“the fdw60 ruined my house”

written by on 11/01/2013

I moved to an old property 6 years ago. It has six bedrooms and numerous other rooms and is full of old wooden beems. Shortly after moving in I bought a new Hotpoint FDW60 dishwasher. To be fair it has been reliable up until three weeks before Christmas when it caught fire. Normally the dishwasher is put on at night when we go to bed. As luck would have it on this particular day my wife put it on before she went shopping. Two hours later she came back to drop off the shopping before collecting our youngest son from school and found the house consumed in smoke. I got home from work before the fire brigade arrived and managed to get inside the house and switch off electricity and open some windows. The outcome was a totally gutted kitchen and a house completely smoke damaged throughout. Every carpet has been written off along with the majority of the contents. Our Christmas was ruinied and we are looking at around 4-6 months rebulid time. Had there not been granit work tops in the kitchen the fire would have burnt up through the house and it would have been reduced to rubble.
I have three children a wife and a load of pets, had the fire been while they were asleep who knows what would happen.
The insurance company employeed an investigator who stripped the door off of the dishwasher. He found the cause to be a connector on a circuit board had burnt out and caught fire.
