    What to do if my Hotpoint SIAL 11010 Aquarius Dishwasher does not start?
    • E
      Edwin GoodmanAug 15, 2025
      If your Hotpoint Dishwasher doesn't start, make sure the water supply tap is turned on and that the appliance is properly plugged into a working electricity socket. Also, ensure the dishwasher door is fully closed. If these steps don't work, try switching the appliance off and on again using the ON/OFF button, waiting about a minute before restarting a wash cycle.

    Why is my Hotpoint SIAL 11010 Aquarius not draining water?
    • T
      Tyler NunezAug 18, 2025
      If water isn't draining from your Hotpoint Dishwasher, it could be due to several reasons. First, check if the wash cycle is actually finished. Also, inspect the water drain hose to ensure it isn't bent. The drain duct or the filter might also be clogged with food residues. Finally, verify the height of the drain hose according to the installation instructions.

      If your dishes aren't clean after a wash cycle in your Hotpoint Dishwasher, consider these possibilities: * The dishes may not have been arranged properly, or the sprayer arms might be blocked by the dishes, preventing their free rotation. * The selected wash cycle might be too gentle. * Too much foam could be present because the detergent wasn't measured correctly or isn't suitable for dishwashers. * The lid on the rinse aid compartment might not be closed correctly. * The filter could be dirty or clogged. The refined salt level might be low. * Also, ensure the height of the dishes is compatible with the rack adjustment and that the holes in the sprayer arms are not clogged.

      Scott BarryAug 25, 2025
      If your crockery isn't drying properly in your Hotpoint Dishwasher, it might be because a wash cycle without a drying program was selected, or the rinse aid has been used up. The rinse aid dispenser setting may also be unsuitable. Note that water drops are normal on crockery made from non-stick material or plastic.

    What to do if my Hotpoint SIAL 11010 Aquarius won’t load water and has flashing lights?
    • M
      Mary BerryAug 28, 2025
      If your Hotpoint Dishwasher won’t load water and shows flashing lights, check the following: * Ensure there is water in the mains supply and that the tap is open. * Inspect the water inlet hose for any bends. * Clean the filters if they are clogged. * Clear the drain duct if it's clogged. After checking and cleaning, switch the dishwasher off and on, then start a new wash cycle. If the problem persists, turn off the water tap, remove the plug, and seek professional assistance.

    Why does my Hotpoint SIAL 11010 Aquarius leave a white film on dishes?
    • I
      Isabel PriceSep 1, 2025
      A white film or limescale deposits on dishes and glasses from your Hotpoint Dishwasher might be due to a lack of refined salt or an unsuitable water hardness adjustment; increase the relevant values. Also, the salt and rinse-aid dispenser cap may not be closed properly, or the rinse aid has been used up or the dosage is too low.

      William RichSep 4, 2025
      Streaked dishes or a bluish tinge on your dishes from your Hotpoint Dishwasher can result from a rinse aid dosage that is too high.

    Why is my Hotpoint SIAL 11010 Aquarius so noisy?
    • A
      April ByrdSep 7, 2025
      Excessive noise from your Hotpoint Dishwasher can occur if dishes are rattling against each other or the sprayer arms; ensure dishes are placed properly, allowing free rotation of the sprayer arms. Also, too much foam from incorrect detergent dosage or unsuitable detergent can cause noise. Do not prewash dishes by hand.

    What to do if my Hotpoint SIAL 11010 Aquarius door won’t close?
    • N
      Nathaniel RobertsSep 12, 2025
      If the door of your Hotpoint Dishwasher won’t close, ensure that the racks are fully inserted. Also, make sure the lock was released and then strongly push the door until you hear a 'clacking' noise.
