ADB1500AWW - Instructions

In the back of the dishwasher there are two docking stations for the racks to go into for the water to flow to the rack spinners. These stations have rubber gaskets and flaps in the back that totally wear out. Where our problem was mostly the top rack at first I just replaced the top one and the dishes got cleaner but not perfect. So then I ordered the second one and replaced that one too, now the dishes are perfectly clean all the time!! I would suggest replacing both at the sam time. Just pull off the old part and snap the new part into place. No tools needed. Have to remove the top rack to replace that one. The bottom one could be replaced with the rack pulled out. Thank goodness for Parts select!! This has been the worst dishwasher ever and I have replaced so many parts throught Parts Select. My $189 dishwasher I had before this high end dishwasher was much better-- I know why Maytag got bought out--poor quality!

Removed the Handle Assembly. I did not have a model number tag on the dishwasher so I found a whirlpool assembly that was looked like the part I removed. When the part arrived I noticed that it had a steel rod at the pivot point not like that one that I removed that had plastic pivots. During installion I had trouble removing the wiring connectors from the old switch. I removed the connections with a pair of needle nose pliers. Everything was easily removed with phillips and star screwdrivers.

Had to remove all screws from inside door. just slide it out of the way. The latch will already be unscrewed as the door screws hold it in place. The hardest part was the wire plugs leading to the 2 switches would not come off. I had to break both old switches to get the plug out. After that it was simple. I did not have to turn the power off to do the repair, but I would recommend it to a novice.

After removing the inner door cover, the latch assembly was just about hanging in by the two wire
junctions which I opened by inserting a large flat
blade screw driver and giving it a little twist.
A very simple repair job, and I saved the minimum
$100. above the parts cost that a repairman would
have billed.

remove screws on inside of door to take off inside panel. Top two middle screws also secure handle. Make sure breaker is off, black wires are hot if washer turned on. Pull wire connectors off old handle and attach to new. Replace screws.

Removed the old hinge mechanism with that special head screwdriver(forgot name) and had to remove all the screws attaching the inner panel of door and open panel to get to handle mechanism. Removed the two plug in wires and reattached new handle mechanism. Put all the screws back in and walla, done.

All I had to do was litterally snap the wheels into place..it was so easy and so cheap!

Unscrewed all the torx screws that attached inner door panel to outer door panel. Pulled out handle which which had contacts (?) that were attached to two wire leads (Black and White). These leads were hard to remove from the terminal ends coming off the contacts. I had to break the old contacts to get them off. Hooked up the new handle which had new contacts to the wire leads, installed the screws back in all the way around, and done. Very easy.

Unscrewed the dozen or so hex bolts around the inside of the dishwasher door. Popped out the handle & latch assembly. Disconnected the safety switch leads. Then connected in the new latch and closed it all up. Longest time was finding the right size hex wrench to diassemble the door. The new latch & handle are much better constructed. Critical pivot is now metal reinforced instead of just plastic. This should have been a recall item, there is no way the old handle would last too long.

Dis-connected power to dishwasher. Removed torx screws holding inside cover of door. Lifted door cover, unpluged wires from micro switches on handle (this proved to be somewhat difficult pliers needed). Removed broken handle assembly and replaced with the new one. Re-installed door cover.
The wife is happy again!

My husband done this repair in a matter of 10 minutes. We could not be happier. Ten dollars, thats including shipping and she was done. If we would have got a Maytag repair man. Lets just say it would have been cheaper to by a new dishwasher. Thanks I give your company an A+ Sheryl.

First of all, Partselect is definately has the cheapest price and quickest processing and shipping that I found. No im not getting paid for this. Anyway, Be sure to kill all power. Pulled the inside cover off, carefully not pulling wires apart. The handle assembly fell to pieces. There are two wire harnesses (minor current)that you need to disconnect and reconnect to new switches. Align mounting holes and insert screws. Replace inside panel and screw tightly and fix is complete.

Flimsy design = busted handle. Really it was super easy to replace, anyone could have done it.

I removed the inside door panel, then removed the latch assembly. Called your co., ordered the latch. and 3 days later the package with the latch arrived. It took about 10-15 minutes to put the latch in and replace the door panel.

was about the easiest job i ever completed. took longer to open package then to replace handle and latch assy
