Hotpoint is one of the leading dishwasher brands in the UK, preferred by thousands because of their reliable products and competitive prices. A great feature of Hotpoint dishwashers is their built-in diagnostic system, meaning that LED lights on the panel will display a number that corresponds to what has gone wrong in the machine.
If you already own a Hotpoint appliance, you may be familiar with Hotpoint dishwasher flashing lights or Hotpoint dishwasher error codes. This short guide provides all the information you need to decode the fault code system so that you can make changes or repairs to your machine to get it up and running again.
These Hotpoint dishwasher fault codes may not cover every single appliance, and not all of the recommended solutions should be attempted by the consumer. If your Hotpoint dishwasher is faulty, be sure to contact Glotech Repairs to organise an appointment with our qualified engineers. Some repairs need to be carried out by a trained professional.
This list is intended to help you understand the issue(s) your Hotpoint dishwasher may be having. If you are about to attempt a repair yourself, please be extremely careful and only do so if you are qualified. Otherwise, please book a Hotpoint dishwasher repair with one of our professional engineers.
My Hotpoint dishwasher is not functioning and is showing a code 15.
This is probably do to either the circulation or drain pump being blocked or faulty. There could be debris inside the chamber or they are not functioning correctly.
My Inox Dishwasher is indicating a fault – number 13. Shown on panel.
Please e-mail information on fault and what is required to fix this.
Thank you.
With reference to the A13 code. What is a PCB? And what is the required diagnosis for this problem.?
Many thanks.
With this kind of fault it is better to get an engineer out as they will carry the risk for diagnosis.
The PCB is short for printed circuit board and is the part with all the electronic components soldered on that carries out the control of the dishwasher. All modern equipment have pcb’s in them like computers etc.
The main problem with faults regarding PCB’s is that you are relying on the faulty part to give you the information (as the PCB will be supplying the fault information). Modern domestic appliances are built to a price and the investment from manufacturers into the serviceability of the products is lacking so the information is not always 100% accurate.
The reason I am saying this is that the PCB’s are expensive and there is a risk that after fitting it will not cure the fault. Also it is possible that there is another fault on the dishwasher causing damage to the PCB, in this case you have to identify the problem as well as purchase an additional PCB as they are not returnable for exactly this reason.
Please read the reply below to Nigel Gaskell’s comment. This kind of fault is difficult to check and expensive to put a PCB in to try it.

We had a flashing A-5 going on regardless of what cycle was selected. Was very frustrating. Filter & mesh were clean. Turned out it was a piece of burnt pastry stuck what presumably is a sensor cover below the bottom sprinkler inlet, facing towards the drain basket. Once removed, it has never missed a beat. Always keep a check on any food or debris lying around this area now at the end of a cycle and keep it clean. If you think about it the bottom water sprinkler won’t directly wash the area immediately next to its pivot point as its below the outlet, and relies on water that is being sprayed upwards bouncing off the loaded dishes etc. to flush this small area out and this flake of pastry seemed to have stuck itself fast to the plastic.
