General Comments

We had a Zanussi DWS-949 dishwasher that started to trip the power supply on the very hot wash. To their credit, Zanussi attended, even though the machine was just outside the 12-month warranty. Eventually the fault was traced to a leak from a 'silicon weld', a sealed joint in the main stainless-steel body. Zanussi declared the machine unrepairable and replaced it with a new machine. Now, after 2 years, guess what? The replacement machine has developed the same fault. Water trickles down from the joint onto the electrical connections and short-circuits the incoming mains terminals. Dangerous, yes. Annoying, yes. Solution? We gave up and bought a Bosch machine and will never touch a Zanussi again. Suggest you do the same. Any comments, Zanussi? Anyone want to take away a nearly-new but unusable machine? Brian
