MDB8750AWS Maytag Dishwasher - Instructions

Watched the video, got mislead it show that you remove the handle, spent 15 minutes struggling with this only to find we did not need to remove it. Just go beyond that initial remova and it's a 10 minute job.

First deenergize (turn off electricity) dishwasher. Remove all screws holding door panel. This will allow you to get to the inside of the door. The latch will be loose. Carefully pull electrical connections off both sides of the unit one at a time so as not to mix up position of the connections. Do this with needle nose pliers. Reverse order of the above steps to complete job.

1. Secure power to the dishwasher via the circuit breaker on the main electrical service. 2. With the door in the horizontal position, remove star bit screws around the perimeter of the inside door panel. 3. Remove the inside door panel to expose the switch assembly. 4. Unplug the switch assembly and plug in the new one. 5. Set the new assembly in place and reposition the inner door panel. 6. Re-install screws around the perimeter of the inner door panel. 7. Re-energize circuit providing power. 8. Done

With the dishwasher door open and horizontal, remove 10 screws with torx driver that secure the inner door liner. Once that is done, gently lift the inner liner a few inches to expose the handle mechanism and lift the old handle mechanism to remove. There should be enough length in the connection cables to allow you to work out side the inner liner. Remove the two connections, one on either side, to the safety switches and discard the old handle mechanism. On the new mechanism, reconnect the connections to both safety switches and place the new mechanism in the opening of the door. Replace the inner liner, ensuring all holes line up and replace the 10 screws that secure it.

After removing the inside panel, the two plug-ins are removed from the old handle. They were very tight, be careful to avoid damaging the plastic. Plug into the new handle, drop in place and replace the inside panel. A video I watched recommended pulling the two plug-ins from the panel. It is not necessary if you have someone hold it apart from the door. Very simple installation, about 10 minutes.

Was easy to repair. Removed all the screws around the inside door panel and the allowed me to disconnect the 4 wires one the switch and reconnect them to the new one. Replaced the panel and all the screws and I was done. Connected the power back to the washer and it worked nice.

Took the inside of door off. Had to order entire switchboard.New part came in, put it into door and realized the handle does not come with.the latch assembly. You should advise customer that they come separately. It made me loose three more days. Everything works fine now

After watching your video on replacinging the door handle I was able to change the handle w/o any difficulties. The repair videos are the greatest!!! Thanks

Easy repair, no wonder Maytag repairmen have nothing to do. Just remove the inside panel screws, unsnap old part and replace with new. Replace panel and screws.

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.

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.
