JDB1080AWS Jenn-Air Dishwasher - Instructions

Watched the video and could not figure out why the handle was taken off and which handle was re installed before the part went in. Did none of that just took out the screws on the door removed old part and installed new one. The new part dropped into place no problem.

I watched the on-line instructional video provided by Partselect and 15-20 minutes later the dishwasher was washing dishes again. The part came within 2 days; you guys are awesome. Happy wife, happy life....

I ordered the part at 12:30 p.m. and just took regular delivery in 3-5 days. The part arrived at 8:30 a.m. the next day and had it installed in less than 15 minutes. Very convenient and easy to do.

I nearly panicked when I found out that my DW handle was broken--I couldn't even get the door to open after running it. I finally yanked on it very, very hard and it popped open so I could empty it, but then I needed to figure out what was wrong. Not wanting to call a repair man for just a broken handle, I looked on the internet and found your website. I watched the video for the handle assembly installation and decided I certainly could do that myself (after all, I'm only a woman and 66-year-old at that). I took out all of the screws holding the door panel on and saw the real problem--the pivots on the plastic handle that hangs outside of the dishwasher had broken off and all I needed was a completely new assembly. I ordered that, it arrived quickly, and I attached it after disengaging the latch, screwed the panel back on, and voila! everything worked perfectly. I didn't use your switches since mine were already attached to the wires. I just reinstalled them on the new latch in the same order they came off. I'll tell you, it was a very empowering event for me, plus saving myself an expensive service call. That video of the installation was the whole key. It allowed me to see that I could do it myself or at least try it. Thank you so much!

open door and remove screws that holds inner door panel to the outer panel assembly. remove two screws that hold latch assembly to outer door panel. unplug two switches from latch assembly and then reverse the procedure.

I found your website and the instructional video. The video was exceptional. I ordered the part and was here in two days. That blew me away. Changing out the part was just like the video and took me less than 15 minutes. The best thing, by ordering the part and following the video I saved about $100 in a service call. Best yet, I didn't have to do the dishes. Thanks!

removed 11 screws that were around the inside of the door allowing the front of the door to come loose. Then removed the door latch assembly, unhooked the wires from it, hooked the wires onto the new door latch assembly and put the latch back in place. Put the screws back in and the project was complete.

The video for this repair was helpful, and the only issue that I had was changing the electric connections that are held on tightly with plastic clips that need to be pried open for removal and replacement. MAKE SURE YOU DISCONNECT POWER AT YOUR FUSE BOX!!

Remove about 10 screws. unplug the microswitches on the handle. plug the wires onto the new handle and reinstall.

Parts select had switch and handle in stock. Shut off dishwasher. Took out 11 screws that attached the backplate to the door. Detached and re-attached plugs to switches on door switch using a screw driver as a pry bar. Re-attached back plate to door with 11 screws and turned the diswasher on. Worked.

Using the correct Torx screwdriver remove the Torx screws holding the inner door panel to the outer panel. Two of these screws also hold down the latch. Have someone hold down the outer door panel, lift the inner panel slightly and pull the latch with 2 wires attached beyond the inner panel so the wires can be removed. You will need needlenose pliers to wiggle off the 2 wire connectors from the old latch. Note from which terminals the wires were removed. Connect the wires to the new latch and reassemble in reverse order being careful not to over tighten the screws.

The video had prepared me for a VERY EASY REPAIR. Thanks. Saved me a lot of money!!!

just set the new basket in its proper place

Turned off power to dishwasher, removed screws on inside door panel, disconnected old latch & handle assembly, installed new and reassembled.

I removed the screws holding the inner door panel (approx 8), pulled it back and removed the handle unit from the inside. When I examined the unit I found a pivot/rod holder broken. I wrote down the part number and model etc. Went online and the site described the usual faults reported and ordered the part. It came in within a couple of days. Had unit repaired within 10 minutes.In this day of disposable everything, this was a delight and a surprise. I will buy other Maytag stuff just because this was so easy.
