Hotpoint FDL570 Dishwasher Spares & Spare Parts
Posted by Paulc in Dishwasher Spares & Repair News, Hotpoint Spares & Repairs News on January 8th, 2010
The new FDL570 Hotpoint dishwasher has changed design, the look of the dishwasher hasn’t changed too much but internally there is a big difference. The wash pump motor is made by Askoll, this isn’t a motor as we know it. The impellor on this thing vibrates and aggitates back & forward. I have replaced two of these pumps already due the impellor falling off the motor shaft. The Hotpoint FDL570 31.8 ohm heater is seated on the end wash motor housing, both these and the other components situated in the base of the dishwasher are accessed via a plastic panel in the bottom of the dishwasher.

Hotpoint washing Machine Lights Flashing
Engineers repair comments.
On inspection of the customers aqxxl129 Hotpoint washing machine i found that when the door was shut and the machine switched on by the on-off button on the washing machine the lights on the control panel were light correctly and on, but when i opened the washing machine door the lights flickered and went off, i tried this several times and the same fault occured. I removed the hotpoint washing machine top and the control board cover from the door, I had an idea that the wiring cabled were damaged as they are run through the door hinge but i wasn’t sure if Hotpoint supplied this as a spare part. On closer inspection of the wiring cables i found that one of the wires was loose as it entered in the terminal plug, i reconnected the wire and tested the Hotpoint washing machine it worked fine again, no Hotpoint washing machine spare parts needed this time.

Engineers repair comments.
On Inspection of the customers RL64 Hotpoint fridge i found that the light was on but the motor ( compressor ) wasn’t running. I switched the Hotpoint fridge off by the electrical plug then removed the thermostat box on the right hand side wall of the fridge by removing the screw cap that is situated in front of the temperature knob then the screw, pulled the thermostat box towards the front of the fridge then pulled it towards the middle of the cabinet. Then i removed the thermostat knob and nut that held the thermostat to the housing and then removed the wire cables. On the back plate of the fridge the thermostat sensing file was held i released the two screw holding this. I fitted the new Hotpoint thermostat and refit all the parts in the reverse of how i had removed them. Plugged the Hotpoint fridge into the electrical supply and the light came on and also the motor, another repair completed.

Hotpoint Dishwasher Not Cleaning
Engineers repair comments.
On inspection of the customers Hotpoint bfi620
dishwasher i first had to determine which if any Hotpoint dishwasher spares or spare parts were required, i ran the dishwasher on a quick wash to check the filling cycle, wash cycle, heat cycle and the drain cycle. All of these function pasted this test. During the wash / heat cycle i opened the door to see if the spray arms were rotating, to do this test you need to rotate both spary arms so they are facing you then shut the dishwasher door, run the machine for 1 minute then open the door again and if the spray arms have moved then the are turning but if they are still in the same postion then there is a problem. In my test the top dishwasher arm didn’t turn so that was the Hotpoint dishwasher spare part that i needed to replace, i uncliped the top spray arm and replaced it with a new Hotpoint spare part.
Hotpoint Washing Machine Door Hinge
Posted by admin in Engineers Service Call Repair Diary, Hotpoint Spares & Repairs News, Washing Spares and Repairs News on May 23rd, 2009
Most Hotpoint Washing machine door hinges are made of a cast aluminium material, some hinges broke with the pressure of customers of children leaning on them. 
The door hinge shown fits Hotpoint washing machines and Hotpoint tumble dryers, the pins at the top and bottom of this door hinge has a habit of braking off.
Hotpoint Tumble Dryer Belt

Hotpoint tumble dryer drive belts.
Hotpoint have changed the design of all the tumble dryer drive belts, they used to have a tension pulley system ( see image on right ) but there are no tension pulley systems any longer, Hotpoint in their wisdom have decided to change all their tumble dryer belts now using a fixed elasticated drive belt. In our opinion this is a big step backwards for Hotpoint as on this new fixed belt system there is a lot of stress on the rear bearing, drum and drum shaft, drive belt, front drum bearings & both drum felts. We replace a lot of belts because of this. If you are changing a Hotpoint tumble dryer drive belt you will find it very difficult if not impossible to stretch the drive belt over the drum & motor shaft, it is possible but as i say very very difficult, i try to loosen the motor screw from the base of the Hotpoint tumble dryer then stretch it using a special tool over the Hotpoint tumble dryer motor. Good luck.

I don’t know if any Hotpoint dishwasher spares or spare parts are required but i would like you to carry out a service on my dishwasher anyway.
Engineers repair comments.
I carried out a function test on the DWF32 Hotpoint Dishwasher, the machine filled to the correct water level, the wash motor then ran ok and wasn’t noise at all, i then carried out a temperature test on the full 65 degree cycle which was also ok, but when the machine drained the water out i noticed a leak from the drain hose, on closer inspection i found a tiny split in the Hotpoint dishwaher drain hose . I replaced the drain hose and then tested the machine on a rinse cycle, the dishwasher is now working normally again.
Hotpoint Washing Machine Door Seal
Posted by admin in Engineers Service Call Repair Diary, Hotpoint Spares & Repairs News on May 16th, 2009
Hotpoint washing machine door seals are made of a flexible rubber material, They attach to the outer drum front plate and is held on via a spung loaded clip or a clip which is tightened by a nut and bolt system. It is then held onto the front cabinet of the Hotpoint washing machine via a spring clip. Most Hotpoint Washing Machine rubber door seals have a drainage hole or holes at the bottom of the seal, this allows excess water that has collected in the seal to drain away, so when it is time to take the washing out of the machine there is no water laying in the seal so the clothes stay dry. I will show a few of the most common washing machine door seals: 1605335 hotpoint rubber door seal 1603006 Hotpoint Rubber door gasket.
