Hotpoint HAFC 2B 26 UK Dishwasher Salt Box Seal Is Leaking
Hi Paul, I have a Hotpoint HAFC 2B 26 UK Dishwasher and the salt box seal seems to be leaking. The cap comes off but I cannot get purchase on the seat to turn it with a view to reaching the seal. Your video on a hotpoint pump helped me to dismantle the washer to check it out. Pipes seem ok. I can buy a wrench to remove the cap but is there something for the seat? The seal is on order im happy to buy the tool.cheers

Hi Brendan,
Thanks for your question regarding your Hotpoint HAFC 2B 26 UK Dishwasher and I'm glad to help you sort this out.
If the seal you're referring to is the one located below the large nut underneath the salt filter cap, I'd recommend using large plumber's grips to handle it. They should give you enough leverage and grip to work with that component safely.
If you're not entirely sure which part is causing the issue, the best approach is to check the exploded diagrams for your model. These will show you exactly where each component sits and help you identify the problematic part number. Once you've pinpointed it, send me that part number and I can give you more targeted advice.
A short video would also be really helpful. If you're able to upload something to YouTube and send me the link, I'll be able to see the issue clearly and give you more specific guidance on how to tackle it.
I hope the diagrams point you in the right direction. Don't hesitate to get back in touch if you need any further assistance—I'm here to help.
Thanks,
Paul
