How to check if your machine has been recalled over fire hazard concerns
An ITV News investigation has found more than 600,000 dishwashers that were recalled due to fire hazard concerns are still unaccounted for.
Hotpoint said it was aware of a "small number of cases" where an electrical component had failed in the appliance, which could lead to overheating and "in rare cases a potential fire hazard".
Here is a step-by-step guide of what to do to find out if your Hotpoint or Bosch dishwasher is affected.
Hotpoint dishwashers
To find out if your Hotpoint dishwasher has been recalled:
Make sure the machine is turned off and disconnected from the wall socket
Check the model number - this can be found on a sticker on the inside of the door
The model number can also found on the front of the appliance
If your product is affected, call Hotpoint's Customer Service line on 08442 412574

Hotpoint advises, "While you are waiting for an engineer visit, we recommend for your peace of mind not to leave the dishwasher unattended while in use."
