HDA3500N10BB Hotpoint Dishwasher - Instructions

First, remove the bottom front covers (two parts four screws). Second, remove the two screws at the top that secure the dishwasher to the counter. Third, gently pull away the dishwasher from underneath the counter just far enough to see and be able to remove the door spring(s) - one on each side. Fourth, remove the existing hinge arm link(s) if not already broken off, replace with the new one(s). Note that the door hinge goes on the door (front) side of the spring and the other side fits into a groove on the door arm - the other end of the spring attaches to one of the 3 available holes on the frame at the bottom. It would be a good idea to replace the hinge arm links on both sides even if only one is broken. Make sure that the door has the right tension (each spring can be hooked in 1 of 3 holes to adjust the tension). Then gently push the dishwasher back under the counter. Finally, replace the screws under the counter and replace the covers on the bottom front. All of this should take no more than 15-20 minutes. This was an easy job!

The top rack needed to be replaced as the wheels had broken. I ordered wheels but then found that the rack had broken and the wheels would not work so I ordered a new rack. I popped off the end caps on the slides with pliers. I pulled the old rack out and slide the new rack on. Very easy. I am very happy with the way everything went with the order from Parts Select to the installation. I ordered the rack at 5 pm on the 14th and I got it on the 16th. Very good service on that and also on a return problem that they took care of.

Remove the upper rack. Removed rail end caps. Removed old broken wheels. Only reason I needed pliers was that one wheel was stuck from old age. Snapped the new wheels on easily. Installed new end cap. Good as new. Great delivery speed of parts. Thanks.

removed rack and installed new ones easily. Appreciated the fast service that I received when ordering the new parts!

simply removed broken valve and replaced with new valve, easy peasy. shipping was GREAT, Overnight. all in all a easy fix.

(1) Remove end caps of the support arms that hold the upper rack in place (use pliers if needed). (2) Pull rack completely out of dishwasher. (3) If some of the old rollers have broken off in the support arms, remove them by sliding them forward. (4) Remove rollers (or broken-off stubs) from the sides of the rack (use pliers if needed). (5) Push new rollers onto the sides of the rack (hand pressure should be sufficient). (6) Insert rack back into the support arms by sliding the new rollers into the support arms. (7) Replace end caps; make sure they are secure.

Snapped new one on in about 30 seconds

using small flat head screwdriver popped off clips at end of runners --rolled in new rack-- inserted clips back into runners

Put them on by hand - pice of cake!!

A simple do-it yourself project. All I had to do was unsnap the old broken roller and snap the new one in place. The hardest part was getting the plastic cap off the arm that the roller glides in, and even that was not difficult at all.

Easy repair. Just remove old and insert new.

First broke the tab on trying to get the sprayer arm out - had to buy replacement part. The tab to release the sprayer arm is on the BACK and can't be seen. FYI, pull the tab gently out from the back to release the sprayer arm. Problem wasn't a clogged drain. Next figured it had to be clogged in the Impeller and Seal assembly. Replaced that and realized the motor wouldn't turn. As an electronic engineer, determined the starting capacitor was defective. Found Mr. Nice GET (who owns Hotpoint) would not sell the capacitor, only the entire motor assembly for about $125.00 more or less. Found a capacitor at local motor shop with the correct value and hung it under the dishwasher. (wasn't the right package size to replace where the old one was). All is well - Finally.

Pulled out the rubber baffles. They had detiorated and lost their protective ribs which keep the water inside the dishwasher. No tools were needed, I just cleaned the area where they were located.

Placed baffles manually as instructed in the video. Easy repair with excellent on-line support and instructions.
