Hotpoint dishwasher
Fault
The detergent dispenser lid remained shut, leaving detergent in the compartment after washing.
- Assessment
- Loading obstructions were ruled out before checking the lid mechanism and testing the actuator. The fault was within the dispenser assembly.
- Work
- We fitted a replacement dispenser, seated its perimeter seal and refitted the door insulation and outer panel.
- Parts
- Detergent and rinse-aid dispenser assembly.
Checks and outcome
A wash test confirmed that the lid opened and released detergent at the correct stage. The dispenser seal and door cavity remained dry.
