MDB7600AWW Maytag Dishwasher - Instructions

I followed the instructions and illustrations which were on your web site. They were excellent and it made the job easy.
Thanks-Tom

Removed the power scource then the torx screws around the inside door liner. Then removed the two wires from each of the two switches on the latch assy. Connected the wires to the new latch assembly and put in place. The screws around the inner door lining hold the unit in place. Easy! Easy!

First, I removed the top rack. then I removed the broken rack adjuster, which was held on by Five
Small screws. Next, I installed the new adjuster, replaced the top rack in it's proper position and ran a load of dishes.
Works like new. Easy install.

This is the 4th time the latch broke on our dishwasher. We paid someone the first time, my husband fixed it the other two times, he is out of state so I had to do it this time. I took the screws out of the door and looked inside and saw it would probably be easy. Then when I got the part and put it in, it was beyond easy. The hardest part was to take the plugs off of each side, they were a little stuck and then putting them on the new handle was easy. The door had a place where the part rested and then you put the door back together. Those screws hold in place and it was done. Run down-screws out, plugs off old, plugs on new, set in place, door together, screws in, done. Works beautifully.

Looked part up on this site, ordered at 11:00am, received it next afternoon.
Turned electric off, removed the screws on the door with a Torx screwdriver, unplugged the old assembly and installed the new one, put the screws back in and turned on the power.
I then ran a rinse to make sure everything worked.
Very simple fix.
Thanks for a very helpful website.

Replaced the door latch. This process was an easy repair
job. My wife did all the repair work while I played a round of golf! I gave her a HUG when I returned home!

I ordered the door latch assembly for our Maytag dishwasher. The part arrived earlier than promised and was easy to install. Overall, a very positive experience. The replacement only took 20-25 minutes, and I do have two pointers that might shave about five minutes of the job.

1. Interior door panel re-installation.
When you are reattaching the interior door panel, insert each of the eleven or so Torx screws and leave them all loose until they are all in. There's not a lot of slop in the door alignment, and if you tighten each screw as it goes in, the last two or three may be pretty hard to get inserted. At least that's what happened to me. So I re-loosened all the screws, re-aligned the door panel, and the last few screws went in easily. Just leave them all loose on the first pass.

2. Microswitch plug removal.
The cable plug connector fits pretty tightly on the two microswitches. I could not unplug mine by hand. I found that using needle nose pliers BETWEEN the switch and copper connector lugs really made it easier. I just slightly depressed the copper tabs, and then pulled the connector plug away from the door latch assembly.
Overall - Fast delivery and easy replacement. I'm quite satisfied.

I opened the front panel with a power screw driver and removed the latch. It had 2 plastic bumps on the handle that had broken off. The PartSelect website showed 3 views of the part so I could verify that it was the right one.

I paid $21.17 for the part and $7.49 in shipping. It arrived the next day via FedEx. It was the right part and the dishwasher was out of order for only 30 hours. The new part had the plastic bumps reinforced with steel shafts.

Good thing this company has many views of the part so you can be sure it's the right one.

Very pleased with the service.

I am 73 years old and I am the mom or female of this household. It was very simple to install and worked perfectly on completion.

Also, the lady that helped me with ordering the part was very good. Great customer service.

I replaced the old one with a new one I bought. Not exactly the same but it fit in the footprint of the old one.

The one I got wasn't exactly the same but it fit and does the job just like the one that broke.

checked video and comments of previous customers. Had to buy torque wrench so although we have lots of tools we did not have this type of wrench. No indication of it needed when we ordered part, no written instructions with part. What do people do who are not able to have a video accessible to them as they install? Without video we would have had much more difficulty.

Had tried to order replacement wheel...seems odd that since it is reported that the wheels (plastic) have frequent breakage issues that you cannot just replace it instead of a $50 larger part. It is hard to find repair people in our rural area so glad to have online access. Good service from this company, prompt arrival etc.

The repair was very easy....removed the screws around the door of the dishwasher, lifted and pulled the part right out. I just had to unplug the wires from the old hand and plug them back in to the new one. The past slid right in to place. My only problem was the screw hole for the screw that holds it in place was broken as well, so I hope only one crew will hold it.

This is the second time in 8 years that the latch handle broke. Its made of plastic and that is obviously why its not very sturdy. Since its a part that is used every time you latch the door shut to do a wash load it could have been better designed.

Using a torque screw driver I separated the back inside panel on the door from the front panel. The latch assembly was immediately freed since two of the screws that hold the top of the panel also hold the latch assembly on. I separated the left and right wires from the latch by pulling the wire sockets away from the latch. There are some detents that have to be pushed since they hold the wire caps on. removed the latch assembly and replaced it with the new assembly. Plugged the wire caps back into the new assembly, replaced the rear panel back on to the front panel and screwed all of the perimeter screws back in. when working with the latch assembly use something to keep the front and rear panels separated so that they don't snap shut while your working. Very easy repair and one that can save you a ton of money.

Installing the handle assembly was very simple. Only problem I had, the plastic clips that are part of the control panel were broken off also. (Thanks to a 2 year old Granddaughter) Rather than buy a complete control panel for $150, I used epoxy to attach the lower tabs of the handle assembly. Let it sit for 24 hours, install the door panel, which also used the upper mounting screws, and it was fixed. I ordered the part around 11:30am in Texas on a Thursday, and had the part in hand on Friday. Very impressed by the shipping time. Will use you over and over again. . . Ron Myers
