Hi there – thanks for this, it’s been incredibly helpful.
I have an issue with my Hotpoint LFT114 dishwasher in that the power button doesn’t work but the Program button turns the machine on and off – I am therefore not able to change the program. Very occasionally it works correctly so it is intermittent; but more often than it does not work properly.
I’ve taken the front of the machine door off and checked the connections. The ones I can access seem ok as far as I can tell. Is this likely to be a problem with the control panel itself? Should I just replace that?
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks 🙂
Replacing the control panel worked. £35 for the panel, no callout/labour charge. Happy days!
iam glad you got it sorted

Hi
I Have a problem with my Ariston Elixia LI675duo. It has 7 led on the panel and the led 4 flashing. I saw error code on the web and should be error1 (float sensor). I checked the bottom part and I found a problem with the draining pipe. I substituite it and the dishwasher start working correctly for few minutes, hence the same error appeared again. Now the machine starts correctly but after few seconds the led4 flash and the machine continue to use the draining pump, but the float is down and the bottom part is completely dry. Any advice? Could be a software problem?
Regards
Albert

Hotpoint Dishwasher model FF1110G with error code A10
Fault: Flashing A10 error code and when switched off after 10 mins will switch back on flashing the code A10, why!!
you have to physically unplug it from socket outlet. I have tested the heater element which is goo and has normal resistance but the terminals of the inbuilt thermo is open circuit.
Question: Is it correct for this connector to be open circuit when testing the the two spade connectors of the unit off the machine?
and would this be the cause of A10 flashing on off. Machine will fill run on a quick 35min programme and count down to 5 mins left then stop.
