Re: Hotpoint DF62 how to replace detergent dispenser catch?

Thanks for your help, turns out it was the spring doh! I stand corrected. The spring looked fine, but I put the new one in when it arrived with the clip and it turns out the old one was best.
So thanks for all your help and the washer is washering for another 12 years (I live in hope!)

Re: Hotpoint DF62 how to replace detergent dispenser catch?

Ooops latch/catch – not a promising start ha ha.

I have ordered the part and am looking forward to seeing if I can do it myself! Failing that the shop down the road will come out for £65 but I’d rather not pay that.

thanks for your help so far, any other tips gratefully received.

Re: Hotpoint DF62 how to replace detergent dispenser catch?

No the spring is fine, it is the catch that holds the drawer shut. In the picture of the replacement, it is the blue part. The catch on the lid is fine it is the catch on the part that is fixed in the dispenser.
thanks

Re: Hotpoint DF62 how to replace detergent dispenser catch?

Ha ha oh i am not that bad, that I have to clear out every week due to the many things i miss (hairbands, very small toy guns etc), and I can fix things where i can see what ought to go where, or where i have some instructions.

I might order the part, have a go very carefully and see how I get on. I’ll ask the shop down the road how much they would charge first, but am assuming its goign to be lots!

Could you advise how you go about replacing the clip?

thanks for all your guidance

Re: Hotpoint DF62 how to replace detergent dispenser catch?

Ok thank you, I will have to decide then whether to get someone to fix it or whether to order in that part. There is a repair shop nearby so I can give them a call and see how much they would charge me.
How hard do you think it would be to change the latch? I can often fix stuff that breaks but I am no mechanic!
thanks for your help, it is very kind.

Re: Hotpoint DF62 how to replace detergent dispenser catch?

Thank you. It is the catch that is broken, the spring is still ok. If it is fiddly then perhaps I would be better off getting the whole dispenser and replacing that – I have had the washer for many years (12 or more) so it’s likely other parts in the dispenser might be on the edge – perhaps replacing the whole thing is better/easier.
I have seen it for £25 at casa parts

This will be my first go at fixing something myself.. argh
thanks
