowledge and DIY skill on this to get a full recovery or even a full diagnosis. 🙁
We haven’t used it too much this week but when used, it hasn’t changed i.e. short program ends OK, full length program ends with AL05.
Re: Hotpoint Ultima AL01 error code
Thanks. I checked leak connection and all seems OK. I then ran a short clean (about 30 mins)and it ended OK. The next day I ran a full clean option of 1 hour 24 mins. Guess what came back? The AL05 message after practically the full run and dishes were actually clean. The only “blockage” I can see (from inside the door of the dishwasher) is the bottom of the filter area where about 1 inch or so of water sits, exactly the same as when it first appeared. Previously when I got down to checking the pump for debris etc, I’d felt the tube seemingly coming from this area for a blockage but it seemed fine. I have no idea how to remove the filter container to see if anything is stuck there so any advice on that would be gratefully received.
Re: Hotpoint Ultima AL01 error code
I’ve just fixed (hopefully) an AL05 error on my DWF70 (filter area not clearing all water) and put everything back together again. Although the AL05 seems to have gone, I’m now getting an AL01 error flashing and it won’t stop running i.e. it switches back on after I’ve stopped it. I did remove the leak check connector when taking it apart to check the pump for bits and pieces and put it back without looking too closely at it I must admit. I’ve taken it apart again and the base is actually not showing any signs of a leak i.e. no water on it.
The leak switch connection is mentioned but which of the 3 connectors on the leak switch should be used for the plug just in case I’ve got that wrong as per the reply suggestion from iadom? Fyi, circa 2006 I used the web to fix a pump blockage (AL03 msg if I remember correctly???) and all OK till recently with this AL05 msg.
