Re: CIS640b Hotpoint Induction Hob F6
Thank you very much Dave. That really helps. Yes I have emailed the retailer who are actually Smart Care rewards – part of Domestic and General for further information on faults occurring on this model as if anyone would know it would be them! I’ve quoted The Consumer Rights Act 2015 so I will keep you posted. The other option is to pay £15 a month x 12 for them to repair but personally if a product is so poorly constructed that it fails in under three years I wouldn’t ever buy another.
Thanks again
Suzie
Re: CIS640b Hotpoint Induction Hob F6
Hi Electrofix – would a board failure affect two heating areas – or would it affect all four? How much would a new board cost if I organised a call out. It’s 18 months old which is pants for a new hob in my opinion. All appliances I have owned have lasted at least 5 years. I’ll write to them for information on the failure rate to see if these induction hobs are particularly fragile. They should be fit for purpose.
Re: Hotpoint BF162 Problem – two flashing lights draining er
Okay – will attempt tomorrow afternoon and see what happens! The hose clips seem to be silver circles that are very tight and unless I wedged a screwdriver in I couldn’t see how these could come off – or infact if they should come off. Hence the reason for not pulling anything off in case I couldn’t refit it.
The other weird thing is that my Hotpoint BFI62 is labelled as Hotpoint – the instruction book is Ariston LI62 and I am now told it is actually a cheap Indesit… Are hotpoint, indesit and Ariston the same company?
Re: Hotpoint BF162 Problem – two flashing lights draining er
I did all that yesterday – and it wasn’t obvious to me… but I am a girl and perhaps what is obvious to a man is not so obvious to me… 😉
I will take it all out again and see if it is obvious afterall – it just takes a while to shorten all the feet (so it can pass over the tile edge) and I can’t leave it on the floor in pieces.
So – do I just pull it out – or unclip it – unscrew it? It seemed all quite solid to me and I couldn’t see anyway to take it apart.
Anyone got any pictures or just a basic explanation of how to take the draining pipe apart from the bit I need to look at? I don’t want to use brut force and then someone tell me ‘you only needed to turn it and it would have come off easily’…
Re: Hotpoint BF162 Problem – two flashing lights draining er
Thanks iadom – thanks for your super speedy response. You are correct it was a very cheap dishwasher – but it’s worked since 2003 when I had it installed with my new kitchen. Can’t grumble about that 🙂
The problem I have is I couldn’t see how to inspect any part of the dishwasher around the outgoing hose. Is there some kind of method or trick to this?
Thanks for the info about the brown stuff!
