Re: Hotpoint dishwasher FDW80 – where is leak as rust on flo

Hi Iadom, I had the dishwasher up ended last weekend & worked out the leak came most likely from a crushed waste water flexi pipe. It had become crashed behind the dishwasher up against the wall & the back of the base unit. The water ran back down the outside of the pipe, leaving crusty white deposits all the way down to the back of the dishwasher & under the washer, gathering in a puddle where the casing touched the floor.
I have done a quick fix with duct tape, which could become the permanent fix, like it often does on my Landrover!
I will post more in the future if it gets worse. Thanks for your help.
Regards, Rob

Re: Hotpoint dishwasher FDW80 – where is leak as rust on flo

Thanks iadom. Is there any way of testing it without pulling it out & up ending it, like running a diagnostic programme (using button combinations for example) that isn’t detailed in the users manual that only service engineers would know about, or is our dishwasher not advanced enough (microprocessor wise) to be manipulated this way?
Failing that I could pull it out at the weekend, take a picture then upload it here for you to comment on.
Any help you can offer greatly appreciated, thanks, Rob
