Frequently Asked Questions
•How do I access the dryer's control board?
Typically, you'll need to remove the dryer's top panel. This often involves removing screws from the back of the dryer. Be sure to unplug the dryer before accessing any internal components.
•What type of door switch should I order as a replacement?
You'll need to find the correct part number for your specific Hotpoint dryer model. You can usually find this information on the dryer's model and serial number tag, often located inside the door or on the back of the machine. Search for this part number on appliance parts websites.
•If the light works intermittently, what does that indicate?
Intermittent operation often points to a loose connection or a partially failing door switch. Carefully inspect the wiring and connections to the switch. Replace the switch if the problem persists.
