MDB7600AWW Maytag Dishwasher - Instructions

just switched baskets

I unscrewed the 8 screws that hold the inner door panel to the outer door. The latch is held in place by two slots in the upper control panel. I pulled the latch free of the control panel, uncliped the two sets of wires, replaced with the new part in the reverse order. It was so easy I now understand why the Maytag repairman doesnt have anything to do. Its not that the Maytags dont break down, its just that with the availability of parts from Parts Select. com, who needs them.

I removed all the screws from around the inside of the door. That also detached the old latch handle. Since I could not get the electrical stab-connectors off the old assembly, I removed the two small switches and attached them to the new assembly. Replaced the screws. It was a little awkward to hold the latch assembly in place while aligning the screws

Opened the dorr, removed the inside panel = the most time consuming part - and then exchanged the handle assembly. Then replaced the panel. Snap!
The hardest part was determining the part that I needed - the right part that did not involve repairing the/an assembly. Luckily I got the right one and two un-needed parts.

Stuff happens.

First I removed several screws connecting the front panel to the door. Then I removed the broken handle and locking/switch mechanism, removed the two connecting wires and replaced with the new handle/switch unit. Very simple. Don't forget to unplug the unit first.

I simply unscrewed the broken rack adjuster assembly from the rack and installed the new rack adjuster.
Pay attention to the position of the thumb lever when you remove the old adjuster for ease of re-assembly.
That's it.

took out the old one, put in the new basket

removed the old basket, pulled off the handle and put it on the new basket. It was quick and easy!

Removed all screws from inside door panel with star screwdriver, that I had to purchase. Old handle fell right out. Electrical connections were slightly corroded on but pulled off with some extra effort. New part slid in easily and replaced door panel.

Removed inside door screws. unhooked the wires from the door latch. Insert the wires in the new door latch. re-install the screws.

Open the door and removed all the "star" screws that hold the inside of the door. Lifted the inside skin up and pulled out the assembly. DIsconnect wires from the interlock switches, connect new assembly. Put scres back in, close door, all done!

Removed all "special" screws from the door panel, and lifted door panel up to access latch assembly. Disconnected the 2 solenoids & wiring from the broken latch, and place onto new latch. This seemed easier since the wire harnesses are very snug, apparently stuck even, on the solenoids. Obviously, this is not an option if the solenoid(s) are bad, but this was not the case for me.

I removed the 11 screws requiring the star type screw driver that I borrowed from a neighbor. Once the door front was removed the part change was simple. The two wires were a little difficult to disconnect, however once disconnected the part was simple to install.

Removed about five screws to take off the existing assembly, then reassembled using the replacement assembly. Really quick; really easy.

I took out eight torx head screws, removed latch handle mechanism replaced broken handle with new handle, re-installed mechanism and eight torx head screws. Very easy. P.S. don't forget to unplug the dishwasher
