MDB7600AWW Maytag Dishwasher - Instructions

1) Unscrewed all of the door screws. They had a star head on them but I was able to get them off with an allen wrench.
2) Unplugged the broken Latch Assembly.
3) Plugged in the new assembly
4) Screwed the door back together.

took necessary steps to remove handle that needed to be replaced. screws that needed to be removed. placed new part in and connected the necessary wires.

Removed screws holding the front and back of dishwasher door. Disconnected two (2) connectors from old latch assembly, connected to new latch, screwed together front and back of the door. Done!

All screws are on the inside of the dishwasher.Not a good place when the washer is closed and the handle breaks.Had to take a box cutter and remove some plastic in the handle area to be able to remove broken handle and open dish washer.Once open this repair is a piece of cake.2 wires and a hand full of screws.

I removed the screws on the interior door cover plate, pulled the cover plate back which exposes the latch switch. I then pulled the two electric connectors off the switch, swapped out new switch, reconnected electric and put the screws back in. Simple repair which took not more than 15 minutes and solved the problem.

It's not much of a story. Just discarded the split basket and replaced it with the new one. I was really impressed with the short amount of time before it arrived

The latch that opens the door to the diswasher was broken. It became difficult to open the dishwasher door.

A quick search on the internet using the machine make and model took me to Partselect.com. Another quick seach of the exploded views of my dishwasher gave me the part number and a few more clicks had it on order.

I recieved the part buy the end of the week. and had it installed within 15 to 20 minutes and I was up and running.

What a deal!!! Thanks

So the door failed one fine evening and blew water and the door open. Come to find out the latching mechanism had failed due to stress cracks. The last sterilization cycle seems to do the failed part in totally to the point if failed on the next wash cycle.

So 12 screws later and a new door latch assembly I have a working Maytag once again.

Steps are:

1.Unplug dishwasher of AC supply

2.Lower front door 45 degrees down.

3.Remove 5 screws on the top of door assembly

4.Remove next lower 4 screws mid door assembly. Leaving the lowest screws in place.

5.Separate front door assembly from inter shell of door.

6.Grab door latch assembly and disconnect one switch at a time. Replace one switch connector at a time to the new latch assembly.

7.You must keep in mind that the switches have a locking connector so use a very fine screw driver to disengage the lock in the center of the plug.

8.Once you have swaped out of old latch reassemble in reverse order.

And your done! ?

I open the door and removed 11 scews. I than removed the inside of the door to access the latch. I pulled the two wire clips and remove the latch. Place the new latch in the slots and pushed the wire clips back on. I than replaced the back panel and drove the screws back in.

The funny thing is at first I called a local appiance dealer here in town to get the part. After two weeks of waiting and no return call. I notified them to forget the order. I went on line and found this web site. Within three days I had my part at a better price than I was qouted by the appliance store.

Removed the eight screws holding the front panel on the door, then separated the panel from the door assembly. Removed the old broken latch and replaced with the new one, then put the panel back on door assembly.

Pried door open. First ordered the wrong part...latch assembly with no handle. Reordered proper part and installed it in no time. Ordered regular shipping (cheapest) and in both instances parts were there in two days via Fed Ex. Very quick getting the parts to me.
Removed half of the screws on inside of door and used pliers to unhook assembly from the two power connectors and then popped new one in place by hand. All repairs should be this easy. I will use this company again for all appliance parts needed.

Went to partselect.com and located a replacement silverware basket. Was easy to locate and the order process was easy. The new silverware basket arrived within the week, did not use any special delivery options. Great experience!

I opened up the dishwasher with the torx heads unpluged the already in place handle and replaced it with the one I recived from parts select, which I must say was much better designed then the one the dishwasher came with. I replaced the scres and that was it.

repair was fairly simple, I removed 6-8 screws and replaced the adjuster assembly.

Removed inner door cover. Latch Assy is held in place by 2 of the screws that hold the inner cover so at this point, the latch assy just slides out. The only minor problem I had was the microswitches on either side of the old latch would not let go of the connectors so using advice from a previous parts select customer, I removed the entire microswitches from the old latch (2 plastic prongs hold it on) and removed the new microswitches from the new latch and re-used the old microswitch assemblies. Works beautifully for $20 and 1/2 hour of labor versus the $240 I was quoted by a repairman!
