Had a quick look at a newish Hp D/w today and noticed that they have removed the over flow turret inside the tub and replaced it with a solid plug 🙂 could this be the end of the flooding into the base? 🙂 Funny thing is the anti flood switch is still in the base 😕 how is this going to operate?
Anyone care to enlighten me more?

Don’t think so Chris but it would’nt suprise meRe: Hotpoint / Ind DW’s
Some of the Haier / Indesit clones have reverted to the 2 tubes at the front corners. If it’s not reasonably level and they use 5 in 1’s – watch out!!!
Where’s Noah when you need him??? 😆 Who designs this utter rubbish? Probably gone into hiding, I would imagine!!!Steve.
Re: Hotpoin/Ind DW’s
I had another look at these today, there seems to be no overflow outlets in the tub at all, so it looks like if it overfills due to the umpteen different reasons then it will come out at the front 😕 I presume that the antiflood switch in the base is only for leaks in that area 😕 motor is still on the base plate waiting to be destroyed 😕
Re: Hotpoin/Ind DW’s
I attended one of these machines with the solid plug, customer was complaining of a leak from the front of the DW (BFI620) I run the machine and no leak 😕 ran it a second time and stopped it through the programme and had a look inside to check the water level, all ok, on closing the door water splurted out at the bottom of the door 😕 obviously the tub is now airtight which I find strange considering the crap goal post door seals that are fitted to these :rolls:. they generally don’t make contact all around the door. With the tub being airtight I presume that when the water is heated up in the DW then there must be a pressurisation, hence water being pushed out of the bottom of the door.
Anyone else come across this problem?
Can any of you current Hotpoint guys out there shed any light onto these new “solid plugs”?Re: Hotpoin/Ind DW’s
