Got one of these with the special safety fill hose that has turned red.
It looks as though the machine has oversoaped badly, she has been using 5 in 1 tablets, rinse aid and loads of salt in a very soft water area. 😯
According to the user manual this fill hose will turn red and shut off the water if there is a flood into the base. Apparently if this happens the hose has to be replaced.
A few questions for the Hotpoint/Comet lads.
How does this darned thing work, there are no electrical connections similar to a Bosch aquastop inlet valve/hose assembly, just normal elbow connection at the valve end. 😕
Looking on Partfinder it shows what appears to be exactly like the Bosch aquastop type of inlet/safety hose but this one has a thick, rounded grey plastic end attached to the inlet tap.
As the machine has a standard base float overfill mechanism would I be able to get away with fitting a bog standard fill hose?
If I do need the correct hose, is it a C00083761..? Partfinder shows two hoses, neither of which look like this one and both of those have the same part number. 😕

Re: Hotpoint BFI68 fill/safety hose
i had same problem pump was blocked noticed hose had turned red customer said it had been like that for a year or two looked on fastrack for part but customer decided not bother unless a problem arose that was 6mnths ago she justs turns tap off after use dont see why couldnt fit standard hose
Re: Hotpoint BFI68 fill/safety hose
I’m still intrigued by how this hose does ‘turn red’ and sense an overfill without any connection to the float switch etc. 😕
This machine is not filling and the valve is OK.
