MDB8600AWW Maytag Dishwasher - Instructions

removed door panel, using torx wrench. I used an allen wrench configuration, has 90 degree bend in it, of the torx tool. In the future I would use a 'screw driver' configuration, i.e. straight shaft with handle on end. used screw driver to pry off old latch. reversed process to install new latch and handle mechanism. repair video provided by partselect was spot on! Partselect is my 'Go-To' from now on and am looking forward to contacting them for my next repair.

When ordering the parts there is a repair video of how to replace the door latch. Even though it was not necessary for this repair it is always nice to see someone else do the repair first so there are no unforseen items. This repair probably took longer to find the T20 than it did to do the repair.

Turned off the power to the dishwasher. Took off interior door pannel with torx bit driver, unplugged the connectors on the old latch assembly. Attached the connectores to the new assembly. Reinstalled the interior door pannel. Turned power back on. Done!

I watched the video on line and did exactly as it said. Very easy repair. No issues. Worked like a charm.

Replaced door latch

Everything went well and was pretty easy. The only slightly tough area was getting the wire clips to release off the terminals. You for sure want to cut the power to the dishwasher before starting your repair

removed seven of the nine door panel fasteners, separated the panel at the top, removed power leads from old part and attached to the new, replaced fasteners

Discovered problem Saturday order part arrived Tuesday, great service. Unscrewed torque screws left inner cover on. Used needle nose pliers to take wires off. (they were tight) Put new latch assembly in place connected wires and put screws back in.

Turned off power to dishwasher, then I removed inner panel using a torx screwdriver. Then I just removed the old latch / switch and replaced it with the new.

Used a battery operated screwdriver to remove white inner-door panel. Latch assembly unscrews as inner-door assembly unscrews. Two white wire gromets are pulled off of copper posts on the latch assembly. I needed to pry slightly with a screw driver. Attached the gromets onto the new assembly and then screwed inner panel back to door. Very simple assembly.

I thought I would have to buy a new dishwasher, which I could not afford at the time. I did some online research to find out what the problem likely was, went onto your site, and saw the part, watched the instructional video, which ws very informative, as I was able to buy the special screwdriver I needed. I ordered the part. It came two days later. I installed it a few minutes after it arrived, and was doing dishes that night! Thank you!

Once disassembly was done, it wasn't that difficult. Had to hand screw everything back,

This was the easiest repair I have ever done! Ordered in a few mins, and received the very next day. Opened the box and installed the two wheels - Done. That was Easy! Thank you so much for such quick service! Most definitely will use your company again in the future.

Unscrewed the internal door lining with star-shaped screwdriver bit (luckily I had it) and replaced the latch assembly. I left the old electric switches: was easier to unhook them than disconnect the wires. Overall much easier than expected.

Just took the dishwasher door apart, took out the old latch (handle) assembly and popped in the new one. If a 74-year-old woman can do it, I'm sure about anyone could. Thanks for the good service.
