I suspect your local repairman is perhaps not too conversant with this model of machine? 🙄

In order for us to help you, we need to start from scratch on this to figure out exactly what is or isn’t happening here!. Now, you say the machine is not filling with water? In that case can I ask you to unplug the machine, pull it out from its normal position and carefully tip the machine backwards (by about 45 degrees will do!). By doing that, I can at least establish whether or not the baseplate of the machine is flooded. If water pours out the back, mop up the mess then try the machine once more to see if it works?…then get back to us…OK?

Hi, thanks for the assistance sofar

Have tipped the machine to drain the water out and as you said the base plate had been flooded. Restarted the machine and the dishwasher filled up with water as it should but then stopped halfway through after it had re-flooded the base plate.

Re: Hotpoint DF61 not filling up with water

hi thanks for the reply.
my friendly local repairman informed me of the fault and i never got round to getting the work done.
Also none of your approved engineers in my area (AB10 7NJ)
The water seems to be getting to the machine ok as when i tried a cycle the water came out the detergent holder but there was none for the dishes.
