Hotpoint Hotpoint slimline, 45cm fault codes
HSFO for freestanding and HP-prefixed codes for integrated. Slimline machines are 45cm wide rather than the standard 60cm.
Codes on the Hotpoint slimline, 45cm follow the same Hotpoint scheme as the rest of the range. Where a code behaves differently on this generation, the code page says so.

- F03Drain failure or timeout — one of only two codes Hotpoint invite you to look at yourself, and usually a blockage.Get it checked
- F10Heating element fault — and the page to read the safety notice on if your machine was built between 2005 and 2015.Get it checked
- F06Water fill timeout. The other code Hotpoint hand back to you, and their own checklist covers pressure as well as the tap.Get it checked
- F01Anti-flooding overflow. The one code in the Hotpoint list that offers no owner check at all — it goes straight to an engineer.Stop — call an engineer
- F08Temperature timeout on the two-digit system. Check the shape of your code first, because a single-digit F8 belongs to a different code set and is not about heat at all.Get it checked
- F11Wash pump failure. The dishes come out dirty because water is never reaching them with any force.Get it checked
- F13Main board fault. Worth getting the price before the part, because a board can cost a serious fraction of a new machine.Get it checked
- F12The main board and the display have stopped talking to each other. The one code in the Hotpoint list with a real owner fix buried in an engineer’s checklist.Get it checked
- F02The fill valve is letting water in when it should be shut. Turn the tap off — that is our instruction, not Hotpoint’s, and the difference is worth knowing.Stop — call an engineer
- F04The temperature sensor circuit has failed — open circuit or shorted. A cheap part, which makes this one of the better codes to get.Get it checked
- F09The main board is not programmed, or has the wrong settings file. Usually means a board has been changed rather than that anything has worn out.Get it checked
- F07The flow turbine reported no water arriving when the machine had in fact filled. The measuring device rather than the water supply.Get it checked
- F05The pressure switch never confirmed the fill, though the turbine says the water went in. A code Hotpoint describe in detail and then leave off their own list.Get it checked
- F15A cross-check between the wash pump and the drain pump does not add up. Hotpoint’s published remedy names both pumps, which is worth questioning.Get it checked
