MDB6600AWW Maytag Dishwasher - Instructions

I opend the door and viewed how the latch was positioned and secured. All the SM screws along the door seal had to be removed. This unsecured the inside door skin and revealed the old latch. No additional fasteners needed to be removed.

Wires were secured with a snap-on type pole system. It took some strength to pull them off. However, I was sure to place each on the same pole of the new latch.

The new latch went into its place and was auto-centered correctly on the door fixture designed for the part. Skin was resecured ... good to go!

Unscrew 10-12 screws from back panel of door. Unplug the electrial. There were two plugs that fit very tight, Hardest part of the repair, Had to use pliers to get the dam things off. ( 2 minutes)
Plug in new handle, set in door, and replace all screws. about 10 minutes from start to finish. If you use a hand screw driver and 10 minutes.

Opened up the door and replaced the handle assembly. Fast, simple, and easy.

Took out the old basket, dropped in the new basket.

All I had to do was remove the handle from the current silverware basket (pried loose a couple of "teeth" with a pair of screw drivers) and push the handle on the new basket. Took longer to find the screwdrivers than it did to move the handle.

Thank you!

Opened door and removed 10 screws from internal door skin. Power was not off so I was careful not to come in contact with live wires. Unplugged to old door latch and plugged in new latch. The door skin was then put back in place and 10 screws were reinserted. The door was tested and would latch. A test load of dishes was inserted in the Dishwasher and the unit was tested. All worked well. Discarded the old latch.

First I removed the two screws that hold the element in place. I then pulled the element out about 3 inches and disconnected the two wires.
Connected the wires back. Replaced the two screws. Replaced the iner panel. Pluged the unit back in and it was repaired

First turn off power to dishwasher. I then got dishwasher open and removed screws on inside. I then found the broken handle and I then disconnected the wired connections from the handle and slid it out. searched for it on partselect.com . They had it in stock, I ordered it on a Saturday and received it on the following Tuesday. I installed it and it worked great. I will use this site again for any parts needed in the future.

First I turnned power off to dishwasher. I openned dishwasher and with torx screw driver removed 12 torx screws. Moved enter plastic door panel and removed plug in connectors on left and right side of old door latch assembly.Removed and in reverse order installed new assembly.Reinstalled all torx screws on enter plastic door panel and turnned power back on.Shut door and it is working like new unit..

Turn off the power. Remove all the screws from the inside panel of the door. (Actually, I left the two bottom ones - near the hinge - in to hold it in place.) The two screws at the top also hold the latch assembly so when I separated the panel from the door, it was almost fell out. I removed & replaced the assembly, using insulated pliars to do the electrical connections. The new one snaps right in where the old one came out. Lined it all back up, replaced the screws, and all was good as new. One note, if your door is dirty around the edge where it seals, it's easy to clean it while the screws are out.

Unscrewed 10 screws, upluged old part installed new one reinstalled screws. Done. . . . . .

My 13 year-old son opened the stuck shut door. He says he lifted up on the sides of the door. I wasn't home and am not interested in trying it. But after it's open, shut off the power, remove the screws holdiing the interior of the door panel on and 2 of them will free the latch. If you remove it before the new part arrives, whip out the cell phone to take a few pictures before you disconnect the wires. Installation is the reverse! Part not expensive, shipped quickly: I was imagining this whole affair would have cost much more.

I ordered the new door latch on a Monday afternoon. To my surprise the part was at my doorstep by 11am the next day. The repair was fairly simple. Just a matter of unscrewing the inside panel of the door and popping in the new handle. The fast delivery was a pleasant surprise.My dishwasher was down only one night.Thank you Part Select!

I removed the screws from the inside of the door panel. The latch was readily accessible, it was an easy replacement .It took about 10-15min to replace the latch and replace all the screws. Overall, it was a easy fix.

Remove interior door screws about a dozen or so socket head screws with variable speed drill, disconnect two leads from old part, replace with new part and re-install door. Most encouraging to see new part was redesigned in the area of part failure.
