Your Hotpoint washing machine, tumble dryer, dishwasher, fridge or freezer may display an error code if there is a problem with your machine. Please use the drop-downs to understand what these error codes mean. You may be able to resolve the problem yourself. However, where the fault code is followed by an asterisk we recommend that you call us to book a visit by a Hotpoint Service engineer.

- F10 - No cold fill. Check that the taps are on or if the drain hoses are kinked. - F11 - No hot fill. The ambient temperature is likely to be below freezing possibly due to the pipes being frozen. Also check that the taps are on or if the drain hoses are kinked. - F12 - No mixed fill. It is likely that the water is not turned on at the taps. - F13 - Check the water supply, inlet valve and hot and cold hose connections. - F14 - A fault with the water heating has occurred*
- F15 - Water is not being pumped out and a flood condition could occur.

Disconnect or turn off the water supply and ensure that the water level does not rise any more* - F17 - Door not closed properly. Close door firmly at the 3 o’clock position. - F20/1 - The thermistor resistance has drifted or the temperature scanning sequence is incorrect. The ambient temperature could be below freezing* - F30/31 - A motor drive problem has occurred. Try running the programme again. If the problem persist, book an engineer.
- F40 - Water below protection level during a heat step*
- F41 - Water level detect sequence incorrect*
