Why my Hotpoint Dishwasher does not start or respond to commands?
- BBrett RogersAug 12, 2025
If your Hotpoint dishwasher isn't starting or responding, here's what to check: * Make sure the dishwasher is properly plugged into the socket. * If there was a power outage, press the START/Pause button to restart the cycle. * Ensure the dishwasher door is fully closed until you hear a click. * If the door was opened for more than 4 seconds during a cycle, close it and press START/Pause. * If the display shows F9 or F12 and the On/Off and START/Pause LEDs are blinking rapidly, turn the dishwasher off and on again after a minute. If the issue continues, unplug the dishwasher for 1 minute, then plug it back in.
