Hi again. sorry its took a while to re visit my post,what with the moving,new job and all that associated stuff its been very busy times.Well, im glad to say the appeal totally dismissed the claims(all 3)and returned the deposit. I spent ages compiling some fact based statements,printing and dating with photographs attached.A big section was screenshots and links to the above thread.In the tribunals summing up they noted that i had researched and received information from a professional source and they noted the opinions given on here. Particularly relevant were the possible dates of manufacture and the fragility of mid range white goods. The report really didn’t read well for the claimants,as they tried to make it personal so to add some weight to a rather lame claim.The other item (non white goods) claimed for was £240 for a lost rim latch key on a wooden shed. I dis proved this as well,so this probably made their claim look a tad greedy.. the whole appeal process took 2 months as the adjudicators are one month in arrears.Now we have the funds,after a few months of hand washing up,we have purchased a dishwasher of our own! Its a Leisure Patricia Urquiola in black gloss. V stylish,please don’t tell me its rubbish!! we’ve had a skin full of dishwashers!! Seriously, if you find yourself in a similar position, the appeal process works.As much honest detail as possible and photos,date stamped photos. Once again guys thankyou.

Re: Homeking dwi 600 dishwasher

Thanks for your comments guys.
As I have said, we are totally shocked by these claims.
We only found out this claim after calling the deposit scheme
To chase progress of the deposit.
Up until this time we were in contact with the agent who was
Praising us on the condition of handover.!
The so called damage to the washing machine is ridiculous as it was stored in a spare bedroom,as they full well know.
The detached garage did suffer from a 2″ deep flood of rainwater.it subsided within a hour..

Re: Homeking dwi 600 dishwasher

Hi all.
Have details of the alleged damage to the homeking dw.
Looks like I going to get the short straw in this case..
Expert witnesses now.
I really can’t see how it will run to burn out the motor if the water and float are stopping the machine from running. How would a motor burn out if it’s not running through the cycles?
If all the display lights are lit and nothing will function, does the motor still run in silence.?
Thanks again guys.

Re: Homeking dwi 600 dishwasher

Sorry, ment to say it’s going to appeal on 16th this month and we have to submit evidence to a panel..thats why we were after possible dates of manufacture etc..othet than the ages of machines and an idea of fair lifespan I don’t really know what to say in my submission.
But I don’t think it’s fair I have to replace machines that are potentially 10 years old..
Thanks again guys.
PS I appreciate this is a white goods forum, not the C.A.B. 🙂

Re: Homeking dwi 600 dishwasher

Hi guys thanks for your responses.
We have been out of the property for 4 weeks now, and
The deposit was lodged in a dps scheme.
From a 50 page inventory that states the property was in a better condition than when the first inventory was prepared,
They have sadly gone down a different route.
Alledgeing that as we did not report the dishwasher to the agent (We did) they are claiming it as damage.
As they are doing the same with the washing machine als
o..on day one of the tenancy with their permission we moved their washing machine to a spare bedroom/studio as we had a new Samsung machine we had just purchased.now they allege the bearings have gone through storing it incorrectly outside..
From what I can see it’s manufactured between 2007-2009.
It’s a Hoover hwb 240-80.
It’s all a bit distressing really, just because we are tennants
It dosent mean we’ve never owned and looked after correctly
Some white goods…
