Bosch dishwasher recall (also Neff and Siemens)

I received a letter from them, and having checked that it was my old scrapped dishwasher (don't ask!), I ignored it. I then received a further letter which asked me to return it to confirm that the dishwasher was out of use if I didn't need the recall.

Manufactured 1999-2005 - oooh - that includes mine.

Thanks for the heads up -

This is one occasion when SPAM might have a benefit!

And that could include some machines purchased later than 2005 if they had been sitting around for a while. Mine was supplied in 2009 by a kitchen company which had bought a job lot at a knock-down price - so I thought I had better check. In the event, the FD number on mine is 8805

- which is later than the recall range - so that's ok.

We have a Neff dishwasher which we inherited when we bought this house. I only buy a newspaper on Saturdays and happened to spot a 'recall' ad in the Sat. Telegraph a few weeks back. Our dishwasher serial no. fell within the range they are concerned about. Arranged an engineers visit on-line. Engineer came and replaced the circuit board. All very painless. Engineer did say ads. have been appearing periodically over the past couple of years, and that there have been no reports of the component actually igniting.

Thanks for this. Ours is amongst those affected. Wouldn't have known otherwise.

I left one behind when I moved about 5 years ago. Recently speaking to the person who is there now they mentioned that a service engineer had turned up and undertaken a repair. I thought this was pretty good as it was located on a boat and not in a house, the address as such was fairly vague and the boat had moved to different berth some distance away. The service engineer must have fancied doing a bit detective work or took his task fairly seriously to find it.
