Bosch, Neff and Siemens dishwashers, batch FD 7901 to FD 8504: fire risk

An electrical component may overheat and, in very rare cases, could cause a fire.

What to do: Find the model and FD (batch) number, engraved on the top edge or on a sticker on the left inside of the door. If the FD is between 7901 and 8504, stop using the dishwasher and contact BSH to confirm and book a free in-home repair (freephone 0800 023 4881). If you already contacted BSH about this repair, no further action is needed.
