I'd suggest you replace it with something else, i've had 2 hotpoint
dishwashers in the last 8 weeks, both failed irrepairably after between
4
and 7 washes, despite tinkering from the enginneer on two occasions
each.

I rejected the 2nd one and have now bought a Bosch.

A friend has since bought a hotpoint washer and the pump in that has
just
failed but not before flooding his kitchen...

Tim..



The Hotpoint dishwasher was made by Bosch you have bought the same thing
with a different name on it !

The pump in the Hotpoint is not made by hotpoint the same make of pump is
used by nearly every washer brand inc Bosch ! remarkable whats in a name !

I have it on good authority (the hotpoint enginneer of some 30yrs
experience, and also a friend of the family) that the hotpoint and indesit
machines are built by at the Indesit factory all inhouse.

Bosch *did* used to build them and badge them as Hotpoint, but no longer do
so.

Bosch use their own pumps whereas most of the others use an italian made
"ferfaboli" or somesuch.
