Re: Help taking front panel off my hotpoint CTD40

Thanks again for the info Jim, it’s nice and easy once you know how.

I managed to push my controls back through and they clicked back into place and while I was there managed to fix the door switch properly as well.

So all-in-all I’m happy as I’ve got a fully working machine again 🙂

Re: Help taking front panel off my hotpoint CTD85

Great – thanks for the reply. I did wonder if it just required a bit a force to take the top off, but until you know for sure you don’t want to break anything do you!? It’s always easy once you know how 🙂

Yes sorry you’re correct, I must have been reading another post about a CTD40 and then typed that by mistake 😳 I do indeed have a CTD85

The buttons have always been pushed in since I bought the machine – but they’ve always worked (and still do). It’s always been on my list of things to do but as it wasn’t urgent I’ve not gotten to it yet. But now I’ve had to fix the door switch I thought I might as well do this at the same time.

Regarding my other post – it turns out that the plastic rod that pokes the door switch isn’t going in far enough but I’m not sure why – perhaps the switch itself has become dislodged and pushed further back. I’ve fixed that temporarily by extending the plastic rod using a small hair grip!

Thanks again for the info.

Cheers

Re: My Hotpoint CTD85 won’t start

Fixing the door closed sensor solved this problem, once I got the top off the machine and could see the problem!
