September 2, 2013
Hotpoint has issued a safety alert on Hotpoint DWF3 series and DC26 series dishwashers.
Hotpoint is aware of a small number of cases of dishwashers where an electrical component has failed. This may lead to overheating and in rare cases cause a potential fire hazard. A total of 13,669 of these branded dishwashers have been sold in Ireland between 1999 and mid 2003 through a number of retail outlets.
No other Hotpoint dishwashers are affected by this safety alert.
