    I have a Hotpoint LFT 228A intergrated dishwasher. I do not have the model number. The display is on top of the door. It is showing a red cross in the top left corner. I know it isn’t the salt or rinse aid. It is regularly flushed through. What does the red cross mean, the machine is working but the red cross is there?

    Hi there. I have an Ariston dishwasher approx 5 1/2 years old. Has only been used 3-4 times during that period however we have now decided to use it regularly since about 3 weeks ago. However it is not taking the cleaner from the dispenser. Have tried both the powder tablets and a gel cleaner. When it finishes the cycle there ‘s a light displaying an S inside a box that looks like it pouring something out. I’m assuming this is the suds dispenser. Can you help me.
    Many thanks
    Marg
