hotpoint aquarius dwf33 dishwasher not washing! HELP

tunner · 09-03-2012 09:22PM #1

Lads my hotpoint aquarius dwf33 dishwasher is not washing anything at the moment. I scoured the net for help and everyone says the same thing to take the side panel off and clear out the 'matrix' which I did but it was ok anyway. It's pumping water out fine just not washing at all. It's a few years old and not in warranty but never have a days trouble before. Anyone any ideas? Haven't got the money to get someone to look at it

Confused!!

when they stop they usually give an error code by flashing the lights a certain number of times, check and see if it does this and count them.

Where is this pipe? I took off the side panel and had a look at the 'matrix' but that was clear and I poured a large amount o water into the machine and then turned it on and it was pumped away???

Where would these flash? I don't think anything flashes when I turn it on. Just stays red over the program I have chosen.??

im not familiar with your model but its normally the lights over the programs salt levels, etc. that flash, they might flash a few times then remain steady on or off

Just turned it on again and the light remains constant. Nothing flashing what so ever

I don't think that's the problem because the water is getting pumped back out into the sink drain
