The dishwasher reported a heater fault on its front panel lights, I tested the heater and found it open circuit, I replaced the heater and it worked. A few months later the same happened, Hotpoint sent me a new part which I fitted and the dishwasher worked, for a few months, when the same happened again.
The fourth heater has now failed so there is clearly something strange going on: it is beyond me why a heater should fail in this way, the dishwasher functions normally (when the heater is OK), it washes correctly and I’ve cleaned out all the filters and checked all the pipes I can. The pump impeller seems OK and the pressure inside seems OK when it is washing.Any advice appreciated!
Re: Hotpoint SDAL1200P dishwasher heater failures
I’m wondering if perhaps the module may have an issue & is leaving the heater on for longer that it should & the thermal overload is failing. That said, I had one that had repetitive heater failures & it was eventually exchanged by the insurer. The new one had the same issue so I eventually concluded it must have been an external influence(limescale?!) as to have 2 different appliances with the exact same fault must be odds of millions to one against.
