HDA3600V00BB Hotpoint Dishwasher - Instructions

I followed the video instructions on removing the rack slide end cap to prevent breaking it and it was very easy to remove and replace the broken one. I attached the new rack rollers and voila we were back in business. I was about to order a new dishwasher the night before for $5oo! Thankfully the stores website wasn't working so I couldn't. I decided to look online to find out if it was easy just to replace the parts. Looks like I saved close to $500 just replacing those parts! AWESOME!!!!!Thank you for a user friendly website. It made all the difference")

Removed the white end of the top track. Pulled off the remnants of the rack roller. Slide the rack roller wheel into the track and popped the other end on the top rack (looked at the other rack rollers to see how it fit.) After that, I put the end back on the track.... Note what is the top and what is the bottom of the track end. Realizing that there is a wider area on the track to slide part of the white track end through to get it on without much effort.

Simply removed the old rack and installed the new rack.....easy as 123 ABC. Dishwasher still works fine but the bottom rack had rusted out. Not sure if this is common for this Hotpoint dishwasher as my deciding factor to order from here was that others had the same problem as me.

I watched the Part Select video, and it was very helpfull.
But next time I would watch the video before I ordered the parts, and think about other parts that I may break duing the repair.

Used Phillips screwdriver to undo brackets that keep dishwasher in place. Pulled out dishwasher from underneath the counter. Placed hinge arm in spring, hooked spring onto clip, placed hinge arm in clip. Put back dishwasher under the counter and screwed in place. Took all of 15 minutes. Saved 185.00 for service call.

I had a shut off water supply shut off shut under my sink. That is where I shut the water off for the dishwasher. I knew it was for the dishwasher ,because it follow the line, and could see it was going to the washer. Then I went down stairs in the basement. Opened my breaker box, and found the breaker for the dish washer marked dish washer, and put in the off position. When I was still up stairs I opened dish washer , and inside at the top was two screws holding the dishwasher to the counter top. Those two screws turned out to be the exact size of just about every screw I ended up having to unscrew on this machine. So at the time I was in the basement turning off breaker, I went to the garage to gather up tools. Take the two screws that are screwed to the counter top. Then I layed on the floor, and at the bottom of the dish washer there is a panel on the front of the machine with screws attaching it. Take those screws out. Pull off cover. Now get a flash light so you can see. They're adjustable feet that the dishwasher are being leveled by. Those feet need to most likely be adjusted down so you can the machine pulled out, and make it possible to work on. now you can you can pull it out, but watch that water supply line does not get hung up, or electrical wires. Once the machine is pulled out there is another cover on the front that I took off. Four screws hold it on. Now you can get to the part to fix it. The other thing you need to know is after taking off the valve and taking off the old 90 fitting. It will need cleaned up. When you put it on the new shut off valve use pipe dope or thread tape so it doesn't leak. Good luck.

Removed 3/4" rear wheels from old damaged rack and installed them on new rack. Works fine now. For the price paid for this replacement rack, wide wheels should be included as part of the replacement package.

A no brainer, replaced old fill cap with new fill cap. Delighted I was able to order the part, website is user friendly.

Replace both micro switches.

The only trick was the endcaps, which were not intuitive. I followed the instructions in the following Youtube video , which direct the user to bend a tab at the rear of the endcap back away from the front using a quarter in order to allow the endcap to rotate out of position inwards into the interior of the dishwasher. The old racks then slid easily out of the dishwasher, the new ones equally easily slid in, and then the endcaps required the tab to be bent back to allow them to rotate back into position.

TOOK THE RACK OUT OF THE BOX AND PLACED IT IN THE DISHWASHER, DONE.

Slide it into the arm until you hear it snap

Removed the end tabs from the rack and then removed the rollers one at a time.

Replaced the rollers one at a time , one side at a time, starting with the rear ones. I had to use the pliers to remove one of the rollers ( it was tight) and to dislodge the end cap brackets on the rack.

Replaced the remaining 3 rollers.

Placed the end cap brackets back on the rack and then slid the rack into place.

It works great now!

First, I read several other repair stories on the PartSelect site. The best advice I got was in how to remove the end caps. Another customer described you had to twist them to get them out. One customer had broken the end caps trying to get them out - something I definitely wanted to avoid. I twisted out the end caps, put the new rollers in, snapped them into place, and put the end caps back on. I was done in minutes and (briefly) a hero to the wife, who hates to pay for service calls!

Relatively easy. It took a bit of time to figure how to get the stops out of the end of the slider rack to be able to remove the rack and replace the rollers. I figured out you have to use needle-nose pliers to gently bend the tab on the stop (facing the rear of the diswasher) backwards and then tilting it out. Then the rack rolls right out and the replacement of the rollers was simply a matter of snapping off the old ones off the spindle, and reinstalling the new ones.

You have to be careful you don't break the tabs on the stops on the front of the rails, or you will have a rack that keeps falling out of the front when you pull it out. Be gentle with them and take your time!

Parts Direct was great, by the way, shipping and service was almost immediate! Their supply of parts is amazing!
