time to give up?A repair guy with clairvoyant abilities is a rare find indeed. I tend to not use tarot cards or crystal balls but instead get out my toolbox and test meter and check things thoroughly before making a diagnosis.
If the heater was found to be faulty then they are still readily available.
Some people eh?

It’s NOT a chip but a simple reed switch that sits in the middle of the water matrix. Easily accessible by removing the left side panel.

Crack on then and check out that heater. Let us know what you find. Any probs and you want hands on help then give a local repair guy a call. 😀

You’re talking about the Reed Switch (not chip) that sits in the side of the water matrix. That is easily accessible by removing the left hand panel.

??? Are you referring to the power module under the plastic cover? If so then yes of course. 😕

I believe so yes.
Re: Which way does the cold water pipe go
Well for “the Council” then as they avoided the hose kink. Whichever way suits the specific location is the way forward.

Bottom right hand side, directly behind where the main lead connects is the main power board you’re looking for presumably.
Re: Hotpoint df61 dishwasher "bang"
So the likelihood is that the heater may be the culprit? Power off, lid and rh side panel off to access the heater. Are you OK with electrics? Multimeter at the ready for this stage,

OK so now we both know the mains filter is fine. So why now did you switch it off prematurely so we don’t know at what point it trips?
By all means call in a pro but all the same I could help you further toward a possible conclusion as to what may be the issue here.
Run a cycle and let me know exactly at what point the RCD trips 😀
Re: Hotpoint df61 dishwasher "bang"
As I hinted in my earlier post, your mains filter is fine. It would show signs of black burn marks if it wasn’t. Put it back and check elsewhere I would suggest.
Not convinced? Read my earlier post and try that ‘test’. 😉
Re: Hotpoint df61 dishwasher "bang"
If the dishwasher is switched off and yet plugged into the mains with the mains on and it still trips the RCD then the mains filter is at fault.
If it only trips once the dishwasher is set to a program and then turned on you can safely rule out the mains filter and start looking elsewhere.
Circulation pump, heater or dispenser solenoid are likely suspects.
