      If your Hotpoint dishwasher isn't taking in water and the tap shut-off alarm is sounding, here's what to do: * Ensure there is water in the mains supply. * Check if the water inlet hose is bent. * Turn on the tap; the appliance will start after a few minutes. * If the appliance lock has been activated because no action was taken when the beeps sounded, switch off the appliance using the ON/OFF button, turn on the tap and switch the appliance back on after 20 seconds by pressing the same button. Reprogram the appliance and restart the wash cycle.
