ADB3500AWW Amana Dishwasher - Instructions

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.

just snapped the wheels on. It took less than 10 minutes.

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.

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.

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.

Removed inside screws from face of dishwasher, took out old latch and placed new part. Delivery on part was excellent and will do it again.

Removed the old filter and installed the new one.

Installed lower basket in 5 minutes

me i didnt do the repair my wife did and let me tell you that i was inpressed that she was able to disassemble and replace the accumulator filter with no problem by herself she followed the advice of others on this site and i want to thank everyone for making this a easy job that anyone can do themselfs

Just one of the upper rack wheels in my dishwasher was in really bad shape for some reason, eroded away so it wouldn't stay on the track, causing the rack to jam up as was pulled out or pushed in. Simply popped it off with a little twist by hand, and slide the new one in, with the help of some needle-nose pliers. Easy.

I recently noticed an unusual part protruding from the track for the upper rack. The upper track has been balky for some time. When I removed the part it was clear it was the part which contained ball bearings to make the rack slide smoothly. Since I had difficulty before with the rack stops I was familiar with how to remove the rack. When I did so I decided to replace both ball cages, all of the ball bearings and the rack stops which were broken and poorly repaired (by me). The job required no tools. Your company was helpful when I ordered the parts; the exploded drawings were easy to work with; and the minor confusion I had with my order was quickly fixed. Good Job! (both of us)

simple replacement.

Unplugged the dishwasher, removed the screws from the inside door panel. Lift out the latch assembly and gently pry the bundles of wires (white on the left, black on the right)that terminate in a plastic block, from the latch assembly with a flat bladed screwdriver. Push the plastic block on each bundle of wires onto the new latch assembly and put the new assembly in place. Replace the inner door panel and fasten down with screws. Plug dishwasher in and away you go!

I simply removed everything from the bottom on the inside of the dishwasher, required a philips and torque head bits. removed the chopper that was plastic and replaced it with the new parts that I ordered, the original seal was fine so I left it but I saved the new one so if ever needed, it's available to me. The whole process was extremely easy even though it had to be accomplished leaning over the open door and I am an extremely large man, Odd thing though was, I called 2 appliance repair companies and when I explained the symptons, they both told me it was a bad motor and it would be wiser to purchase a new dishwasher. I did my own diagnosis by taking everything encluding the chopper off and putting a piece of ducttape on the motorshaft like a flag, pushed start and then opened the door and to my amazement the flag was spinning, sooooooo, wasn't a bad motor and through further examination, I noticed the threads were stripped out of the plastic chopper, an oversight in the design from Maytag but my parts ordered from this company resolved my issue in a timely manner and expense, Even though $62 seemed a tad high for a part known to be under designed, it was much cheaper than a new dishwasher and made of metal, never to fail again, THANKS PARTS SELECT !!!!!!!! YOU SAVED MY DISHPAN HANDS !!!!!! Yip P.S. I saved their website for futher reference since my whole kitchen has Maytag appliances.

Took out old one and put new one right back in.
