I love the machine, it reminds of olden days. Coz its a normal programmer that moves round as the cycle advances so you can keep up with the machine. It looks like a servis which i saw once when we went to look for new kitchen. The heating element has discoloured, or does it just look like that in photo? My dishwasher the df31 almond/cream colour, has a heating element that is not hidden like meodern machines. | ||

Nick - thanks for your message. I think the washer has an induction motor, it is very quiet, and it makes a loud humming noise each time it is startig to tumble from a stand still. Brush motors wouldnt make that noise, I guess thats because they dont have a capacitor. The cupboard does stay shut on spin - i am surprised but it does; its a hot and cold fill machine, so the cycles will be quicker; wash performance seems to be OK as well to be fair. I agree its just like a Servis machine from that late 1990's. The dishawasher....well not so keen on that to be honest; everthing seems to have sand on it after the cycle! Dyson - the heater is a funny colour! It was caked in limescale when i moved in, so i put salt in the container and that is the subsequent result Chris | ||

Dishwasher The white chalky deposits on the element look ominous! Try cleaning the filters, then running an Intensive Wash @ 70°C with FINISH Dishwasher Cleaner. This should cleanse the element of the chalky deposits. Continue to use salt, too. | ||

Hi Chris! Bit of a change from the hotpoint aqualtis!? Have you sold it? Diplomat are an MFI exclusive brand or were should i say. made by servis. My sister in laws father has just replaced his diplomat washer/dryer that was constantly aborting spins and didn't wash too well. Hopefully you won't be too plagued by it! The flexibility is good though. If your able to you could do what i suggested they and my brother do as his intergrated machine has bearing failure. Buy a freestanding machine and put the door on if you get a slim machine like an indesit. Darren | ||

Well...
I reckon the kitchen dates from somewhere around 2002-2004. We had ours done in London by B&Q and I have to say they did a fantastic job. The chap who fitted it was a plumber by trade. The corner sink unit we had meant we had a huge run of unobstructed benchspace and the fitout underneath for the (Bosch) dishwasher and (Blomberg) washer was beautifully done. Our cupboards, handles and benchtop were the same and we had vinyl timber effect flooring laid rather than floating floor which I don't like near potential water leaks... Thanks for the pics.... | ||

Hey Darren, The hotpoint is in storage for the time being....sort of missing it to be honest, although it is great that a 60*c cycle is done in an hr with the hot and cold fill!! I thought they were made by Servis - the controls and orange pilot lamp are all very similar. I really dont like the dishwasher....it just doesnt seem to clean very well at all | ||

Chris
We have an IAG badged later version of that dishwasher. The bottom basket layout is different, but it is a 'Servis' machine none the less... I found that it just didn't wash properly with powder no matter which one I used. Once I switched to tablets and a 60c cycle it was fine to the point where I rarely use a cycle with the pre-wash and have turned the drying off too. Try Lidls basic W5 tablets and see if it makes a difference | ||

...and I have another confession
I have even used 1 1/2 teaspoon of normal dishwashing liquid of late as I ran out of tablets... The one we have in the cupboard doesn't suds very much (Trix for the Aussies) so I thought 'why not'....I've checked part way through the wash part of the cycle and there were next to no suds in the bottom. Everything came out clean too.... ...and much more economical to use though I don't intend to make a habit out of it. | ||
