HDA3230Z07WW Hotpoint Dishwasher - Instructions

Remove rail end pieces installed the clods on the side rails and basket put end pieces back in place. Ready for washing dishes

No repair; just replacement. Delivery was very fast.

No repairs needed, just replace the lower dishrack with 2 broken wheels with the new dishrack with the wheels already attached. Easy as A,BC or 1,2,3.

Followed the enclosed directions and the video helped a lot. My model needed a different motor mount bar than in the video but wasn't hard to figure out. From shutoff of the water, unplugging, and undoing the screws under the counter and pulling the old pump/motor and installing the new pump/motor and putting it all back took a leisurely 90 minutes. Be sure to hang onto the old plastic covers for the electric leads to reuse.

Check website, order part. Hardest part was determining which was the right part. Needed the axle--I call it the hanger. I had previously called and ordered, but only received the wheel with no way to attach it. Push the axle into the wheel. Push the axle onto the rack. Since it was new, it didn't slip right on, and had to push it hard. (However, when it snapped on, three of the other wheels and axles came off.) Had to put them back on as well. Much easier, as they were older and not as snug. Total time: Took longer to open the package than put it on.

The machine had been running sluggish for a while. Replaced the pump awhile back, but it still wasn't draining good. Then it quit draining. The solenoid is mounted on the pump, two screws and a clip on the valve door shaft come off. The new one is easy to put on. Caution: many of these appliance people say that timers are often needlessly replaced, but when I looked at the old solenoid, it looked like a meltdown had occurred. It was not worn out, it had overheated. Checked out timer and found cause. The gear on the motor shaft was partially stripped, causing drain valve to stay open too long. New timer, solenoid, pump-ten years old and never ran this good.

My machine stopped leaking after I simply massaged the door gasket and cleaned the baffles. I did order the necessary parts, they arrived in a very timely manner and the process was painless. After watching the video for both the door gasket and the tub baffles, when my machine decides to leak again, I will be ready to install new parts. As a snow bird, my machine sits idle for 6 months and I think things tend to dry out. Wonderful experience in ordering and video watching.

Key symptom: when the drain phase begins, there should be a satisfying "Thunk" from the solenoid. No Thunk=solenoid not working

When I first noticed my unit leaking I noted that the leak was dripping right in the middle. So, I went straight to this web site with my model number and the 1st part I saw was for a Gasket Insert which is a small piece that completes the sea. I received that part in 2 day and did the repair and I still had leakage. I went back on the web site and looked further and came across info for the Corner Tub Baffles. I did not even know there were there. I removed mine and it was very obvious that the original Baffles were very worn and wrapped. In addition, the unit was quite filthy. I ordered the two replacement baffles. The parts arrived in two days, did the minor repair and now I have no leaks.

The PartSelect video told me to take the end caps of the track and simply snap the old wheels off. It was easy. I popped the new wheels on, put the rack back on, and reattached the end caps. I was surprised by how simple it was to repair a major kitchen appliance.

Replaced the water-fill solenoid valve.

Pieces just snapped together. Simple an quick. Part select was wonderful in assisting.

Watched the on-line video. It was great and made the replacement job easy. Without the video, I probably would have broken the plastic end caps while trying to take them off. I highly recommend watching any available repair videos.

Removed existing gasket seal on door. Cleaned really well with a household cleaner around the gasket crease. Installed new gasket seal around door. Started with small notch in the middle of the gasket to center on top and then slowly fastened into door edge and slowly snug around bottom edge where the deal is notched and the the difficult part was to feel the seam again on the bottom to re attach seal after notch from corner. Rupert this on the other side of door.

Repair was really easy just like the repair video, but you have to lay on the floor. Unfortunately, the problem wasn't the solenoid, but the pump/motor assembly. Be sure to check the solenoid operation before replacing (making sure it is cycling). It might be the pump/motor assembly. Good luck!
