Hotpoint Washing Machine Error code F09

A Hotpoint washing machine F09 error code signals a software or memory fault, meaning the machine’s settings are corrupted or it’s stuck, often shown by flashing lights or an unresponsive display, with common causes being a faulty control board or corrupted memory chip, requiring a simple reset (unplug for 10 mins) or a professional engineer for potential reprogramming or module replacement if the error persists

What it Means

Software/Configuration Error: Corrupted settings or a problem with the machine’s internal memory.
Machine Unresponsive: You can’t select the programs, lights may flash.

How to Fix it

Power Reset: Unplug the washing machine from the wall socket and wait for 10 minutes to clear the memory, then plug it back in and try a cycle.
Check for Related Issues if Error Continues: While F09 is software, some users report it alongside heating or pump issues, so briefly check the drain filter for clogs and ensure the door is fully latched.

When to Call and Engineer

If the F09 error returns after a power reset, the issue likely lies with the main control board or memory chip.
A professional may need to reprogram the module or replace the faulty control board (PCB).
