• Ensure MAINS PLUG is removed FIRST. On Hoover HDV6, remove 3 screws at back fascia, retaining chipboard top-cover. Slide out cover and then slide two guide rails off fixed bolts and set all aside. Remove timer dial on front fascia (using rubber glove or similar to get a grip!) -- straight pull. Remove top fixing screws (2) to front fascia. Fascia is now held by plastic tabs in 10mm horizontal slots. Gently nudge fascia to the right to lift from slots. Fascia then hangs by wiring, but switches and electricals can be accessed. Take note of positions for two wires on On/Off switch (there's a black side and a white side). Switch is held in position by two thin black plastic wing-type tabs that open when switch is pressed into housing. Gripping switch, use thin-blade screwdriver or similar to press wings inwards on one tab while gently pulling backwards. Press wings inwards on opposite tab, while still tugging, and switch should then come away. When inserting new switch, press in and ensure wing tabs have opened and switch is secure. Replace wires to appropriate terminals. Re-assemble in reverse order. By d4mac - Lincolnshire - 09 August 2011
