HTDP120ED0WW Hotpoint Dryer - Instructions

Unplugged the dryer. Removed the top hood with a phillips screwdriver. Twisted out the old starter. Unplugged the connectors on the starter (they were not in the same location as the new starter but were numbered so I kept the numbers consistent. Put the new starter in and plugged in the connectors. Plugged in the machine - hit the "on" button and viola! Easy cheesy lemon squeezy.

Had to replace the front air duct assembly, Front Drum Bearing, both Drum Bearing slides-white and both Bearing Slides. Googled how to repair loud noise. Followed video and found trouble in 5 minutes Ordered parts from PartSelect.com as required on video to fix. When parts arrived went back to PartSelect video followed instruction how to repair and fixed with new parts in less than 30 minutes.

Followed the Part Select video instructions which made the repair really easy!! Thanks for a job well done! ALSO.. the drum wobble was not caused by worn slides and felt. There are three screws holding the drum axle flange. Two of them fell out leaving the drum to flop about as it rotated. So we scavenged some screws from elsewhere on the dryer and problem solved. Once again.. thanks to Part Select for great instructional videos and great customer service ordering parts.

Very easy to install, snaps right in.

The part was shipped quickly and I received it within the week. I was afraid that because it is an older dryer the new handle would not be compatible, but it was! It installed easily, it only took a few seconds to clip it in and now it's as good as new!

I tried replacing just bearing slides previously, but because I ignored the squeel too long, the drum wore through the bearing and new slides wouldn't stay in place, so I did this job twice. Open door, two Philips screws hold front edge of top to front panel (not clips to pry like somemodels). Lift top panel up to maneuver the tabs from control panel slots. Set top panel aside. Two more screws accessed from inside hold front panel top to side panels. Once they're out, lean front panel against something to keep wires from pulling. Pop bearing collar out with your fingers or a flat screw driver, top edge out first. Put new one in, replace tabs (4 of them) while your at it. Assemble in reverse order. Lesson learns...check those sacrificial slides after 8 years, spend te bucks to replace, and don't ignore the squeek sound or you'll have to replace the bearing as well.

a turnkey operation. with no negatives. i maybe should have gotten new felt. maybe next time.

Open dryer door and remove two screws under top. Lift top up and towards you to remove from rear tabs. Then remove two screws holding the front door panel on, they are up high on either side of the drumdrum. Hold drum up and pull front panel top towards you. Now you can remove the old bearing assembly by unsnapping it from door panel. Install new unit by snapping it in place but be shure to put lower tabs of bearing in to lower unit first then snap into place. Put green slides on top and white slides on the sides of bearing unit and you are ready to reassemble the dryer, but be careful to hold up the drum when pushing the door panel back into place so as to not damage the bearing.

UNPLUG THE DRYED BEFORE YOU START ANY REPAIRS!!Removed the front panel of the dryer by taking out the 2 phillips head screws located inside the door panel, raised the top section of the dryer and removed it. Then removed the 2 phillips head screws from the front panel, located about an inch below the front top corners of the front panel by raising up slightly on the drum and pulling forward on the panel. Removed the front panel and was careful not to confuse the wires connected to the door switch and light, then removed them from the plugs and removed the panel. Then, romoved the light located at the top center just above the door opening and carefully removed the Front Drum Bearing from the front panel. Installed the new slides on the new Front Drum Bearing and snapped it back into place on the front panel. Replaced the light bulb and front panel of dryer and the top panel of dryer. Spun the drum by hand to make sure there was no rubbing or dragging. Plugged the dryer back into the wall plug and started the dryer. Worked GREAT! Very easy installation in very little time. Only took about 15 to 20 minutes to complete.

Followed written and video on repair.

First I found my dryer on utube and watched the troubleshooting video. I then used your parts manual to find and order my parts. Finally. I used your repair video to install them. My dryer is like new. Piece of cake. Many thanks

New handle popped on easily. After 2 weeks the replacement handle just broke.

inserted the latch into the opening in the front face of the dryer

I used these two videos to help me clean the inside of the machine, then change the drive belt.

We had to remove the top of the dryer in order to open the front panel. The bearing was located on the front panel and was relatively easy to replace. No more squeaking!
