1) Unscrewed all of the door screws. They had a star head on them but I was able to get them off with an allen wrench.
2) Unplugged the broken Latch Assembly.
3) Plugged in the new assembly
4) Screwed the door back together.

took necessary steps to remove handle that needed to be replaced. screws that needed to be removed. placed new part in and connected the necessary wires.

I knew the repair itself would be easy, but I was worried about finding the parts. PartsSelect took the hassel out of finding the parts. The wheel assembly came to my house within a couple of days, and I was good to go..

Switched out the parts--super easy. Perfect replacement part and fast delivery. Great!

I loved getting my new basket ware for my diswasher which I had no idea where to purchase one. My model number didn't match any of those listed but from the picture of the basket and one of the reviewers description about "just drop it in" I decided to try it and it worked perfectly. My basket-ware #W10187635 fit my Maytag DWU7400AAX.

Happy Grammi

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.

Each repair took about ten minutes of easy effort to install. Anyone can do this! You can too!

All screws are on the inside of the dishwasher.Not a good place when the washer is closed and the handle breaks.Had to take a box cutter and remove some plastic in the handle area to be able to remove broken handle and open dish washer.Once open this repair is a piece of cake.2 wires and a hand full of screws.

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.

Removed screws holding the front and back of dishwasher door. Disconnected two (2) connectors from old latch assembly, connected to new latch, screwed together front and back of the door. Done!

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.

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! ?

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.

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.

I am 73 years old and I am the mom or female of this household. It was very simple to install and worked perfectly on completion.

Also, the lady that helped me with ordering the part was very good. Great customer service.
