Hotpoint BFI620 dishwasher integrated displays error code F10 Leds 2 & 4

by / Thursday, 04 May 2017 / Published in

Appliance purchased in Nov 2005. Low mileage despite age. Trouble started with a full load of dirty dishes which I had to do by hand!On the normal cycle it now pumps out the water at the bottom of the compartment and then begins to refill after which it skips the washing and rinse cycles and the heater comes on and we finish up with dirty dry but warm dishes and a machine full of steam. I tried running the pump until there was only a cupfull in the filter, switching off and pouring a bottle of white vinegar into the filter. I restarted the machine on the normal cycle, it filled up with water and then the heat came on producing a vinegary steam. I switched off when leds 2 and 4 started flashing. It seems to me that if I need a new heater element the cost of labour and parts would suggest that I should replace the Hotpoint with a new modestly priced machine.

I will try and help with this problem with your Hotpoint BFI620 dishwasher

If you were getting steam in the machine then this would indicate that the heater is working correctly​, from the way you're describing the fault I think you may have is a pump problem. It sounds like the machine is not removing the dirty water. I have included a video below to help you check your pump and I would also make sure that the main Motor is Distributing the water correctly.​ Open the door when it is running and you should have water spraying everywhere - you might get wet doing this though.

If you need any further assistance please feel free to contact me​. all the best Paul​.

    Dear Paul,

    Many thanks for your reply. I take your point about the heater working. The pump could well be the problem. It functions enough to empty the machine when I restart and there is still a couple of inches at the bottom. As soon as it is empty it begins to fill at the bottom again with clean water. I have checked to see whether water comes in from any other point but I am sure that it is not via the rotating spray arms because when I put a plastic bowl on the lower tray and reset the machine there was clean water at the bottom of the machine but the bowl was empty apart from being wet from the steam condensing. Am I right in assuming that if water enters it will be either through the sprinklers or the pump exit.
