ADB2500AWS Amana Dishwasher - Instructions
Keep searches simple. Use keywords, e.g. "leaking", "pump", "broken" or "fit".
Themounting brackets were broken and everytime you opened the dishwasher the entire unit would come with the door
I did not receive any instructions -- removed the screws from the unit - along the side - the big discovery was removing the black lining and finding additional screws to loosen. These are probably the only ones I needed to remove.Raised the feet on the dishwasher and then placed the new brackets. Re tightened the screws and I was the hero with my wife.Thanks Gene

rinse water very dirty leaving crud on dishes
I first ran a cycle of clear glass to verify that there was something wrong. I pulled an exploded parts diagram off the internet to see what parts there were and to give me an idea how everything came apart. I slowly took piece by piece< keeping all screws seperated with the part they belonged with. I set the parts in the order they came out so I knew what way they would have to be returned to the machine. I cleaned and inspected all parts to ensure they were in working order. When I removed the accumulator filter I noticed all the screens were caked with what appeared to be soap scum. I then noticed one of the screens was tore away from the filters body about a half inch long. I decided to order the part(which was a sunday). The part was on my door step by tuesday morning( with standard shipping). I had the part reinstalled in 10 minutes. The hardest part of the whole job was getting all the slats on the filter to line up with the ones on the cover to be screwed onto it. They need to be lined up or the screws will not go in properly, which would be a whole different bag of worms. The job was seriously simple and the ease of ordering and receiving the part made it that much better. Thank you for being a great service to the service industry.

Door no longer latches; auto shut off would not engage
This was so simple. I took the screws out with the Torx Bit. This allows you to open the inside of the door. You'll see the wires and the back of the handle. **Be Sure to note which side the wires hook up to. I wasn't paying enough attention and had to figure out where the black and the white wires went after the fact.** Then, simply remove entire "T" shaped handle assembly. The new assembly comes with white wire covers with black backs, shaped like a rectangle. There are two prongs on each that need to be squeezed and gently rocked back and forth- not enough to break them- until it pops off. Then replace with the white. Replace with new. ** The handle will NOT line up on the outside until the entire proess is done, and you close the door so don't waste your time trying to figure out why!** Replace screws around the interior door and close. Easy breezy, it only took about 15 minutes, including time to run to the tool box a couple times.

dishwasher leaking
very simple. I unscrewed the plastic surface of the dishwasher door, took out the old foam pad and put in the new one. It stopped the leak. A very inexpensive and very simple way to fix the problem.

handle broke and I had a hard time to open the door.
Used a phillips head screwdriver and removed all of the screws on the inside of the door. Once I removed the panel the latch was free and I use the pliers to unplug the wires. I put the wires on the new handle and latch assembly, put it back in place, put the panel back and screwed it back down. Piece of cake ,only took about 5 to 10 minutes.

Needed to change panel over to SS to match frig
Tried to follow directions on PS website. Two mentioned job was easier if door springs were disconnected. Mine were enclosed so it made the job really tuff. First was that other posters didn't mention that you had to take all the controls off the top piece. Further, didn't mention that you HAD to do that to get to two additional screws beneath controls that hold the front panel on. When all the screws are removed, then the next major problem is sliding the old panel off the spring loaded arms. This can't be done without severely bending the bottom curled edge to let you pull it off the two spring loaded arms. I did this with a small screw driver to bend the lip up first, then took bent needle nose pliers and "peeled" the sheet metal away from the spring loaded arm. Then I could pull panel off the arms. Then the biggest problem came when trying to put new panel on both arms which of course are spring loaded and wanted to flip back to vertical at the slighted twitch in you process. I finally got it on the arms. Then had to put controls back together...and discovered that ribbon connector to front control panel had come loose from control box inside. Used both hands with thumbs and index fingers to gently push ribbon back into box. Worked ok. After putting all back together, dishwasher worked ok so ribbon connector problem was overcome. Unless a person can find an easy way to disconnect the door springs, this is not a job for a rookie DIYer.

Dishes weren't coming clean cause the water wasn't staying hot.
To be honest it was a very easy repair it actually took longer to disconnect and remove the dish washer from the cabinet than it did to install the heating element. Be sure to have towels ready cause when you tip the dish washer on its front to remove and re install the heating element water will leak out on to the floor.
