HDA1030M01 Hotpoint Dishwasher - Instructions

within 5 minutes.Great site for information and parts

The repair went really smoothly, I found a video on youtube for how to remove the dishwasher, and the video on the parts page did a great job covering replacing the motor. The repair went really well. As others have noted, it ran really nosily the 1st time, and a little the 2nd. After that, it ran quieter, and stronger than it has in the 4 years we have owned the house.

I thought to myself, this is going to be easy, but I hit a couple bumps getting the end caps off. I just watched the video and it was great and helped me be sucessful. The only thing that would have helped was instructions on how to put the end caps back on! david

Removed the tray from its rails. Removed axle clips fro tray and replaced with new axles. Put tray back in rails and I was done. Works like

It was amazingly easy repair. I just order the correct parts from “PartSelect” and installed them and done. It was fixed.

Laid dishwasher on its side to get to the bottom very easily, unscrew the screw that was holding the bottom of the hose to the dishwasher, then remove the 2 screws in the top of dishwasher that is holding the shower hose in placeinstall new hose in reverse, very easy .

Ordered parts from Parts Select, and replaced lower roller wheels. The diagrams/ drawings were key in ordering the correct replacement parts - thanks

In the video, they must have been removing new parts from a new machine. 7 year old parts do not come off so easily. You may need a screw driver (I used a plain old dinner knife) to pry up the prong. (Parts went flying as they broke off for good!) I had to use a wrench to get the roller off. BUT, the new part slipped on like "greased lightening." Sooooooo, watch the video, follow their step by step instructions, but be prepared with a tool or 2 since the only reason you are doing this is because it is OLD!!!

Pop the new wheels on. The rear wheels are thinner than the front wheels so rack slides in smoothly

After examining the lower baffles, it was evident that their grooves were bent out of shape and warn. They were simple to pop out, I cleaned the area and popped in the new baffles. Unfortunately, the leak still happened. Upon further examination, the corners of the gaskets where they rubbed against the baffles also looked worn. So I ordered a replacement gasket and gasket insert and just installed them. Problem solved. The instructional videos were exceptionally clear. I'm not particularly handy. If I had not seen the videos online before ordering the parts, I would have called a repair service and spent $150+ more.

Removed the two bottom plates of the dishwasher with a Phillips screwdriver. Replaced broken cable by sliding eyelet over the stud. Hooked both cables into the springs and replaced bottom panels. Done.

Hook cable ends to arms on the bottom of the door. Then, hook one spring to the Triangle plates on the ends of the cables. Then hook one end of the second spring to the triangle plate on one of the cables. There will be significate tension when hooking the other end of the other cable. Vice grip pliers locked on the end of the other triangle plate works well to give a good grip for taking up the tension in oder to hook the last spring to the other triangle plate. Odds are that the broken cable will be obvious - the other cable will be weakened and should be replaced.

There is no repair easier than this! Simply remove the decayed gaskets and replace with new. No tools, no glue, no nothin'.

Just watch the video and you will be fine. The only thing I would suggest is buying both your rack slide end caps because with the age of my machine they were brittle and cracked/broke where they were supposed to only bend. Spend the extra $.64 and you will be glad you did.

Replaced the tray with a new one. Would have been no problem at all, if I had realized how the track end clip was supposed to go. I thought the release had to be pushed toward the lock, but it needs to be pushed away from it. This sounds confusing, but when you look at it, it may be more clear to you.
