ADB3500AWS Amana Dishwasher - Instructions

Simple repair. First and most important: Turn off the power at the circuit breaker panel. Next, remove 8-9 torx head screws holding the inside panel on the door. Pull the handle assy. away from the door and unplug the two electrical plugs from the handle. Mark or remember which side each goes on. Plug the two electrical plugs into the new handle assy. and place in back into it's position in the door and reassemble the door panel. Turn the power back on at the breaker box.

Unfortunately I’d done this repair before. It seems that this particular part has cheap plastic components inside and seems wear out every 2 or 3 years. The fortunate thing is PartSelect stocks this part, ships it quickly and it’s an easy repair. Just take the screws out of the inner door liner and pull out the latch, disconnect the wires and reconnect to the replacement and screw everything back like it was. Took me 10 minutes.

After prying open the door i removed the inner skin cover which did provide me access to the latch assy,2 additional screws and it was fixed.

This appears to be a problem with this apliance since it has done this before while under warranty

I installed additional wheels that had broken off. This was on my elderly mother's dishwasher in Iowa. I was visiting from California for a week when I discovered it was broken. I worried about getting the parts because I was not familiar with the area. PartSelect saved me by getting the parts delivered before I flew back to California. It was really great. Thanks,

i deinstalled everything in the ground of washer so that i saw the e motor
take of the part from the motor and install your new part
and reinstalled everything

Remove all screws on inside panel disconnect wires remove switch

After truning off the power, I removed the inside door panel by unscrewing the 11 screws. Next unplugged the latch assembly from the two electrical connections. Connected the two electrical connection to the new part and reinstalled the inside door panel. The only difficulty was that the first part I ordered did not have a handle as part of the assembly.

Before starting the job, I looked at the information provided from others who had the same problem and had successfully installed the new part. The information provided was the reason I chose your company to purchase the part. THANK YOU!
1. Turned off power
2. Removed screws holding inside of door.
3. Disconnected and removed old part.
4. Removed dishwasher door handle and attached to new part.
5. Connected new part and positioned it in the handle insert. (Be sure the small bars holding it together are firmly in place.)
6. Reattached the door.
Here is the problem: I did not realize I also needed a new door handle as I assumed it would be attached to the new door latch assembly. My door handle is cracked and some of the plastic has broken away. I will now have to order the new handle and pay the cost of shipping that would have certainly been less if I had ordered it in the first place.

Added toe panel and insulating strip.

Ordered the latch part Friday A.M., Saturday afternoon it arrived. My wife repaired it while I supervised. (She doesn't have a tool belt yet). It took longer to pry off the 2 switch connectors than it took to remove and replace all the screws. They were on there pretty good, so we used extra care. Now she's my "Handygirl". Works great. The price was lower than I could find locally too. Thanks for great service.

Internal door panel must be completely removed taking care to uncouple all electrical connectiones as you go. Some connections can be very stubborn so take care and be sure to cut all power to the appliance before starting. Replacing the handle and latch from this point is very easy.

I just popped it off and replaced the new part. Only had 1 broken wheel but bought 4 just to have.

the person at part select i spoke to by phone was helpful. the shipping was very fast. i did not need the sound seal, however, as one was already attached to the toe panel. i could not tell this from the pictures online, nor did the customer service rep know this. also, i did not need the screws as the part just snapped in. my dishwasher is stainless steel and the toe panel is black but still looks good.

unsnapped the broken piece from the under side of the top rack; assembled new washer arm and snapped back in place under the top rack.

Take rack out of box, put in dishwasher. Easy
Part arrived on time, would use this website again.
