MDB8600AWS Maytag Dishwasher - Instructions

removerd six screws, removed inside of door, removed handle latch, slid off two wire conectors. reinstallede wires slid latch into door amd replaced screws. Door works perfectly now. Very easy installation and the part was delivered in two days of placing order.

Fairly easy repair, once I had the right tools. Unplug the old latch and plug in the new. Re-set the screws and done.

Remember to switch off the connection to the dishwasher FIRST!!
remove all the screws from the door and used pliers to unplug the 2 switches and attach the new part. It looks very easy to repair but needed lot of effort as removing the broken part was the toughest. Had to break open the switch and remove the teeth of the switch.

removed front panel (not all the way) two screws on top, removed swith wires....reinstalled....real easy repair.

A+++++ to parts select....I ordered the part on Friday night and it was delivered Sat by Fed-Ex. I didn't pay any extra for shipping......and I was SURPRISED to see it the next day..."GREAT JOB" Parts Select...you are my "go to" parts source...

Turned off power to kitchen/dishwasher. Opened door and removed screws holding door cover on. When that comes off so does the handle assembly. I could not get the wires to come off the connector on the handle assembly so I gently bent the prongs holding the wire connector assembly and removed that with the wires still connected.Then I did the same for the new one. I replaced with the new switch, reassembled door cover and it worked great. $30.00

Took all the screws out of the back of the door. Pulled the door apart and determined the handle was broken. Handle and door latch came as an assembly with switches. Unhooked the wires from the old latch onto the new latch and put the assembly in place. Replaced the screws on the door frame. Everything worked. Wife thinks I'm a genius.

I just took off the four screws and put the entire roller adjuster on was done in less than 5 minutes

I removed the screws holding the front of the door to the inner door. I un-snapped the two electrical connectors and snapped them on the new part. I fit the new latch mechanism to the door front and screwed the inner and outer doors together. The other stories that were posted were a big help. It could not have been simpler. I was surprised and impressed at the web site and how easy and fast it was to obtain the correct part and fix it myself.

I removed all the screws holding the inside panel to the door. Two of the screws held the Door Latch Assembly in place. Once I got the new Assembly, I removed the wires connected to the old one and attached the wires to the new one, paying attention to which one connected to which side. I screwed all the screws in and tested the dishwasher and everything worked fine. Easiest repair I've ever done.

I am not an appliance repairman but I will try anything once. If I break it or screw something up, who cares. It was already broken right? This was a simple and easy repair. Removed the torx head screws. Lifted the inside door assembly. Propped it up with a wooden block. This allowed me to remove the old handle and door latch without having to remove any wiring except for the door switches built into the replacement assembly. Marked the lower wire on each of the wiring connectors attached to the switches. This saved me worrying about whether or not I had the connector the correct way. Lifted the old handle and door latch out. Removed the connectors using pliers. Try gently rocking them back and forth to avoid breaking the switches as they can be reused if they are still good. Plugged the connectors into the new switches and dropped the handle and door latch in place. Removed the wooden block and set the inner door back in place. Note: 2 screws that hold the inner door in place also hold the handle and door latch. Replaced the screws and ran a load of dishes. All together it took me less than 10 minutes to replace the handle and door latch.

First, I removed the screws holding the inter liner to expose the broken part. I then removed the handle assemble, the broken part. I then got on the internet and serached for a parts place replacement company and I found Parts Select. I entered my request and purchased the replacement part within minutes. The part arrived in a couple of days and I installed it without a problem. Great service!

Luckily, I had read "how-to" feedback posted by others on the PartSelect website.
Most people had commented on how fast they received the part. I have to also praise PartSelect for how fast they had the part delivered -- the next day.
Following the advice of others: I unplugged the dishwasher, removed the door panel screws, slide the panel to the right, lifted the broken handle from its brackets, used needle nose pliers to removed the two electrical connectors, dropped in the new part, and reversing the procedures, reconnected everything.
My thanks to others who took time to post their "how-to" guidance. Again, it really helped. And again, thanks to PartSelect for getting the part to me so fast.

Shut off electric supply. Remove inside panel with T-20 torque driver. Disconect plugs. Remove latch assembly. Install new assembly. Reconect plugs. Reassemble inside panel. I ordered part on Wednesday evening, received it on Friday, and installed it in about 20 minutes start to finish. Won't order parts any where else. Cheaper including shipping than local parts store.

I removed the top rack from the dishwasher then removed the screws that held the adjuster on. I installed the new adjuster assembly and reinstalled the rack. Very easy!

The shipping time on the new part was excellent. I ordered it online on Sunday evening and had it waiting for me when I got home from work on Tuesday.

Removed inside of door panel by taking torq screws out around the entire door. Carefully remove electrical connectors so Door Handle and Latch Assembly with Switches can be removed and replaced. Remove screws so entire dishwasher can be slid a couple inches out from under counter. Slide back insulation a bit, remove one torq screw to replace Door Striker. Back to working again.
