HDA100V-61WH Hotpoint Dishwasher - Instructions

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.

Original part no longer made. Substitute too small by a half an inch. Corrected the problem by removing the 4 corner wheels from the old rack and put them on the new one. Now, it fits and works perfectly.

I didn't see any obvious defects in the washer like a plugged drain or obstruction in the pump intake, so I decided to try a new lower spray tower. I loosened the tower with a large pair of channelocks (arc joint pliers) by grabbing it near the base. The unit unscrews in the normal manner, i.e. counterclockwise. Once it's loose, it can be removed by hand. Thread in the new tower and snug it down. Done. Cleaning problem solved.

I followed the video instructions..I was concerned that the end pieces would be a problem, so I purchased replacements also, but they came off with no problem - thanks to the video.They only cost about $2.50, so I will keep them in stock in case I need them at a later date.Without the video, it probably would have driven me nuts trying to figure out how to remove the end pieces, but when you see it done, it was simple.....Thanks Loads.

Remove lower covers (2) Remove broken cable. Replace with two new ones. Hook eyelet end to one side then springs then hook other eyelet to other side pull springs tight and hook to cable. Keep both sides tight doing so.
