Hotpoint Washing Machine Error Codes Hotpoint Washing Machine Error Codes

Imperial Appliances are a leading name when it comes to domestic appliance repairs and new appliances. This means we have direct accounts with major manufacturers and have access to information other providers don’t, including details about what each of the error codes mean.

Error codes on Hotpoint washing machines with digital displays are broadcast with a fault code starting with F0, as well as with flashing lights. We’ll use the error codes to identify common problems, but if you need to know what flashing lights on your Hotpoint washing machine mean, just get in touch with us.

Below are a list of the most common error codes that will appear on the digital display of your Hotpoint washing machines, along with the fault type and a description of what’s gone wrong:

Error Codes Fault Type Fault Description Advice
F01 Circuit board fault This usually happens when you cannot select one or more functions Unplug the washing machine from the mains for at least 2 minutes before reconnecting and trying again
F02 Motor fault A good indicator of a motor fault would be if the drum is not rotating during a washing cycle Book a washing machine repair engineer
F03 Temperature sensor fault A temperature sensor fault could be due to the heating element not coming on Book a washing machine repair engineer
F04 Blockage or pump issue In most cases of a blockage or pump problem, the door will not open or, if it can be opened, you’ll see some water inside the drum We would recommend you check the hoses and filters for any signs of blockage. If you clear a blockage and the problem persists, book a washing machine repair engineer
F06 Door lock problem If the door won’t open it could be a problem with the door lock mechanism. When the door is closed, the machine will not start a cycle Check for obstructions in the door locking mechanism. If you can’t find one, book a washing machine repair engineer
F07 Circuit board and/or heating element fault A common sign of this would be the machine stopping mid way through its cycle, not heating the water, and the pump sometimes running continuously Book a washing machine repair engineer
F08 Heating element fault A common sign of this would be the machine stopping mid way through its cycle, not heating the water, and the pump sometimes running continuously Book a washing machine repair engineer
F09 Software error Usually indicated by multiple flashing lights on the washing machine. You’ll also find you won’t be able to get the machine to start a cycle on any programme Book a washing machine repair engineer
F11 Pump fault Signs include water remaining in the machine and/or not pumping out Book a washing machine repair engineer
F12 Control error The machine will not turn on if you have a control error fault Book a washing machine repair engineer

F16 Drum lock sensor fault This error code means that the sensor controlling the position the drum stops in is not operating properly Book a washing machine repair engineer
F18 Data error (internal) The display and/or functions may not work properly. We suggest turning your machine off at the sockets for a few minutes, waiting a couple of minutes, and then reconnecting it Unplug the washinng machine from the mains for at least 2 minutes.
