MDB7600AWB Maytag Dishwasher - Instructions

This problem is exactly what many others have had.
The flimsy part breaks with normal usage.
Fortunately, it was an easy fix and the replacement part was easy to identify and order.
I'm very impressed with the quick turnaround, it broke on Sunday, the part shipped Monday, and i installed it Tuesday.. Very Happy ! I only wish more online companies followed this fine example.

I looked up the part number in the "Parts Select" catalog, which was real easy to read. Order my new latch on Saturday, it arrived on my door step Monday. Installation was easy. I saved myself $100 by doing it myself.

After reading the installation instructions on line I diagnosed the solution and order the part from PartSelect. The part arrived on the promise day. Having read what others wrote about their installations, installing the part was possibly the easiest repair I have ever made. I will definitely remember PartSelect my future needs.

Removed inside of door panel by taking torq screws out around the entire door. Carefully remove electrical connectors so Door Handle and Latch Assembly with Switches can be removed and replaced. Remove screws so entire dishwasher can be slid a couple inches out from under counter. Slide back insulation a bit, remove one torq screw to replace Door Striker. Back to working again.

Finally had to remove front foot panel and laminated top. Removed screws on back and one side to get to open cabinet to insert hose properly.

Part came in record time.

Repair was intuitive, just a few screws (Torx style). New part fit perfectly. Up and running in less than 1/2 hour.

Have an identical model at another house so traded parts until it worked- turned out the control panel flat wiring was crimped & broke some circuits. Never would have guessed the problem. The new control panel (& latch) were a piece of cake to install-11 screws later.

First I took the door inner cover off to see if I can repair it, fat chance. Reinstalled door cover to be able tob use dishwasher.
Went on the internet to order new handle which is not available locally.
Went to Sears to buy special screwdriver.
Installed new handle and switch in about 10 Minutes.

With the correct torx bit, I was able to unscrew the fasteners on the inside of the dishwasher door. The handle assemble required unpluging two electrical terminals (flipped breaker switch for safety that had the dishwasher on it's circuit). To disconnect the terminals, I used a flat head screw driver to this. By placing the screw driver blade between the old assy switch and the terminal blade and then rotating the srew driver blade, the terminal blade slid out of the old assy electrical connector. Two of the screws holding the door, also held the latch assy. I switched the broken assy with the good assy, replaced the electrical wires, then replaced the screws in the door & reset the circuit breaker. Job done, The hardest part was getting past the fear of repairing my first dishwasher.

Removed Upper rack from the dishwasher.Removed five screws from the rack assembly, removed the entire rack adjuster assembly and replace with new rack adjuster assembly. Replaced same screws in place.
Placed upper rack back into dishwasher.

disconnect power supply, remove all screws from the inner door, remove power connections from handle assembly, attach power to new handle assembly, put in place, replace all screws, shut door.

The latch mounting clips built into the door were broken causing the latch not to fully release. once I got the door open the rest of the repair was very easy.
I had to take the interior panel of the door of so I could find out what parts I needed.
Once I had the parts it only took about 15 minutes to install them. The hardest thing to do was install the flimsy power tape into the connecter by hand. ( I am sure that they must make a special tool that supports the end of the tape to do this.)

A very simple repair.

Remove all screws on inside panel disconnect wires remove switch

I removed screws from the old part, took it out and replaced it with the new part. Simple! I was frustrated because I couldn't find the part I needed and all the businesses I called told me I would need to replace the whole top rack, which I thought was silly since the only thing that broke was the plastic support/wheel. I figured out what part I needed by reading repair stories from other PartSelect customers...looked at the diagrams, ordered the part, replaced it, and voilia! all is well!

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,
