Hi,could you tell me how to remove the top from a hotpoint HV7L130, preferably without breaking it, its got me beat, thanks.

there is two screws at the back top each side remove them then lft slightly and with the heel of your hand hit it forward you will find it will move forward and lift off.

Could be the drum retaining spring on top of the drum under the cover, they have a habit of breaking on Hotpoints.

Hi,


Remove the top cover, and release the door catch from inside the washer, you will probably need a screwdriver or similar to do do this.You will need to replace the door catch and spring, and possibly the door lock, as it may break when you force the door open.



Thank you !!

Hi, there is a tub seal (WH02X10032) that can be replaced, however, the tub nut generally requires the GE tool to remove. The nut is hex shaped, but is made of a pretty soft alloy so it can break if you use a regular wrench. Once the tub is out, you may also find that you need a new tub nut and split ring.

If this is a Hotpoint.You should just be able to pull it up and out. Sometimes they stick. Usually you can just reach in and put your fingers underneath on opposite sides and pull up and they will come out. If they are stuck bad you may need a special tool to get it out without breaking it but that is rare.

Undo screws at the rear of the top cover, and push and lift top at the same time.
