IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE – Bosch, Neff and Siemens Dishwashers

The Isle of Man Office of Fair Trading wish to make the public aware of an important product safety notice, re-issued by the appliance manufacturer.

It has been identified that an electrical component on a limited number of Bosch, Neff and Siemens branded dishwashers may overheat and in very rare cases cause a potential fire hazard. A free in-home repair programme is being undertaken by the manufacturer.

If you have already been in touch since the repair action began in July 2011, please ignore this notice.

The affected dishwashers were manufactured between 1999 and early 2005 and are certain models in the batch number range from FD 7901 to FD 8504. Dishwashers which are outside the batch number range are not affected.
