Like a real amature I dont have a model number 😳 (mainly because i am in bed right now) but you will know it as the Brandt made dishwasher with the detergent dispenser in the top basket, right? Its got a leak from the area where the valve is that feeds the spray arms , its connected to the circ pump by a rubber bellows and to the sump moudling by 2 o rings and as soon as the pump starts up it leaks like crazy but when I remove the valve etc i cannot see anything amiss. Anyone else had a leak form this area and can give me a clue what to order?
any help, as always much appreciated.
Mark.Re: Brandt/De detriech/Hotpoint even dishwasher
Had this on a hotpoint DF53. It was caused by a small hole in the bellows seal, mouse damage. 🙂 It was an absolute pain to get the retaining clip back on.
Hotpoint Part No’s
Valve moulding 1801538
‘O’ rings 1801552
Bellows 1801539
I only had to change the bellows seal.Re: Brandt/De detriech/Hotpoint even dishwasher

It does make you wonder what exactly a whitegoods engineer gets up to late on a Saturday night/Sunday morning doesn’t it?
Not sure if a pattern is emerging here??????? :con:

To be honest, I wasn’t sure if he meant he was a real armature or a real amateur. 😛
Re: Brandt/De detriech/Hotpoint even dishwasher
Just to bring closure to this thread, it was the motorised valve that was leaking, god knows from where, I just guess it was cracked and would open up under pressure. A new one fitted and all is well and electrue only charged me £69 for the part! Me, I am back off to bed.
HOLY !
£69! That seems a tad OTT for a fill valve.
Guess that’s yet another customer that won’t be buying Brandt/Fagor/De Deitrich (or whatever they call themselves these days) product again then.

Re: Brandt/De detriech/Hotpoint even dishwasher
Was it a solenoid valve, or the valve body that fits onto the Circulation pump, with the bellows and ‘O’ ring. The Hotpoint 1801538 valve moulding is listed in PF as £15.48 !! Perhaps they use a different one on your machine.
Re: Brandt/De detriech/Hotpoint even dishwasher
Some Brandt versions have a motorised (upper/lower spray arm water director thing) valve where that part is fitted to the Hotpoint, I think that’s the part Mark is refering to, hence the high price.

Re: Brandt/De detriech/Hotpoint even dishwasher
Your right Dave, it is the valve between the circ pump and the spray arms, it is the motorised version as opposed to the MFI/Hotpoint basic type which is just a plastic moulding. I bet the Pre connect Brandt price would have been cheaper. It was a top of the range Brandt dishwasher (we sold it too 😯 ) I guess the same as the De detriech intergrated one.
