ADB2500AWQ Amana Dishwasher - Instructions

I thought I'd be smart and go to Sears Parts and get the door handle with latch assembly. They had to order it, cost nearly $60.00 when I received it the handle was not part of the assembly. This really ticked me off, so I jumped on the internet, found Part Select that provided not only the handle with the assembly, but included the switches as well for half the price. Ordered it, three days later it arrived. Took less than 15 minutes to install the assembly and put the screws back in. Dishwasher is working like a charm. Thanks PartSelect for your prompt assistance with this. You've won over a new customer for future appliance repair parts.

I just replaced the purchased rack stoppers with the broken ones.

remove the old and place the new it was very easy
the part it was on time

the small plastic part that turns the dishwasher off and on when the door is shut was worn out. It was really easy to change out. I unplugged the power cord and removed the black and white wires. Put in the new switch and it was ready.

Open the door completely. Inside of the dishwasher door, remove all of the screws that hold the panel. Remove the broken Latch assembly by unplugging the two electrical wiring connections. Connect the new replacement Latch assembly to the electrical connections. Position it as it should be. Realign the panel cover and replace all the screws! [**Be careful to not "strip" the the receivers that the screws go into. I would suggest to hand tighten with a screwdriver. ]

Upon noticing that my latch was broken I removed the 10-12 torx scres from the inside of the front panel. After lifting up the inside panel, I removed the two floats from the latch assembly. I did not turn off the power at the breaker but did get a few volts in removing the float switches. When I received my parts, it took about 15 minutes to reattach the handle kit to the front panel and seal up the door. I did turn the power off at the breaker so there was no issue in stalling the wires and float switches to the handle assembly. I di order both the Latch and Latch Assembly that was shown in the picture without the latch. I was happy to see the latch already atteched to the latch assembly and I have sent the latch back for a full refund. Easy assembly and install.

turned of braker and thin removed the screws that held the frunt pannle on and unpluged the door handle switches and pluged in to new one thin placed ever thing were it belonged and put screws back in

Removed the screws that held the inside panel'this allowed teh latch assembly to be removed and allowed me remove the from the latch. I then pluged the wires in the switches on the new latch. I remounted the new latch and reinstalled the inside panel. Job complete in about 30 min!!!

Removed door facing screws, unpluged switch wires, attached wire plugs to new switches on handle and replaced screws. Finished.

Turn off electric breaker to dishwasher. Remove all star head screws from inside rim of door pannel. Disconnet electric connetions (somewhat difficult-had to use pliers)from old handle then attach to new handle set in place. Srew door panel back on. Turn electricity back on.

Popped the wheels on just like the ones that were still there and it was good to roll. Nice!

installed rack stoppers. Didn't use tub wheels but fixed old (as best I could) didn't want to spent the money for rack adjuster at this time(wheels are part of rack adjuster assembly)

The 2 harness connectors to the switches would not come off. I had to finally remove the 2 new switches from the new handle/latch assm. and plug in the old ones with the harness bables still attached to them.This worked fine and resolved the door problem. Unfortunately, I am now forced to use the old original switches while the new switches remain in the shipping box. If the old switches go out, I have no idea how to remove the connectors so I can attach them to the new switches.

To open "stuck door", with right hand around upper right top edge of door and with left hand push directly inward on handle then pull out with right hand. It is a little tricky to do, but door will open. Turn off power to dishwasher. With the right size torx driver, remove the stainless steel screws around inside perimeter of door, left, right and top. Lift out inner door, which has a clip holding some wire in middle, so can;t lift all the way off. Lift it up enough to just "lift out" door handle/switch assembly. With power OFF, grab plug connectors and pull of old handle. Mine were very tight, and kind of rocked connector down and up while pulling and came right off. Plug wires into new unit, lay in place of unit removed just alighning to two pins. Lay inner door back in place, put screws back in, and you are done. VERY easy repair.

Opened the dorr, removed the inside panel = the most time consuming part - and then exchanged the handle assembly. Then replaced the panel. Snap!
The hardest part was determining the part that I needed - the right part that did not involve repairing the/an assembly. Luckily I got the right one and two un-needed parts.

Stuff happens.
