Hi Folks,
Our Bosch KGN34X00GB has lasted less than 6 months 🙁 , falling victim to the curse of the “blocked drain hole” problem. After talking to the engineer during his visit, I’m not at all sure I want to take a chance on another Bosch, although I see the KGN34X00GB has now been replaced in the range by a KGN34X01GB model. We’ve actually been offered a refund by the retailer because the new model isn’t available from Bosch, so we’re looking at other manufacturers. Does anyone have any experience with models from the Hotpoint range? The FF187E seems to have all of the features we need, but I haven’t seen this model discussed on thie forum – I’m hoping this is a good sign.
Has anyone got any experiences they would be willing to share?
Alan.
Re: Looking for replacement for Bosch KGN34X00GB
Yes, I know about the heater mod, but the engineer (from Bosch) didn’t recommend this, and left us with a report which said “unable to repair, authorized for exchange”.
If a Bosch engineer doesn’t think the mod is a good idea…
Hotpoint FF187E reversible doors
OK, so after much chasing around we finally have the magic uplift number from Bosch which allows us to get a refund. Next question…
We took a look at the Hotpoint FF187E this weekend. It has reversible doors but a very (and I mean very) brief description of how to do this (a tiny diagram, no words). Does anyone have experience of how easy/difficult this is? The Bosch was fairly straightforward (if a bit fiddly), but at least the diagrams were clear.
Thanks for any advice,
Alan.
