MDB7650AWW Maytag Dishwasher - Instructions

Disconnect power.Removed 11 inner door panel torx screws.Removed 2 handle/ latch screws. Unplug wires from both switches. Installed new handle/latch assembly. Connected both switches.Reinstalled all screws on inner door panel. Turned power on and ran dishwasher.

I watched the online video and followed their easy instructions. I believe I save BIG money by doing it myself.

Very easy do it yourself. Cut the power off to the dishwasher. Open the dishwasher door. Unscrew the corner screws of the door cover. (About nine screws. You may need to use a nut driver or allen wrench. You can elect to take off the entire cover or leave it on. I had enough room to leave it on. The latch assembly sits on top of the door mount. It comes right out. Use a screwdriver to remove the latch assembly from the two electrical connectors. Be gentle with these connectors. This is where you may need to remove the entire cover, just to give yourself more elbow room to work. Replace the old assembly with the new one. (Note: you have to replace the entire assembly even if just the door latch is broken.) Remount the assembly to the fixed mount, close and screw the cover to the door and your done. I ordered the part on Thursday, received it the next day and installed in less than thirty minutes. And the part was a perfect match.
