Hotpoint Dishwasher lights flashing or blinking

If your Hotpoint dishwasher lights are flashing or blinking, the machine is usually telling you a key component is not working the way it should. On this symptom, the most common cause is a failed heating element or heating element assembly that is not bringing the water up to temperature, which can trigger dishwasher lights flashing on the control panel. Next most likely are a bad water inlet valve that is not filling properly and a faulty door latch or latch micro switch that prevents the dishwasher from confirming the door is secure. Less often, dishwasher lights blinking or a dishwasher blinking and not starting points to a failed control board or main control board that is not sending power correctly. If your Hotpoint dishwasher has flashing error lights, checking these parts in order is the fastest way to narrow it down. RepairClinic.com makes it easier to match the problem to the right fix, and you can enter your model number to find the exact Hotpoint replacement part for your dishwasher, whether you need a heating element, water inlet valve, door latch, control board, or main control board.

01 - Hotpoint Dishwasher Heating Element

The heating element heats up the water to operating temperature. If the water doesn’t reach the proper temperature after a set amount of time, a light on the control panel might start flashing. To determine if the heating element has burned out, use a multimeter to test it for continuity. If the heating element does not have continuity, replace it.

05 - Hotpoint Dishwasher Control Board

The control board provides power to nearly every component of the dishwasher. It's possible that the board has shorted and is causing the lights to flash or blink unexpectedly. Check the owner’s manual for possible fault codes as one of the components may have failed. If the control board is not sending power to one of the components, it's likely the control board is at fault and will need to be replaced.
