Hotpoint Dishwasher Error Code C4
Tub did not fill in time
Common Causes
- 1Sink shut-off left part-closed
- 2Inlet valve solenoid failed
- 3Feed line pinched behind the cabinet
- 4House pressure sagging too low
Step-by-Step Troubleshooting
- 1
Reach under the sink and crank the dishwasher stop wide open, not merely cracked
- 2
Follow the feed line for a squashed or kinked stretch between the stop and the machine
- 3
Back off the supply line and pick the calcium out of the inlet-valve screen mesh
- 4
Gauge feed pressure at a nearby tap — a dishwasher wants roughly twenty PSI or more to fill on time
Pro Diagnostic Tip
Prime the hot line by running the kitchen tap hot for a moment before you start a load. If the tub still times out with the stop wide open and pressure healthy, the inlet-valve solenoid has quit and the valve is replaced.
