Indesit Dishwasher Recall

[macmini]

Hi all,

Was down at my elderly parents the other day to replace the dispenser on their Indesit dishwasher when I realised it was one of the affected units.

Unfortunately they are shielding so a repair isn’t viable currently, however I wondered whether had a copy of the recall notice or knew what’s involved?

I would like to get it safe for now – having spoken to them they’re not willing to provide a replacement or even a subsidised replacement, despite the fact they’re both in the severe risk category.

Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks.

What’s the model number? There are 2 or 3 recalls for Indesit models produced at different times in different factories.

Sorry, IDF125UK.

This is the most recent recall. I don’t have any information on that other than “A component in some Hotpoint and Indesit dishwashers manufactured between January 2008 and July 2010, has been identified as a potential fire hazard as it may overheat.” It is a pity manufacturers are not forced to publish more specific technical details, including lists of affected models and serial numbers, rather than hiding behind an online model checker.

The original safety notice from 2014 can be found here:

Yeah that’s all I could find too unfortunately.

Seems strange that they will happily replace the washing machines and tumble dryers but not the dishwashers.

Hopefully we’ve got a Whirlpool tech on here that can answer.

Thanks.

Cheers Dave, that covers this machine.

T shaped hole, same commercial code and serial number in range.

The picture here would also tend to point to the door lock:

Actually, just asked the old man for a photo of the rating plate. It’s a DEA602 machine so not affected by this.

Whirlpool are adamant it’s a recalled machine, though.

Have you got the serial number and industrial code?

Will message you.

Had them out today, it was the door lock recall.

Fortunately being DEA602, this wasn’t affected.
