MDB7600AWW Maytag Dishwasher - Instructions

The handle comes with the switch assembly. I took out the screws holding the back side of the door (white side , inside the of door). The switch assembly comes loose as two of the screws in the door panel hold the switch panel in place. There are two plastic hoders at the bottom of the switch attached to the inside of thr front panel. On mine these were broken off, but not really needed. You might have to get the old switch assembly loose from yours. I then pulled the switch wiring from the old switch. Note what goes to which side and in what direction they plug in and then hook up the new switch assembly. You may need to get the new switch bottom lugs back into the two brackets (mine were broken off and I ignored them) and then I located the two top holes in the switch assembly with the two holes in the top of the door and placed the back door panel back in place and put all the screws back in the door panel. That was it.

1. Shut off the power. (important!)
2. Removed 9 screws from the door panel. Left the bottom 2 in place. There is enough room to access the latch assembly.
3. Removed the broken assembly. The microswitch connections were easily removed by inserting the tip of a large scewdriver and carefully rotating it to ease the switch off the prongs.
4.Installed the new latch assembly and replaced all the 9 screws.
5. Closed the door and reapplied the power. Success!
6.Time taken was 10 minutes.

The instructions from others with a similar problem were invaluable.

also had to replace heating element. Had to remove dishwasher from under counter to get to heat element. Initial installer used long braided steel water line and plug in electrical connection so removal was easy (10 min). Pulled (2) electrical terminals from heat element and (2) plastic retaining nuts put in new element w/matching nuts,element came w/seals. Check for leaks before installing back under counter. Then removed torx screws holding impeller cover and accumulator/filter removed old put in new after good cleaning of course. All is well.

I watched the video repair program and it was just that simple. What was the most amazing is from the time we called in the order until we got the parts and made the installation was less than 72 hours. We simply cannot believe how easy this was. Thanks ever so much!!!!

I like the new rack has a nice handle and seems sturdier, I put up with old one too long I got the new part in a few days thanks

I removed inner door panel torx screws, disconnected two electrical leads to switches on each side of latch, installed new one in reverse order and everything worked again. Piece of cake!

Open door. Remove 11 screws around the perimeter of the inner door panel. Separate inner door panel from outer panel. Pull off 2 electrical connections from switches on the door/latch assembly(remember their respective locations). Remove broken handle/latch assembly. Insert new assembly. Reconnect electrical connections. Being mindful of the wires between the panels so they are not pinched, mate the inner and outer panels together and insert screws. Give it a test run.

Very satisfied with the promptness of delivery of part. Removed the inner part of door, unplugged old part and plugged in new one. Had some difficulty with unplugging old part, but no trouble installing new one. Dishwasher works great and am amazed with the ease of repair

very easy repair with a nutdriver,just remove the inside panel of d.w. door ,unplug wires from door handle assembly and reinstall new...

Shut the breaker off, removed the inner door panel with a drill and torx head. Had to pry off the old part with a screwdriver, but then easily hooked the new part up and replaced the door panel, and that was it. Works great. I can see how it could happen again with the little plastic tabs holding the handle in place.
By the way, I ordered this part online on Thursday afternoon and it came Friday. I was stunned! Super service.

Removed screws and front cover, disconnected 2 plugs and replaced. There were 2 broken clips on door, replaced part anyway. Part works, we will see how long.
Remember how you unplug the connectors.

I took out the old basket and dropped in the new! Easiest repair of my lifetime. Thanks. :)

It is difficult to remove the electrical connection from the old unit. The replacement was otherwise simple.
