Leaking at less than three years old due to insulation not stuck down securely
2/5
Poor Build Quality - Writing this review for a C1745 dishwasher purchased less than three years ago. Initial impression was good but I would expect a new dishwasher to wash dishes satisfactorily. However the machine failed to run the other day so had to investigate. The machine had sprung a leak because the lip under the door had distorted. This happened because all of the bitumen insulation inside the door had not stuck down properly and the bottom piece had dropped into the gap between the door and the lip and bent it. Now water flows over that lip into the base and trips the flood protection. Have removed the insultion for now and bent the lip back into shape to hold the water in. That has got the machine running again but I'm not impressed with the quality compared to other dishwashers I have owned (Hotpoint - lasted 20 years, Tricity - lasted 14 years, Smeg lasted 11 years)
