Hotpoint Dishwasher Detergent Dispenser

The compartment that holds the detergent and rinse aid and releases them at the right point in the cycle.

Signs it has failed

• Detergent left in the tray after the wash
• The cover does not open or does not latch
• Rinse aid not being released
• A cracked or warped dispenser

Check before you buy

• Check the spray arm is not blocking the cover from opening
• Check the latch and spring for damage
• Clean old detergent from the mechanism

What replacing it fixes: if the signs above match your dishwasher and the checks point to this part, fitting a new one should clear those faults. If the symptoms continue, the cause is elsewhere (a control board, a sensor or a blocked vent or hose).

How to replace it

1. Unplug the dishwasher and open the door
2. Remove the inner door panel as the manual shows
3. Unclip or unscrew the dispenser and disconnect its wiring
4. Fit the new dispenser and reconnect
5. Refit the panel and run a test cycle

Guide steps are typical for this type of part. Layouts differ between models, so follow your own manual where it differs.

Getting the right part

Dispensers differ by shape, release type and connector. Match the part number or your model number.
