HDA2000-01 Hotpoint Dishwasher - Instructions

I went to PartSelect online and easily found an exact duplicate of my old basket at a reasonable price. I ordered it, expecting delivery in about 3 - 5 days. It was on my doorstep 2 days after the order was placed. I opened the dishwasher door, set it in the place of my choice, and what a timesaver! Try it! You'll like it!

Looked on the web for help. Took off the panel on the front under the door. I did some clean-up (it was greasy.) Saw the 2 springs, the broken "door cable and eyelet", and the other such cable, still unbroken, all rendered useless by the broken part. Removed all those parts (the eyelets slip over some levers on the door, the cables pass over nylon pulleys -- nothing is attached, just held together by tension.) Reassembled the dishwasher (we kept using it, with care.) Found the manual for the dishwasher on-line, found the part number, ordered 2 even though the good one still looked OK. After a few days, parts arrived. No problems assembling -- the spring tension is moderate, if you can do a push-up you can do this.

I removed the old corner tub baffle's and replaced them with the new one's and that took care of the problem. I used a putty knife to remove the old one's and put some new adhesive on and put the new ones in place and let them set up for two days to let them really set up and they work really good no leaks.

I removed the sump cover and it was disgusting! This was the first thing I did to trouble shoot. I tried cleaning the cover but it was just too dirty. I ordered a new part and now I don't have any more water pooling at the bottom. I unscrewed the cover and then screwed on the new one. It did not come with screws so keep your original screws.

Put rack in place and snapped new one in.

Quick and easy...a 7 yr old could have done it.

On this model the panel under the door can be removed by unscrewing two hex screws on the upper panel and two phillips head screws on the lower vent panel. The drain solenoid is located on the left side of the pump and can be accessed easily without pulling the dishwasher out from under the counter. The solenoid is held in place with two phillips head screws, and the plastic actuator that is attached to the valve stem is simply press fitted on and held in place with a retaining ring. All necessary parts are included in the repair kit.

We removed old gasket, cleaned surfaces and installed new gasket.

Turn off the power at the breaker panel. Turn off the water supply that goes to the dishwasher. Remove the front lower panel to gain access to disconnect the water line and electric. Now remove the two screws that connect the dishwasher to the countertop. You should be free to slide the dishwasher from under the countertop far enough to remove the drain hose. Slide the dishwasher out all the way and lay on the floor door down. Loosen the two clamps that hold the motor up. Remove the motor bracket, (should only be one screw. Disconnect the wires from the motor. Now just pull the motor down and out. Repeat the process to install the new motor. I took several pictures before I started removing anything. The instruction that comes with the kit is very good. Their will be parts in the kit that will not be used. Not to worry!

I popped out the stoppers at the end of the gliders. removed broken rollers and slid on new rollers.re-installed stoppers, tested all functions. tested good

I have done this a couple of times before. I figured one of the cables had broken. In this case, the cable had slipped off the tensioning wheel. Since I had alraady bought the cables, I replaced the cable, re-routed it over the wheel. I could have discovered the problem by taking off the kick panel earlier, but the cable probably needed replacing anyway. I normally replace both cables but did not do so in this case. I'm no do-it-yourselfer, but even I can do this...

I looked on Part select at the model number of the dishwasher. I looked at the diagram of the diswassher and the hose. I read some of the repair stories. And became sure the upper hose was my problem and was armed with the ability now to fix my machine. Thanks PartSelect

Pop out the old baffles with the help of a screwdriver, push in the new parts in their places and done.

Removed old gasket and baffles. Installed new gasket and baffles. Very easy, no need to soak in warm water. I actually took the inside panel off so I could make certain the seal was tight. Panel came off easy, just need to make sure that the door latch gets reinserted into the slot in the inside panel. Very Easy.

It was very easy to attach the wheel after viewing the video on the part I order from partselect.com. Thank you for the help!!
