Faulty dishwasher manufacturer is…….?
Well, I”ll start you off – I’ve read most of the headings over the last 6 months and Diplomat just screams out with problems, it is closely followed by Indesit. Go on, count them for yourself.
Quick question for Penguin45….. have I won the prize in the identity persona contest?
I wish – it’s STILL a killer :rotl: !
Unfortunatley, Diplomats are far and away the most common dishwasher searched out and arriving on UKW – they are by no means the worst – generally, they’re pretty reliable; it’s the support side which doesn’t work so well.
The likes of Haier, Indesit and Brandt are the one which are driving everyone in the trade potty – poor technical support, poor build quality, poor spares support just makes the job harder and harder. The really difficult part is that the public WILL buy things on price, then wonder why instant service and parts are available in a somewhat sporadic fashion.
Best wishes to you and yours,
Penguin45.
Re: And the nomination for…..
True, Diplomat dishwashers do appear here often but a few things needed to be taken into consideration.
1) Search for Diplomat Dishwasher on google and this site is almost top of the list, search, for example, Bosch dishwasher and that is not the case.
2) Diplomat is just a name, they dont actually make anything, most of their dishwashers are infact made by an upmarket appliance manufacturer who’s own brand dishwashers are way up the price scale and are anything but rubbish. Interestingly, their own name appears on UKW far less often.
3) Most Diplomats are supplied with fitted kitchens rather than being the choice of the customer. Somehow, they dont seem to be looked after in the same way as someone who has splashed out, say £800 on a built in Miele or Siemens etc. True, the Diplomat does seem to suffer more from grease build ups etc and therefore the less grease that goes in in the first place the less trouble they will cause.Beleive me, there are far worse diswashers out there.
Hi Penguin – I’m thinking of changing my name – to Hairy Putter, but since I know little of golf, I leave such option open.
Re: And the nomination for…..
🙁
Some interesting mails about Diplomat. I’ve got a dishwasher that has just packed up and was wondering if there would be any Diplomat engineers in my area (South East London). I didn’t buy the dishwasher myself, as it was in the house that I moved into.
Does anyone have a contact number for the company that provides these machines?
Thanks.
Colin
