I have a 2 year old Hoover dishwasher and a couple of days ago it started causing a burning smell. At first we did not know what was causing the smell but have now worked out it is the dishwasher.
Today I pulled it out and all looks OK. I sniffed the plug and that had the remnants of a burning smell.
Surprise the fuse box did not trip.
We called Hoover and they said £120 to fix it. No idea how they could know what was wrong over the phone ... they then tried to sell their £15 a month cover. We only paid £220 for it, so not going to pay them £120 to look at it or give them £360 over 2 years to "look after" it!
But, what I am wondering is, is it the dishwasher or the actual electrics? Is there a way to find out without putting a different dishwasher in there?
If I called an electrician, would they be able to diagnose the problem by, i.e. determine if a faulty dishwasher or something up with the wiring?
House only 12 years old, on a Tenby fuse box / consumer unit.
