We bought the ZDF 501 2 years ago, and its worked fine. However, 2 nights ago, the dishwasher control panel caught fire about 5 minutes into a wash cycle. Fortunately we were able to put out the fire within seconds of smelling smoke, but the flames were already quite big, and molten plastic from the dishwasher had started a secondary fire on our kitchen floor. LOTS of smoke as well! This product has not been recalled, unlike the 601, but I read the previous post documenting a similar problem, and thought I should give a heads up to owners, or potential owners, of this model. To be fair, Zanussi were very concerned when we called them this morning, and are sending someone to investigate. I'll keep readers updated as to their findings.
