MDB8600AWW Maytag Dishwasher - Instructions
Keep searches simple. Use keywords, e.g. "leaking", "pump", "broken" or "fit".
Dishwasher door would not lock on the dishwasher and water would spray on the floor when the dishwasher would cycle.
Took the door of the dishwasher apart and the replaced the lever assembly. The lever assembly does not come with a door handle, so you have to remove the old door handle from the old lever assembly and install the door handle on the new lever assembly. Installing the handle on the lever assembly was the hardest part, the rest of the installation was easy.

dishwasher handle was broken
Although I might have been able to replace just a single peice to effect this repair, I chose to replace the entire door latch assembly. Just took off about a dozen torx screws from the inside of the door which then revealed the latch assembly. Simply remove two electrical cnxns off the old latch, replace onto the new latch, replace the dozen screws and you're done. Talk about saving money. Oh, these guys had the part to me in less than 48 hours wiith no extra shipping charge and their schematics on the web site made it easy to determine what I needed.

latch switch seemed to be stuck & when setting wash options when door was open, water would start to fill the washer
I removed the screws on the interior door cover plate, pulled the cover plate back which exposes the latch switch. I then pulled the two electric connectors off the switch, swapped out new switch, reconnected electric and put the screws back in. Simple repair which took not more than 15 minutes and solved the problem.

This brand of Maytag certainly doesn’t live up to it’s brand name
So the door failed one fine evening and blew water and the door open. Come to find out the latching mechanism had failed due to stress cracks. The last sterilization cycle seems to do the failed part in totally to the point if failed on the next wash cycle.
So 12 screws later and a new door latch assembly I have a working Maytag once again.
Steps are:
1.Unplug dishwasher of AC supply
2.Lower front door 45 degrees down.
3.Remove 5 screws on the top of door assembly
4.Remove next lower 4 screws mid door assembly. Leaving the lowest screws in place.
5.Separate front door assembly from inter shell of door.
6.Grab door latch assembly and disconnect one switch at a time. Replace one switch connector at a time to the new latch assembly.
7.You must keep in mind that the switches have a locking connector so use a very fine screw driver to disengage the lock in the center of the plug.
8.Once you have swaped out of old latch reassemble in reverse order.
And your done! ?

Pastic door latch broke
I open the door and removed 11 scews. I than removed the inside of the door to access the latch. I pulled the two wire clips and remove the latch. Place the new latch in the slots and pushed the wire clips back on. I than replaced the back panel and drove the screws back in.
The funny thing is at first I called a local appiance dealer here in town to get the part. After two weeks of waiting and no return call. I notified them to forget the order. I went on line and found this web site. Within three days I had my part at a better price than I was qouted by the appliance store.

The latch on the door broke so the door wouldn't secure shut.
Removed the eight screws holding the front panel on the door, then separated the panel from the door assembly. Removed the old broken latch and replaced with the new one, then put the panel back on door assembly.

Latch handle was broken...couldn't open door
Pried door open. First ordered the wrong part...latch assembly with no handle. Reordered proper part and installed it in no time. Ordered regular shipping (cheapest) and in both instances parts were there in two days via Fed Ex. Very quick getting the parts to me.
Removed half of the screws on inside of door and used pliers to unhook assembly from the two power connectors and then popped new one in place by hand. All repairs should be this easy. I will use this company again for all appliance parts needed.

Door latch physically broke
Removed inner door cover. Latch Assy is held in place by 2 of the screws that hold the inner cover so at this point, the latch assy just slides out. The only minor problem I had was the microswitches on either side of the old latch would not let go of the connectors so using advice from a previous parts select customer, I removed the entire microswitches from the old latch (2 plastic prongs hold it on) and removed the new microswitches from the new latch and re-used the old microswitch assemblies. Works beautifully for $20 and 1/2 hour of labor versus the $240 I was quoted by a repairman!
