What You Will Need:
Step 1 - Safety Advice
Safety First! Please ensure that you have disconnected the appliance from the mains before starting any repair.
Step 2 - Checking The Filter
The filter on this particular Hotpoint model consists of a fine mesh outer filter, a stainless steel filter, and the two parts that come as a single filter kit.
You need to take the filter out from the dishwasher and check for any food particles, and also ensure that it is free from any signs of damage. If the filter is damaged in any way, it would need to be replaced.
If you do not have a correctly working filter, it could lead to food particles going down to the outlet pump - causing damage to the pump, which would then be a much more expensive repair it it was to be damaged.
