HDA2000Z02WH Hotpoint Dishwasher - Instructions

We did not want to spend money for a new dishwasher when the motor is doing just fine. So we went to our local Sears store and were told it would be $200.00 plus tax and it would be 7-10 days for shipping. So we went to partselect.com and ordered an upper and lower dishrack. It was here in 2 days and we paid about $175.00. They were really easy to replace and are working just fine.

Followed the easy to follow instructions. Disconnected water, power, drain hose.. Pulled out unit. Tilted to back, used nut driver to disconnect motor brace, loosened hose clamps. Pulled pump/motor off. Unscrewed off defective part. Cleaned area of debris to reassemble the part ordered. Reconnect everything, reinstalled dishwasher. Turned on unit. No leaks! Dishwasher works great.

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.

I removed the plastic inner door liner, removed the timer assembly. Replaced both plastic parts, Detergent cup release arm and dispenser release timer lever. The most difficult part was reassembling the timer lever spring. Long nose pliers made it simple. Works like new.

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

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

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!!

Dishwasher is 22 years old and I'm 80 years old so it took longer, about 3 hours. After removing, turned upside down and removed old pump-motor assembly and replaced with new following directions [which took a little while to figure out; my assembly was quite a bit different from the replacement pump-motor]. Pleasantly surprised at how quiet the dishwasher now runs. Normally I would replace this old an appliance, but this unit has provision for inserting a wood panel that blends with the cabinets and a new GE dishwasher with this feature costs $1300 MSRP. I'm trying to save money for when I get old so I decided to do the repair myself. For $150 it was a worthwhile investment.

Instead of purchasing a new dishwasher, I elected to replace the motor/pump assembly which the existing was noisy and leaking water. To start to took pictures of the existing assembly and marked the wiring connections. I read the instructions a few times until I fully understood and had the necessary parts identified. The only problem was the bracket that holds the solenoid has two holes for mounting the drain feedback bracket were not threaded. I was able to tap the holes (metric) and mount the bracket. Caution must taken not damage the solenoid coil.
