Re: Hotpoint BF162 not working

Hi all,

Replaced heater and it seems to be working now. Even though the fault light indicated water in issue.
Can anyone tell me approx how long the dishwasher should run for on the cycle that is second from the right?
It says in the manual that it does two pre-wash cycles then two heat cycles.

Hi,

where would be a good place to try and get a pcb from?

Re: Hotpoint BF162 not working

When I change the heater and if it doesnt fix the problem, I am guessing its the electronics.
Both the solenoid valves work and water gets to the sump no problem. If the pressuer relay is then operated and its tested ok, pump is working ok then I presume there is only the electronics left?
If so, what are the chances of getting the spare?

Re: Hotpoint BF162 not working

Update:

I just measured the resistance on the heater and it was completly open circuit so order a new one.
Would this cause the same fault?
I tested the switch relay that is for detecting sum pressure and it tests ok.

Any ideas if it could be the heater or could it be that for some reason there isnt enough pressure in the sump to switch the pressure relay?
