The display states “door”
The display shows F000

There is too much foam?
The detergent dispenser
will not close properly or is
collecting water?

The door is not fully closed, please close fully to start cycle.
Where 000 is the number (please contact Hotpoint Service and quote the
number).
Did you select a short spin programme?
Did you reduce the spin speed of the selected programme? (see
Programmes and Option Modifiers).
Estimated programme times are dependant on temperature and pressure
of the incoming water supply, option(s) selected and the load being
washed. They may therefore change during fill stages to take into
account extra fill time or heating required.
Check for low water pressure.
Programme times listed in the Programme Table are approximate.
Options selected can affect the programme times (see Programmes and
Option Modifiers).
If the display is not showing the correct information:
- Switch Off at the electric socket. Wait 5 seconds then switch back
on.
This is not a fault, we have designed the machine to release steam from
the dispenser drawer during hot washes.
The detergent is not suitable for machine washing:
If you have used the wrong type of detergent, select a Rinse programme
to flush out your machine.
You used too much detergent (see Detergent and Laundry):
Refer to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Check the drawer is properly aligned.
Clean the dispenser drawer (see Care and Maintenance).
Check the cold water supply tap is turned on fully.
Check the water inlet hose is not kinked.
The water pressure is insufficient.
