Snipped

I got the door replaced under warranty, but not impressed.
dont buy hotpoint anything.


I think your advice is a little naive and based on bitterness. Most white
goods are just badged to suit the market. The one you experienced may have
never been inside a factory with the name Hotpoint on it. Best to take any
model on its merits / value for money / features. The name has little
meaning these days.
