It seems Bosch are in hot water over their dishwashers, no pun intended.

Dishwashers...
What I want to know, why all the media coverage now? The recall became apparent last year when we had ours seen to, we have one like in the second photo on the Mail page, and Bosch were very efficient, sending a man out within 4 days to repair the fault, it was also out that certain Hotpoint machines, made by Bosch, such as the DWF range(from the early 2000's), were at fault as well, which I believe was sorted as well as the BSH case.
What also shocked me was that there was no mention of Siemens & Neff, which also are big players in the dishwasher industry. Bosch/Siemens/Neff/Hotpoint dishwashers, Beko fridge freezers/tumble dryers, Beko/Leisure gas cookers, Hoover fridge freezers, White Knight condenser dryers - what is going on in the appliance world in the last few years, obviously cutting costs covers part of it, but is it by so much that these disastrous events happen? That is the question... | ||

So how does an owner of a Bosch dishwasher (such as myself) know whether a dishwasher may be affected by this potential problem? | ||

I have one of these' dishwashers. It's been fine since it was installed in 2004 or 05. The serial number is the affected one but I've not bothered to get then to check it. I just don't use it when out or asleep. | ||

When you buy an appliance in the UK or EU don't you have to register it to get the warranty started? That information is what creates the connection between homeowner and manufacturer. Over here when a recall is issued the Dept of Consumer affairs usually posts all types of machine on its website so you can quickly attend to the errant appliance.
How does the recall system work for automobiles?

I can only say something about the Netherlands. The retailer is the one you have a business relations ship with when you buy something, not the manufacturer. So you have to contact the retailer if there is an issue with an appliance. The receipt is enough to prove the warranty period. Some people call the manufacturer directly, that is OK too. The receipt is also proof for the warranty.
In some cases you can fill in something on a website, but I don't know anyone who ever did that. | ||

Hoover spin damage
yes maybe the big explosion was the Hoover what ever model it was letting rip on its final spin, mind could have been an indesit or a candy..........hmm the plot thickens..........but as certain Beko products have turned out to be killers already i reckon the police should be questioning the Beko appliances ;-)
