What to do if my Hotpoint LFF 8M121 does not take any water in?
If your Hotpoint Dishwasher isn't taking in water, it could be due to a few reasons. There might be no water in the mains supply, or the water inlet hose could be bent. Try turning on the tap; the appliance should start after a few minutes. If the appliance lock has been activated, switch off the appliance using the ON/OFF button, turn on the tap, and switch the appliance back on after a few seconds. Then, reprogram the appliance and restart the wash cycle.
Why are the dishes not clean in my Hotpoint LFF 8M121?
If your dishes aren't clean after a Hotpoint Dishwasher cycle, several factors could be responsible. The racks might be overloaded, the crockery might not be arranged properly, or the sprayer arms can't rotate freely. Also, the wash cycle might be too gentle, an excessive amount of foam might have been produced because the detergent hasn't been measured out correctly or it is not suitable for dishwashers, the lid on the rinse aid compartment hasn't been shut correctly, the filter is dirty or blocked, or the refined salt level is low. As a solution, switch off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button. Shut off the water tap to eliminate the risk of flooding and remove the plug from the electrical socket. Make sure the water inlet filter has not become blocked by impurities.
Why does my Hotpoint LFF 8M121 Dishwasher not drain water?
Your Hotpoint Dishwasher might not be draining water because the cycle hasn't finished yet, the water inlet hose is bent, the drain duct is blocked, or the filter is clogged with food residues.
Why is crockery not drying properly in my Hotpoint Dishwasher?
Crockery might not dry properly in your Hotpoint Dishwasher if a wash cycle without a drying cycle was selected, the rinse aid has been used up or the dosage is too low, the rinse aid dispenser setting isn't suitable, or the crockery is made from non-stick material or plastic.
Why won't my Hotpoint LFF 8M121 start?
If your Hotpoint dishwasher isn't starting, try these steps: First, turn the dishwasher off and then on again using the ON/OFF button, waiting about a minute before restarting. Also, ensure the dishwasher is properly plugged into the electrical outlet and that the door is fully closed.
What causes excessive noise in a Hotpoint LFF 8M121 Dishwasher?
Excessive noise in your Hotpoint Dishwasher can be caused by the dishes rattling against each other or against the sprayer arms. It may also be due to an excessive amount of foam being produced because the detergent hasn't been measured out correctly or it is not suitable for use in dishwashers.
What to do if Hotpoint LFF 8M121 Dishwasher filter symbol is on?
If the filter symbol lights up on your Hotpoint Dishwasher, ensure that the wash cycle has ended. Then, open the dishwasher door and clean the cup filter and stainless-steel filter. The blocked filter symbol should disappear when the next cycle starts.
What to do if Hotpoint LFF 8M121 Dishwasher won't take in water and shows H2O tap symbol?
If your Hotpoint dishwasher isn't taking in water and shows the H2O tap symbol, check if there's water in the mains supply. Also, inspect the water inlet hose for bends. Turn on the tap; the appliance should start after a few minutes. If the appliance lock has been activated, switch off the appliance using the ON/OFF button, turn on the tap, and switch the appliance back on after a few seconds. Then, reprogram the appliance and restart the wash cycle.
Why are there white film or limescale deposits on dishes and glasses from my Hotpoint LFF 8M121 Dishwasher?
If your dishes and glasses have a white film or limescale deposits after being washed in your Hotpoint Dishwasher, it could be due to a low level of refined salt, the dosage setting not being suited to the hardness of the water, the lid on the salt dispenser not being closed properly, or the rinse aid being used up or the dosage being too low.
