Hi I'm Mat from eSpares.
In this video I'll be showing how to change the control board on this
Hotpoint dishwasher.
If you've seen one of our diagnosis videos and you've identified that the control board
is the problem in your machine this is how to replace it.
Safety first: Always unplug the appliance before carrying out any work.
The next thing I need to do is to loosen the lower door skin by removing the six crews on the back.
No need to remove them completely just loosen them as much as you can.
By loosening the six screws that hold the lower door skin in place
it gives me enough room to be able to remove the top control panel
How I do that is just by undoing the six crews that hold it into place.
Now i have left this screw till last
because it is keeping the two panels together.
Once I removed the last one I can lift up the door and ease the control panel away.
Just let it rest against the door making sure not to scratch the fascia.
With the control panel out of the way
if I follow this black leads you can see that it attaches to a sensor here.
Now I need to remove that before I can remove the control board.
So I'm just going to use a cloth because these edges are very sharp, do be careful.
So I can reach in and lift the sensor away.
To remove the control board from the control panel I have to undo these two screws completely
and loosen this one.
And it's worth mentioning before I loosen the last screw that behind the control board
there will be a light guide that will fall down when the control board has been released.
Remember to replace this when replacing your new control board.
Now the control board is free from the control panel
what we need to do is disconnect the electrical connections from the old board
and replace them onto the new
It's worth noting that a lot of these connections are held in place by these plastic tabs
which you have to pull away before removing the connection.
Once all the electrical connectors are connected replace your light guides into position.
And then you can re screw the control board into place.
With the board screwed into place
I next need to replace the door sensor back in the door.
Remembering to be careful of the sharp edges.
I can then refit control panel to the door and screw it all together again.
With the control panel screwed into place
I can now re secure the lower door skin.
So there we have it, one new control board fitted to this Hotpoint dishwasher.
Please note: Some of these control board when replaced
will run a test cycle when the machine is first turned on after replacement.
If you're board is one of these boards it will come with instructions telling you what to expect.
