What a stupid design.. g'day this thing, Dishlex Dishwasher, it's got one of these handles and it's
pretty common for them to snap off. The only thing is you can't replace the little handle bit you
have to replace this whole dunno control panel face plate facade i don't know what it's called
i'll pop a link in the description of what they're called and where you can get them from
i've gone online and bought a replacement it's turned up in the post i've installed
it and it literally took about 10 minutes it's a super easy job, you can do it yourself
and i'll show you how to get it done. So remember anytime that we're doing
work with appliances make sure you've got it powered off. Open up the door of the
dishwasher you'll be able to see six phillips screws that are holding this face plate on
undo those it's still gonna be connected with this control panel and some wires in the back
but it'll be able to hang forward so you can get access to it
use a flat screwdriver just to pry this control box from the clips
and also there's a little cable tie twisty tie thing here just use some pliers to pop that off
because we're going to use that on the replacement panel then on the left hand side we've got the
power on off button there's two screws undo those and you'll be able to pop that switch off sorry
it'll stay connected to the dishwasher but we'll be able to remove the face plate
all right we're halfway through i told you this was going to be super quick
and easy we just need to now have a search for the screw that i dropped
and there it is right at the back of the dirty dishwasher
all right in a reverse order start to reconnect it so we've got that power button
we've got two screws just remember you're screwing into plastic so don't go all mr
olympia on your screwdriver just tighten it up snug we don't want to strip these things
replace that little cable tie twisty type thing and we'll deal with that later
next up we're going to reconnect that cycle selection you know all
that panel of buttons i found the easiest way is actually to try and
line it up from the front push the buttons through and you'll hear a positive click and that's when
you've got the control panel clicked into those four little tabs, two on the front, two in the back
use that little twisty tie cable tie thing just to secure those wires that are in the back behind the
panel there, now the face panel is just going to sit in place it's not going to click there so you
might just need to hold it while you replace the six screws that are holding it in place
same again just remember you're screwing into
plastic so you don't have to go super tight on these things
down below this video in the description i've got some links there that you can use to help find the
model or the make and model of your dishwasher and find the replacement part that you need
we want to check that it's all lined up so shut the door make sure the door clicks and
now let's test it out so power on at the wall, power on at the button, and perfect it works i
told you that was super easy good luck with your project i'll see you in the next video
