Hotpoint dishwasher displaying an error or flashing LED lights? Hotpoint dishwashers have built in diagnostic systems. If your dishwasher finds, sees, or detects a fault or error in the system, the LED lights on the panel will display in a certain sequence to identify the specific error or fault code. The F01, F02, F03, F04, F06, F07, F08, F09, F10, F11, F12, or F13 error code will tell you which parts on your Hotpoint dishwasher to replace or check. You will either have a Hotpoint dishwasher that displays actual numbers or has LED lights to indicate and identify the error. Use the list below or get advice from your Hotpoint dishwasher owners manual when your Hotpoint dishwasher has flashing lights, constantly lit lights, or LED lights are lit in a certain order.

Some Hotpoint dishwashers do not have an LCD display to display error codes in number form. On some Hotpoint dishwashers the LED lights stay lit to notify you there is an error. Use the list below to find out what your dishwasher is telling you by which LED lights are lit or flashing.
