Question about my new Hotpoint SDL510p dishwasher

[simon_bryant]

Hi,

Iv just bought the new Hotpoint Slimline Model SDL510p / Serial No 007088377 36685960900

Is this model any improvment over the dreaded last Hotpoint model (SDW60) the one with the dodgy PCB.

Would be interested to find out.

Many Thanks

Early days Simon on this gem but being as it has a heat/pump unit I would advise you do make sure to put salt in the softener unit. Hard water can be it’s biggest enemy without it… 😉

Thanks for the reply, and yes i have already decided that salt will be added to the water softener.

Are the multi tablets ok to use also with Rinse Aid – this Machine actualy has a Multi Functional Tabs option – not quite sure what its suppoed to do but it has this feature.

Thanks Martin.

It lengthens the total wash cycle to ensure full dispersal of the various tablets ingredients.(i.e power ball rinse aid etc) I recommend trying it without using that option. Only if the results aren’t as you would have hoped to then switch this feature on. 😉

THIS is basically the exact same machine.

Like your last one it is in fact 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} imported Indesit, why on earth did you buy another one. 😥

Already suffering lots of heater and PCB failures. :rolls:

This is my first dishwasher, i got the information on the SDW60 PCB on this forum after i had already purchased this new hotpoint.

I guessed iv lucked out on this then….

Any idea’s/information how i can prolong the life on this…or should i just go with the 5 year extended guarantee

Thanks again…. 🙁

Re: Question about my new Hotpoint SDL510p dishwasher

Ah, I see, you should have asked us first. 😉

A five year warranty contract may be a good idea if it a reasonable price.

If it is possible I would advise removing the mains plug or switching it off at the socket or isolation switch when not in use.

OMG really? how come? the socket is difficult to get to.

Re: Question about my new Hotpoint SDL510p dishwasher

Well the post I linked to is the first instance of one of these setting on fire that I have heard of. It could just be a one off, isolated incident but over the years certain dishwashers, particularly Zanussi did have tendency to ‘ spontaneously combust’ 😥

Lets face it, one fire in a newish appliance is one to many. :rolls:

Re: Question about my new Hotpoint SDL510p dishwasher

Ok thanks, maybe i’ll try routing an extension lead under tyhe sink so i can isolate it when its off….

Thanks for the info.
