ADB1200AWQ Amana Dishwasher - Instructions

easy to do unscrewed the plastic on the inside of the door lifted it out of the way takeing care not to damage the wires that are connected to it for the soap dispenser. the old latch fell right out the 4 wires where a bugger to get off and i actually destroyed the switches while unhooking the wires i plugged the wires into the next latch that came with new switches put everything back together and i open and closes like brand new

removed inside panel disconnected switch replaced with new handle and switches.

Works great

Removed the upper spray supply manifold and the lower spray arm, and all other pieces to reach the chopper assembly, removing those pieces, installing the new pieces, and put everything back together. Success! The dishwasher is working as good as new.

i simply removed the screws holding the cover ithen removed the old handle by removing the electrical wires i then plugged the wires onto the new handle i then placed the handle back on the machine replaced all the screws plugged the unit back in and the little lady was so happy she could wash dishes again she bar-b-qued me a big t-bone steak for dinner. THANKS PARTSELECT YOU SAVED THE DAY.

Popped the wheels on just like the ones that were still there and it was good to roll. Nice!

installed rack stoppers. Didn't use tub wheels but fixed old (as best I could) didn't want to spent the money for rack adjuster at this time(wheels are part of rack adjuster assembly)

The 2 harness connectors to the switches would not come off. I had to finally remove the 2 new switches from the new handle/latch assm. and plug in the old ones with the harness bables still attached to them.This worked fine and resolved the door problem. Unfortunately, I am now forced to use the old original switches while the new switches remain in the shipping box. If the old switches go out, I have no idea how to remove the connectors so I can attach them to the new switches.

To open "stuck door", with right hand around upper right top edge of door and with left hand push directly inward on handle then pull out with right hand. It is a little tricky to do, but door will open. Turn off power to dishwasher. With the right size torx driver, remove the stainless steel screws around inside perimeter of door, left, right and top. Lift out inner door, which has a clip holding some wire in middle, so can;t lift all the way off. Lift it up enough to just "lift out" door handle/switch assembly. With power OFF, grab plug connectors and pull of old handle. Mine were very tight, and kind of rocked connector down and up while pulling and came right off. Plug wires into new unit, lay in place of unit removed just alighning to two pins. Lay inner door back in place, put screws back in, and you are done. VERY easy repair.

Removed door facing screws, unpluged switch wires, attached wire plugs to new switches on handle and replaced screws. Finished.

Turn off electric breaker to dishwasher. Remove all star head screws from inside rim of door pannel. Disconnet electric connetions (somewhat difficult-had to use pliers)from old handle then attach to new handle set in place. Srew door panel back on. Turn electricity back on.

I probably could have nursed the dishwasher for years but with two young children it an impossiblity to achieve kitt gloves this repair required. My kids are just old enough to do dishes and the last thing I want is an accident with water running into the basement. Placing the order and receiving it almost too fast made the install simple, quick and my wife still hasn't noticed. I impressed myself with the quick turn-around but I repair cameras for a living so repairs are second hand.

Unscrewed door panel; replaced latch mechanism (old one was broken), including a bit of very simple wiring; screwed door panel back in place.
Dishwasher closes and runs fine now!

found the problem. took out old handle and latch assembly then replaced with the new one. straight forward, very simple.

remove door panel screws but in new handle renstaall panel screws done.

As a very capable "do-it-yourselfer," once I realized that I had a part that I could not repair, the first thing I did was go to partselect.com to find my part. The exploded diagrams made it easy to determine the correct part I needed. A very reasonable $25 dollars and 2 days later the part showed up on my doorstep, well packaged to protect it during shipping and was an exact replica of the failed part. Five minutes later, I had the part replaced and a wife who is once again grateful to not have to wash the dishes by hand. Thanks partselect.com you made me a hero!
