I have a hotpoint HDA2000G00WW built in dishwasher. The dishwasher does not run unless you press the plastic door under the latch area. I have adjusted the latch and that does not resolve the problem. I notice that the top three screws that hold the plastic eschucion are no longer holding as the plastic screw areas have broken on the eschucion. Do I need to replace the eschucion or can it be tightened some other way?

Check your air gap on your kitchen sink. If equipped, you will most likely find it clogged. Pull off the metal cap, then unscrew the white or clear cap. You should find your clog there. Replace both caps and remember to pre-rinse the dishes better before loading.

it can be the 10A fuse located in the back of the machine. but.... storage is kind of a problem with determining what is wrong with it.
Mouse can have chewed the wires, moisture can have rusted or corroded some components.
Check the internal fuse first and please check all wiring fo damage.

This is a bad control board that if replaced will only repeat in a short time .My advice is to contact the manufacturer and complain,you have the right as a consumer to do so.
