Dale K Dunnellon , FL September 18, 2022 Appliance: Model GE HOTPOINT HDA200X-71BA Dishwasher timer would freeze and continue whatever cycle point it was at indefinitely or instead of turning off when cycle complete it would start again ALWAYS REMOVE THE APPLIANCE FROM POWER SOURCE BEFORE WORKING ON IT! [Timer Part No. 904] Note that I re-used the CAM TIMER Part 853, which is attached to the Timer; I inspected it before ordering parts and it seemed in good shape.. [Vent Pad Part No. 820 - this styrofoam part broke when I separated the inner/outer door panels making it difficult to understand where it fits; pay attention to this when you separate the door panels so that you can understand where it fits - I would buy this and have it handy for any time the door panels must be separated as it is easily broken]. Replace the timer. 7 screws to remove the inner door panel... 2 screws to remove the timer... There is a "Timer Cover", a flimsy piece of plastic [Part No. 896 - I did not need a new one] that needs to be let loose from the timer; it is held in place by a plastic friction push pin: pry/wiggle it out with needle nose pliers, try to grasp it as close to the timer body as possible to avoid breaking it (mine came out but if broken probably can find a replacement at a hardware store). The timer has three electric connections: (1) one push-on green ground wire attached to the timer body. (2) The Timer Motor has a plastic shroud attached to the motor that the connector snaps into - carefully pry the shroud up and slip the connector out. (3) A push-in 12-"pin" connector has a release, somewhat hidden, on the lower end of it. OUT OF SEQUENCE: the (timer) knob on the outer door panel face simply pulls out - pull the knob off before separating the inner/outer door panels. ALSO OUT OF SEQUENCE: the door latch assembly has a plastic knob on it; the knob is held on by one small phillips screw which is accessed at the bottom of the knob - it is hidden in an access hole in the bottom of the knob.
