Dishwashers: Dishwasher parts and spares Hotpoint dishwasher spares
Where to find Hotpoint dishwasher spares and replacement parts
Hotpoint is a big name in household appliances, selling everything from dishwashers and washing machines to cookers and hobs.
We took a closer look at what Hotpoint offers its dishwasher customers in terms of spare parts and repairs advice, as well as seeing what independent shops and repair engineers had to offer.
Buying Hotpoint dishwasher spares
Hotpoint's spare parts and accessories website sells genuine Hotpoint dishwasher spares such as drain hoses, motors, thermostats and basket runners. You'll need your product model number to search for the correct part. Standard delivery will cost £5.99, or £14.98 for express delivery.
You can also source Hotpoint dishwasher spares through its extended network of independent electrical shops across the UK.

Where else to find cheap Hotpoint dishwasher spares
Hotpoint dishwasher spares are also available to buy from various other online stores, including Espares, Partmaster, and BuySpares, so it's worth shopping around to find the best deal.
It's important to choose a reputable spare parts outlet and compare shops to get the best price. Domestic appliance body Amdea recommends customers always choose genuine and approved spare parts made by the manufacturer, otherwise you may invalidate your product guarantee.
Hotpoint guarantee
Hotpoint offers a five-year parts guarantee for all its domestic appliances, including dishwashers. All 'functional' parts are guaranteed for that duration, though it excludes 'cosmetic' dishwasher parts and accessories, as well as 'consumable' parts such as filters.
You'll need to use an authorised Hotpoint engineer to install the parts – but you'll be charged a time and labour fee outside the first year of owning your dishwasher.
Find a dishwasher repairer
If your product is no longer under guarantee, Hotpoint offers a fixed-price engineer repair charge of £74.98 including call-out, labour and all parts. You can book a repairer by calling 08440 903 444.
If your dishwasher has a serious problem such as a broken motor, an all-inclusive parts and labour fee could be a good option. When we called 150 independent repairers in January 2010 to get a quote for replacing a broken motor on an Indesit dishwasher, prices ranged from £80 to £200.
A fixed-price charge might not be such good value if your Hotpoint dishwasher needs only a simple fix – contact a local independent engineer for a quote. Which? Local lists details of local repairers used and recommended by Which? members.
