MDB7600AWS Maytag Dishwasher - Instructions

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

Removed the 11 tork screws,exposed the door latching assembly.Disconnected the wires from the micro switches (2 ea).Replaced the broken latching assembly, Installed new unit & re-attached wires to micro switches.Re-attached door panel and ran dishwasher. Very easy repair

after a couple of shocking moments with my dishwasher, I found that I couldn't detach the electrical wiring plugs from the exisitng broke unit, attached to the door to install the new. I ended up carefully removing the plug ins from the replacement part and and repeating the steps with the broke part, then attaching the old wiring to the new latch. Tada! It worked!

Great Success!

I watched the video on the website and then followed the tips and it went right in. I usually mess around and make it harder than it needs to be, but the whole process went very smooth.

Purchased the switsh and handle assembly from parts direct. received it in two days installed it in about 10 minutes. Dishwasher works fine now. Thanks, Marlon V. Columbia, md.

plugged it in

The repair could not have gone any better, very happy with the new latch and the ease of installing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Probably from hanging on a tall item as the upper rack was pulled out. One of the retaining tabs was broken and the rotating arm would not stay in place.

We have a black dishwasher. The old black latch handle was broken, so I couldn't reuse it. But the only colors available for the new assembly were white and bisque. But the bisque handle isn't too objectionable.

Read the reviews before ordering the part, when it arrived I shut off the circuit breaker, took the screws out ( 11 ) lifted up the inner panel and placed a book between the panel and door which gave me an opening of about 3". which is all you need to remove the handle from the door, disconnected the two wire connectors, and installed the new handle, flipped the breaker and bingo, done. My wife was in the other room for about twelve minutes, when she came out I told her the dishwasher was fixed, she said no way. The part was priced well, delivery time was unbelieveable, 2 days, saved me a lot of money, I was thinking about buying a new dishwasher, glad I didn't. Thanks you guys. T.D. Tennessee

Replacing the handle went smoothly. Only problem was of my own making when I closed the door after the inside panel was loose. The door locked closed and I broke the latch trying to open the door. So I replaced the complete door latch assembly and the handle.

removed door cover, removed latch and replaced latch
