Hotpoint Dishwasher: Dishwasher not starting cycle after filling with water

Sun, 20 Jul 2025 04:18:38 -0700

Hey guys so I am a bit stuck at the moment. I have a LFT-04 Hotpoint dishwasher which stops its cycle after filling with water (looks to be the correct amount). After fillling up, I get LED 1 + 3 flashing which according to the hotpoint website indicates a faulty pressure switch or water in air trap. I replaced the switch and there is no air gap.

Circulation pump was buzzing so I replaced that. It was clogged full of jelly like mouldy food.

This also did not fix the issue. I do not believe the pump is making any noise now it's just stopping the cycle after filling. It's probable it's not even switching on after filling. I do believe I installed the pump correctly, although had to struggle a bit to fit it on the sump? bit it attaches to.

Filters have been cleaned, sprayer arm has been cleaned.

The bottom was full of old food which I removed although there is food clogging in the wash cycle pump part as shown in this manual: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/70570/...

Google results only show a recirculation pump so I am assuming this is the same part or is this some protection for the pump? It also says NEVER remove it so I am unsure how to get the clogged food out. Should I just take it out anyway?

Any other ideas?

Thanks Everyone!

Hotpoint dishwasher: My timer counts down incorrectly

Thu, 28 Sep 2017 11:03:46 -0700

Hi guys, i wonder if anyone can help please.

I have a brand new hotpoint dishwasher.

First wash all worked well, second wash i noticed hadnt heated, so i popped it on again on a chosen 1 hour wash. It washed and counted down to 55minutes, and then dropped to 28 minutes, it continued to wash for a minute then dropped again to 11 minutes, needless to say it hadnt washed. I have since sent it for repair, first wash home it heated and worked well although the dishes were not all dry... Second wash it counted down again as before moving rapidly through the time... It is no longer covered for repair as the original plug was removed for fitting... Any info would be great
