I'm going through a Hotpoint dishwasher from the late 80's - model HDA
467-02WH and the water inlet fitting seems to have an odd design. The
nipple for the incoming water hose instead of being a tube, is this
half tube configuration - see attached pic. The rubber hose slides
over this half tube. It's not broken, that's the way it is. Anyone
know why it's configured this way instead of a tube?
Also, the piece has an open configuration as seen in the view of one
just like the one on mine lying on its side. Wondering why this is.

Who knows, but IMO when you get to that stage of disassebly with an
80s
vintage dishwasher, it's time to just buy a new one.

I did an even more extensive level of disassembly of an old KAid D/W
(79)... got it all back to together and it ran for two weeks. :(
Both a used on on craigslist for $50.... still running 5 years later.
