MDB8600AWB Maytag Dishwasher - Instructions

I opend the door and viewed how the latch was positioned and secured. All the SM screws along the door seal had to be removed. This unsecured the inside door skin and revealed the old latch. No additional fasteners needed to be removed.

Wires were secured with a snap-on type pole system. It took some strength to pull them off. However, I was sure to place each on the same pole of the new latch.

The new latch went into its place and was auto-centered correctly on the door fixture designed for the part. Skin was resecured ... good to go!

Unscrew 10-12 screws from back panel of door. Unplug the electrial. There were two plugs that fit very tight, Hardest part of the repair, Had to use pliers to get the dam things off. ( 2 minutes)
Plug in new handle, set in door, and replace all screws. about 10 minutes from start to finish. If you use a hand screw driver and 10 minutes.

I swapped the handle assemblies. It was very easy.

Replaced with screws. I was so very impressed at tkhe super fast shipping. Order one day and received the next. Didn't even pay for the fast shipping. Just standard. That was great and very much appreciated!

Is pretty straightforward

Removed all screws on back of door panel.
removed old door latch - installed new latch.
replaced screws. Simple enough -even a caveman could do. apologies to all cavemen reading this message.

Turned off power to the dishwasher. Removed eleven screws to the inside door panel. Disconnected two wire harness connectors from the broken door latch assembly, and replaced them onto the new door latch assembly. Replaced the door panel and inserted the eleven screws. Turned power back on. Dishwasher works fine now.

I shut off the power to the unit, then removed the torque screws (be sure to remember which screw went in each hole -- the screws are different lengths).

I unplugged the two electrical connections from the broken handle, then re-plugged them into the new handle. I put the two pieces together, then re-inserted the screws, turned on the power, then done. Pretty easy!

Removed back of dishwasher door, removed old assembly removed two switches attached to assembly, Installed new assembly plugged switches into new assembly took less than 15 Minutes
The amazing thing is the speed in which I received the Part from Part select, I highly recommend amazing customer service
Only tool used Torx screwdriver

All I did was put the new wheels on. They were really fast with shipping. I put my order in one day and the parts were there the next.

This was the easiest repair ever. Turned off breaker to dishwasher. Took out 8 star screws on inside of front panel. Removed panel. Disconnected 2 electrical plugs. Removed door latch. Inserted new door latch. Re-connected plugs. Put door panel back in place. Put screws back in. Switch breaker back on. Turned on dishwasher and WHA-LA!!! back in action!! Parts and shipping around $30.00.... This is a for-sure D.I.Y.... :)

Removed eleven screws from inner door panel. Unplugged broken latch assembly and plugged in new one.
Replaced the eleven screws.
Easy as that.

Very simple repair. removed the torx head screws around the perimeter of the door's inside cover. Pulled (with some effort) the connectors off the old handle. connected them to the new one and re-installed the screws. As the screws are mounted in plastic and sheet metal take care not to over-torque them.

It was so easy to install. It came with the handle and switches already put together for me. I removed about
ten T-20 Torx screws from the inside cover to expose the handle mechanism. When you remove these screws it also releases the handle assembly. The hard part if you want to call it that, was removing the wires off the old switch assemblies. A small screw drive works fine to pry them off. Re-connect the two wires and install the cover and your done. I did a lot of checking and PartSelect.com had the best price anywere.

the small plastic part that turns the dishwasher off and on when the door is shut was worn out. It was really easy to change out. I unplugged the power cord and removed the black and white wires. Put in the new switch and it was ready.
