ADB2500AWQ Amana Dishwasher - Instructions

Unscrewed door panel; replaced latch mechanism (old one was broken), including a bit of very simple wiring; screwed door panel back in place.
Dishwasher closes and runs fine now!

found the problem. took out old handle and latch assembly then replaced with the new one. straight forward, very simple.

As described it was as easy as 1-2-3, safety first, disconnect the power, unscrewed 8 screws, opened the cover, got the old broken handle out and installed the new latch handle- connect the 2 connections, turned the main disconnect and walla.

After figuring out that the problem was a broken latch, the repair was quite straightforward. You first have to remove all of the torx screws that hold the inside face of the door on. Then I labeled all the connections on the old latch assembly before disconnecting the two wires and sliding the latch assembly out. Pay attention to the orientation as it comes out and replace the new one in the same way. Hold the new latch in place as you push the inside of the door over top and then put in the screws. The new handle worked great. I think the reason the old one broke was we thought you had to hold down the handle to close the door and that put strain on it. Just push the door closed without touching the handle and I bet that it will last longer.

1. Open the dishwasher door. Remove the inside panel of the dishwasher door and expose the Handle and Latch assembly.
2. Order "Handle & Latch Assembly Complete with Switches" from partselect.com
3. Received the part 3 days later.
4. Replace the part.
5. Done.

We removed all the screws (hex head) around the inside door. Removed the latch assembly, and unhooked the two switches. (turn off curcuit breaker first!)

found the serial # and model # on the side of the door and searched partselect for the part. very easy website, ordered and recieved in just a few days.

We replaced the part, plugged it back in, and screwed the door back together. turned on the curcuit breaker and it works again.

The part is plastic, and think it cracked from letting the door shut hard on its own.. instead of closing softly.

good luck with your repairs.

I first opened my dishwasher by removing the 11 nut screws and took the part out. The website had a nice video to watch to see the process on how to replace this part. After getting the part out by just unplugging the part from the wires, I went to your website and ordered the part. The pictures helped me see the exact part that I needed to ordered. I am a visual person, so this was very helpful.
It only took 3 days for the part to arrive and then I replaced the part within 15 minutes by the instruction from the video that I watched earlier. If I would had to call a repair person, it would have cost me over $80. This part including shipping was under $35. Thank you.

Removed torx head screws around inside of door. This allows you to open the top of the door enough to access and remove the latch. The latch itself is not fastened to anything, just held in by pressure of the door panels. The wires on my latch were extremely difficult to remove and if you're not careful you will get a shock, so don't touch them both at the same time. Put in new latch, re-install screws. Worked perfectly.

It was fairly easy to fix the dishwasher handle just little time consuming taking in side cover off to get to it. One thing I can say is the lady I dealt with was very kind, and very helpful. It only took like three days to get here I only paid regular shipping. Beats having to buy new dishwasher. Thank you

Removed the 12 screws on the backside of the door. Raised the inner door up, took the handle assembly out, removed the switch wires then reversed the process to reinstall.
No problems, worked good

This was the easiest repair I have ever done! Ordered in a few mins, and received the very next day. Opened the box and installed the two wheels - Done. That was Easy! Thank you so much for such quick service! Most definitely will use your company again in the future.

1. Turned off power. 2. Unscrewed ten screws holding inside of door in place. 3. Lifted cover enough to access latch - helpful to have someone to hold this while doing the job. 4. Disconnected old latch assembly on each side - this was the hardest part as they were stiff and needed to be pulled hard. 5. Attached new latch assembly. 6. Screwed door panel back on. 7. Switched power back on. So easy and saved about $150. This stuff is NOT HARD and I just wish more people had the gumption to do repairs themselves instead of paying 'experts' to do exactly the same job.

PartSelect.com was a life saver!! We have a 5+ year old dishwasher and it was slammed shut too hard and the latch/handle assembly broke. I was worried sick that I wasn't going to be able to find a replacement for such an old washer and that I was going to have to buy a new one. PartSelect made it easy to find the exact assembly I needed and it was here in a couple days!! Great website and service!!

Removed inner panel on the door, went online and determined the part I needed and ordered the part on Thursday evening, part was shipped on Friday, received the part and installed on Saturday. Very pleased.

remove all the screws along inside of the door. seperate the inner and outer door. remove the electric terminals. pull out old door latch. put electric terminals on new part. reattached. replace inner door and screw back down.
