Hi All,
I’ve got a vintage Hotpoint DF22 dishwasher in my kitchen which is leaking water. Obviously, given the corrosion, it’s been leaking for a while, but only recently been leaking out onto the floor where we could see it. Anyway, in the linked pictures, I’ve highlighted the corroded bit. Water doesn’t gush out, but drips whether or not the machine is running.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nZ_SX0W_d06LLpeSu0-KT7IhGmbeMFxawQ/view?usp=sharingCan anybody tell me what the leaking part is called. My initial Googling led me to believe that it might be the float switch, but given my limited knowledge of dishwasher workings, could very well be wrong. It seems that some dishwashers have a visible float, but the DF22 doesn’t, just a float to indicate salt reserves.
Any help on naming the part and more importantly, fixing the issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
SamRe: Hotpoint DF22 leaking
think it the solenoid on the softener unit
see added picture, its not off your machine but will give you the idea
if yes we can look for part number and availably

Re: Hotpoint DF22 leaking
Agree with Dave, looking at the parts diagram the regeneration valve is listed as still available but at a hefty price, you would also need the sealing O ring kit.
Valve C00247586
O ring kit C00247505Part numbers 101 and 102 on attached diagram.
Re: Hotpoint DF22 leaking
These machines are actually a rebadged Bosch machine so I did some google digging on C00247586 and came up with bosch part number 051835
cant be 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} its the same
What do you think Iadom
if it will fit its only £27 from Bosch

Re: Hotpoint DF22 leaking
Whilst I agree with my colleagues that that valve needs changing the actual leak you will find is coming from the matrix chamber directly above that valve. What occurs is that the float unit slightly overfills that chamber and drips water out of the vent hole and down onto the floor via that valve.
The cure is to remove and clear the float unit. Remove the long black rubber hose and clean that out. Reassemble both, replace the valve and Voila! ….sorted 😀
Re: Hotpoint DF22 leaking
Thanks everyone for your replies. Even with a 1-week-old in the house (on top of the other two kids and my mother), I managed to get some time this evening to bang about a bit. I haven’t replaced anything, but I did clear the black hose. That didn’t seem too gunky, but there was some build up. I also managed to figure out how to remove the side panel and then the float unit and cleaned that up a bit as well. Although again, not too much build up from my perspective, but what do I know?
Anyway, now running a cycle and so far so good. No dripping yet. DAve said this dishwasher is just a Bosch rebadge, is there a Bosh model number that correlates directly to this Hotpoint model? I ask as I think we might need to replace the racks sooner rather than later.
Thanks again,
Sam
Re: Hotpoint DF22 leaking
Don’t know the direct correlation. In fact I don’t believe there was one. But both Bosch and Hotpoint replacement baskets (if still available?) would be prohibitively costly. 🙁
