Hotpoint DC11A dishwasher. Still available?

[aqualectric]

Hotpoint DC11A small dishwasher – not strictly integrated, but pushes inside a cupboard and is secured by screws all around its outer frame. Used to be a Creda machine with the steam vent in the facia directly behind the soap dispenser. Remember it? Nice machine; NOT!! :rolls:
Is this type of dishwasher still produced by Merloni? If so, can anyone give me a ballpark price and availability?
Unfortunately, the farmhouse kitchen it lives in is built SO tightly around it that a direct replacement is the only answer. 🙁

Any help please??

No direct replacement now, Steve. I used to love these – nobody else would work on them.

What’s the matter with it, anyway?

Wash impellor sheared off the motor, floods the kitchen due to most of the hoses being nibbled away, full of mouse poop, loads of green slime inside (hasn’t been used for 2 weeks) rusty in the base…….. need I go on? In short, a complete piece of c**p. When I first saw it I had to conceal my disdain. :rolls:
I’ve repaired these dishwashers before and they are horrid things. So when you’re next in Dorset, Chris……. I’ve got a little job for ya, mate!! 😀

The other problem being that if it cannot be repaired and the customer wants a replacement then some timberwork will be required to accomodate either a 45 or 60cm wide machine. Also the plumbing may need to to be rerouted as well.
