Plug melted to dishwasher

[Si_Faz]

TBH mate there’s not a lot you can do. I would be going with the freestanding one but without knowing the layout of the property only you know if you can live with it or not.

If there’s damage to the area around the socket takes photos and inform the estate manager to cover yourself. Also when you have the annual electrical inspection point the socket out so it can be tested correctly as I know they often don’t do a full inspection and just change the batteries in the smoke alarm.

It's so frustrating, if it was my house I could sort it. Even if I was renting I could probably sort it. Just stupid military ---- contracts making life hard!

Yeah I like that page, not sure how far it'll get me mind. I was also looking at the Carillion hate pages. But again, moaning probably wont get me far. I was hoping for legal facts to give me a solid argument. Never mind. Maybe I'll go the H&S route and make out like my kids will brae themselves on a protruding dishwasher.

I can fit a free standing unit but it would stick out about 3 inches from the cabinet. and where the dish washer is located is a thruway of sorts to my living room. (the kitchen is in the centre of the house)

so you cant use bowl and water then with mild green fairy liquid then .

Ha, I can. But I only have 8 inches of worktop next to the sink and a small draining board. They laid the kitchen out to have a dishwasher.

As they have provided the dishwasher this comes under ISTIEE regulations (PAT). You can ask to see the testing records for this appliance, good luck with that.

TBH you could try any legal route but you will get nowhere, they have very well paid barristers on their payroll.

You've seen in the past how far people have got with much more serious issues, you've more chance of curling one out of the moon than getting any where with this.

if my dishwasher brakes down ,heaven forbids. I would have to get the pink marigolds out and start using them .

Personally,before posting in such a public place,having had an incident,caused by the fitting of my own "un-entitled" pot washer...
I would have got a spark to sort it,and just added that cost,to the depreciation on another dishwasher.
