My Hotpoint Aquarius diswasher won't dissolve the washing tablets

About 5 months ago my Hotpoint dishwasher wouldn't dissolve the solid tablets a used to clean my dishes, so i switched to the new soft Finnish tabs, and that seemed to do the trick. only recently they havn't been disolving either, so i tried washing powder and all sorts, but nothing i use is doing the trick an my dishes are still dirty after putting a load in. can you help me?? Anna Hotpoint Aquarius FDW70T - the dishwasher tablet remains in its soap box and therefore dirty dishes. The cycle runs ok and no error codes being shown...usually the the soap box is open once cycle is finished however now it remains closed and tablet still there...help, please

I don't have a solution, but the exact same problem is happening with my dishwasher. Nothing is getting cleaned properly.

Did you manage to get the problem fixed?

    put your wash" on the hotest cycle.Do this without any items in the machine, Do this at least twice.if this will not solve your problem use bycarbonated soda.On a single wash,use bycarb In place of washing tablets, it is probably the return water on your filter pipe, (that is clogged) You may have hard water, in which case do your total rinse every month on the hottest cycle. let me know how you have got on, BERT

SOURCE: my Hotpoint Aquarius diswasher won't dissolve the washing tablets

It sounds like you have a water supply issue. If you are on well water the screen in the water valve may be clogged. You can access this, remove it and clean it on most dishwashers. It is located in the valve where the water hooks up to the unit.

Dishwasher not washing the tablet does not dissolve

I quit using the tablets a long time ago...just like you, they never really dissolved, and left residue on my dishes. I only buy liquid now, try a few out. You will be surprised when all of your dishes are actually clean, and nothing is left in your dishwasher when it completes. Best wishes with going back to where we started years ago...sometimes older things are better at doing things* Michelle~

My hotpoint LSB 5B019B dishwasher is making random beeping noise during the wash cycle. A lot of stuff I've read on line suggests a reset. Does anybody have any idea how I do this?

I have encountered this problem a few times with this particular range of dishwashers and there are a few possible causes.

1.Low water pressure will cause the diswasher to beep during the wash. Check for kinked pipes or blocked inlet valve.

2.The waste hose being pushed too far down the standpipe or the standpipe itself being to low down causing the water to siophin out of the dishwasher. Check your instruction book for correct installation

3. Using poor quality dishwasher tablets can cause over sudding which has the effect of dropping out the pressure switch making the dishwasher think the water level is low

4. An intermitted faulty element can cause this

5. A faulty display board

The first 3 you can check yourself but the bottom two i strongly recommend getting a hotpoint engineer to carry out the repair.

Hotpoint aquarius dishwasher tablet dispenser not working

Clean it by running a cycle with hot water and 2 cups white vinegar, I suspect you have mineral deposits built up and causing it to stick closed and this causes the problem

Tablets not dissolving

either there is not enough water (check water valve) or the pump filters are clogged (check and clean as necessary)

Problem with hotpoint aquarius fdw60 diswasher

My mother has a neighbour who has a new hotpoint dishwasher which caught fire inside (Plastic on door front melted!).

Please contact Hotpoint - if yours is new, check to see if they can replace immediately otherwise its worth booking the engineer to sort £90 - free parts on machines less than 5 years old.
