Hi our NEW Hotpoint Integrated Washing Machine electric's sparking!
The motor is on the bottom and I can see it slightly sparking looking underneath the machine (kitchen unit plinths not fitted yet)....but when it does another spin it sparks very brightly so if you stand up say 6 feet away you can see the flashing on the floor surface.
Had the engineer from Hotpoint visit today and he said it's just the brushes and normal operation. IS THIS CORRECT?
Just worried that it may start a fire....I can get a mirror and look under the WM and see the sparks just really concerned don't want our new kitchen set on fire.
Can anyone offer any advice and put my mind at rest....our old freestanding Hotpoint didn't have this problem but it was obviously a different model and you could not see inside it!!!
Appreciate any replies.
