Hi,
Son and daughter-in-law have just purchased the above machine.
It make a strange noise every 15 seconds or so when drying.
We ‘believe’ it is a squirt of water to condense the vapour from the drying.
It is fine that it does it, but is it acceptable to be able to hear it. It is quite loud.There should be a sound file here :-

First occurrence happens at 9 seconds in, then at 24 secs.
Phone call to Hotpoint, they think the machine requires levelling.
It is integrated.andytw

The water feed into the condenser is normally a steady trickle, never heard one make that noise. Certainly nothing to do with being unlevel.
I would get Hotpoint to check it out.
This machine is basically a bog standard 10 year old design from Indesit, no obvious changes to the internals on the dryer side as far as I can see.
Re: Brand new Hotpoint BHWD129 washer and dryer strange nois
We added a shock arrestor which made it a bit quieter (subjective observation only) and also turned down the fill tap. Combined result is that it is now a lot quieter.
With the fill tap completely off (as a test) the machine just makes a barely audible click so it is water inrush/flow stop/start that we are hearing.Re: Brand new Hotpoint BHWD129 washer and dryer strange nois
