If your washing machine hasn’t got aquastop, and you’ve never had any issue, your dishwasher will be exactly the same risk. Supply hoses on Bosch machines are excellent and it’s very unlikely you’ll ever have any issues. SKS62E32EU appears to have AquaStop but call Bosch UK or ask the retailer...

No. They definitely didn’t turn off the water to any appliance ever in Ireland anyway. It wouldn’t even have been practical as the valves were probably behind the dishwasher. I’m not aware of anyone who does that, but I do remember it was common in France to turn off the water at the mains...

They tend to come as either fully integrated or semi integrated or free standing. Generally free standing dishwashers are slotted under counter tops here. There’s no built under category. Example: It’s possible the counter tops in kitchens here are higher. They’re usually designed to be...

You might want to check your water pressure is OK. It sounds like the machine just isn’t getting a sufficient flow of water. Clean the inlet filters fully and make sure nothing’s squeezed or kinked behind the machine. If you’re in a hard water area, you can use the same limescale removers...

In all the years I’ve owned a dishwasher and even thinking back to my parents’ and grandparents’ dishwashers, I’ve never encountered one that’s flooded the house or even leaked at all. It’s not a bad idea to have it if it’s available, but I don’t think it’s particularly necessary, especially in...

It’s important to bear in mind that there are multiple design philosophies which were used in an approaches to both persosl Shock protection and earthing / grounding systems. Dutch wiring, done to code, is generally very safe. The key thing is don’t just assume that you can apply approach that...

Also btw the reversible plugs are nothing to do with the 2-pole breaker requirement. The MCB will always be on the live no matter what way you insert the plug. So that’s not really relevant. It only matters if there’s a fuse in the plug, as in the UK and Ireland, because if you reversed a UK...

Just for the sake of anyone reading this in the future, as I’m sure it’s long resolved, the sockets pictured at an obsolete Spanish grounded 3-pin type that was once commonly installed in some regions of Spain. They are similar to Swiss 3-pin plugs (Swiss plugs will even fit the sockets) but...

It sounds like a very old installation that should be surveyed by an electrician at this stage. RCDs were optional in Ireland on installations before about 1980, but unlike many countries, rules around earthing were very robust and wet areas had very limited electrical devices. They were...
