MDC4650AWW Maytag Dishwasher - Instructions

removed the old basket, pulled off the handle and put it on the new basket. It was quick and easy!

Removed inside door screws. unhooked the wires from the door latch. Insert the wires in the new door latch. re-install the screws.

Removed all screws from inside door panel with star screwdriver, that I had to purchase. Old handle fell right out. Electrical connections were slightly corroded on but pulled off with some extra effort. New part slid in easily and replaced door panel.

The greatest thing about this repair was how quickly the part came from your warehouse. I literally ordered this on Friday afternoon and it arrived Saturday - less than 24 hours! The basket comes without the handle, so I had to pry the handle out of the old basket and snap it in place, but that was simple and viola! a brand new basket! Thank you!

I took out eight torx head screws, removed latch handle mechanism replaced broken handle with new handle, re-installed mechanism and eight torx head screws. Very easy. P.S. don't forget to unplug the dishwasher

Removed inside cover of door (several screws around outside edge of door), then the latch assembly itself. Getting the wires to release from the old latch was the most difficult--had to pry the wire clip loose from the inside with a small screw driver.
I saved a great deal by buying the part from PartSelect. I was able to purchase the entire handle/door latch assembly for just a few dollars more than the handle only at another site!

Easiest repair ever done. With the door open, remove all of the door liner screws and set aside. Lift the inner door liner away from the door frame to access the door latch. The door latch is held in place by two of the door liner screws, so the switch will already be loose. Note the orientation of the old latch assembly to insure the new latch is positioned correctly. Lift out the door latch slightly and carefully remove each wire and exchange the wires in position on the new latch. After the wires are firmly affixed on the new latch assembly, discard the old latch assembly. Set the newly wired latch assembly in the door over the corresponding hole positions for the top of the door liner. Align the door liner and insert the screws. Tighten each screw making sure that all screws are firmly secured, but do no over tighten them as it is easily possible to strip the threads.

Opened the front panel, cleaned everything, installed the new part and ... the only reason it took me longer (this is the funny part) it's because I forgot to turn on the switch on the wall so, kept working on until my wife remainded me. I recommend your web site for the easy navigation, the great instruction and the fast deliver of the right product.
Thank you!

1) Watch Video on PartSelect.
2) Pulled power plug. Then removed Door panel screws and screwed them into a scrap piece of cardboard, because they were of two different lengths and not discernable pattern.
3) Removed old switch/latch assembly.
4) Verified part removed with image on website. Also verified model numbers.
5) Waited 3 days for part to arrive (too cheap for overnight...would have doubled the cost).
6) Installed new switch/latch assembly and door panel. About 30 minutes to remove old part and another 30 minutes (3 days later) to install new part and re-attach door panel.

I opened the dishwasher, took the front inside panel off, unplugged the door latch, plugged in the new latch, replaced the front panel. I then checked to make certain it worked, then went to bed

removed indside door panel, disconnected existing switch and replaced with new, extremely simple

Following the video instructions was very easy. I had to run out to buy a special star shaped screw driver (x20) in order to remove screws on the door. Quick repair.

After turning off the circuit breaker, we opened the door and removed the door panel screws. From there it was very simple to swap the new part for the old one. It was not necessary to remove the dishwasher from under the counter or get under the kick panel or the sink. The PartSelect how-to video on the repair was very helpful.

Removed approximately 10 screws and then removed the inside panel. Once the panel was removed, the handle was easy to replace.

Took off inside door part and attached new plastic piece. Super simple and for under $15 works and looks like new.
