Welcome to BuySpares

In this video we will show you how to replace a control module on Hotpoint dishwasher.

IMPORTANT: BEFORE REPLACING A PART IN ANY ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE, YOU MUST ENSURE THAT THE APPLIANCE IS FIRST UNPLUGGED FROM THE MAINS.

If you have a faulty or damage control module you need to replace it, be aware when working on dishwashers some edges of panels are very sharp, so do be careful when handling.

Loosen the door outer panel by partially unscrewing these screws.

Remove the fascia panel by taking out its fixing screws.

Reach in and carefully unclip the sensor from the inner door skin and fit the new one in position, remove the module screws and lift off the module and light guide.

Transfer the connectors from the old module, fit the light guide and module onto the new fascia.

Finally tighten the lower door panel before testing the dishwasher.
