MDC4650AWW Maytag Dishwasher - Instructions

Replacement took maybe 3 minutes.

If you can not replace this part, then you have no business owning a home or going to the bathroom by yourself.

PartsSelect was economical and shipping was lightening fast. I'll be back for all my appliance parts needs.

Took the inside cover off the door and replaced the handle. This probably saved us $100 by the time we would have paid for a service call from a repair man.

First I removed the screws that held the door panel on then removed the handle and put the new one on. It was very quick and easy.

just put into dishwasher

Removed screws from inside of door. Replaced latch. Replaced door screws.

I removed the screws from the door, popped out the broken part, installed the new door latch and replaced the screws. The repair was fast and easy. Reading others comments about how to do the repair here helped a lot. Ordering from this company and finding the correct part couldn't have been easier. I feel fortunate to have stumbled upon this website. Fixing this on my own saved me a lot of money. Just for kicks I checked online with Sears. I found the part but they would not let me order it, I would have to request someone to come out and repair it for me, LOL! Thank you Part Seclect!

replaced with new basket

take the 8 screws out and remove old broken latch assembly and replace with much better built new one.

Turned power to dishwasher off. I had to unscrew 9 screws that hold the inside of the door on. This exposed the latch assembly I was able to disconnect the wires (had to tug quite a bit). Plugged wires back into the new assembly and fit it into place. Screwed the screws back on turned power back on and it worked. Yeah I fixed the dishwasher for under $30.

Matching the part I had in my hand with the picture online was a cinch. Rec'd the latch in a few days, and installed it in minutes. Why did I wait so long to look it up and order? At least the kids think I'm a hero for fixing the dishwasher!

Removed 8-10 screws holding door inside and outside together. Latch assembly came loose at that point. Slightly pinch microswitch terminals to pull from connectors on wire harness. Connect the new latch assembly to the wires. Position switch back in door. Screw door back together.

Simple repair, removed eleven screws with the star tip screw driver. Inner cover lifed up, latch lifed right out. Piar used to remove the wires from the spade connector. Put the wires on the new latch that was completely assembled. Placed the latch on the mounting studs, closed the inner cover replaced the eleven screws and task was complete.

Removed torx screws from inside door cover, then removed 2 torx screws that held the latch assembly on. Removed 4 wires from the 2 microswitches....wires are very difficult to pull off. Installed in reverse order making sure the proper color wires go to the correct microswitch. Probably the simplest, easiest repair job I've ever done.

Took off the remaining part of the arm and simply pushed the new part in place.

removed all the torx screws that hold the inside panel to the door. Removed the latch/switch.[Don't forget to turn off the power] Could not remove the wiring harness from the micro switch so I removed the old micro switches from the old switch and moved them to the new switch, harness and all. repositioned the latch and reattached the panel.
there are two latches available. I ordered the wrong one at first. Got the correct one in just two days. Was able to return to wrong one for credit.
Great service. Glad I didn't call a repairman.
