Re: Hotpoint FDW20 gone pop!

Well after not finding any problems I decided to try it.

I put a pack of dishwasher cleaner in an monitored a full wash with the cleaner and all went fine.

Ill try another cleaner pack to make sure the heating element is clean from limescale

It was well overdue a cleaner I should have done it a while ago.

I really dont understand why as I even smelt burning! Unless it was something else it the kitchen, electic oven was on too and the gas cooker hob.

Weird. Well ill continue to monitor everything to see if maybe something else was the problem

Sorry, ive never came across one of these devices before.

How would i test it?

Visually it looks fine. I know what your talking about I think, looked a bit like a starter for a fluorescent light with spade connectors sticking out the top?

If thats it there was no burning or discolouration?

Thanks,

Ben
