ADB1200AWS Amana Dishwasher - Instructions

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.

the part we received has changed, and so it did not fit our dishwasher after all. i was able to remove one flapper from the part and put it on my old one, and now the water pressure is much better, and the dishes are actually getting cleaned.

Removed inner door panel. Removed latch . Removing wire connectors from switches was difficult. Replaced latch. Reassembled. Done.

Calcium build up from our hard water had plugged varous parts of the dishwasher. Dismantling all the parts for cleaning had resulted in my braking the retaining tabs on the upper sprayer arm, that snaps into a plastic clip that attaches to a flat water distribution tube running from the base of the dishwasher up the back and then over the inside top of the compartment. Replacement is literally a snap. Make sure your get good visualizaton of how to remove the various plastic pieces from the metal or plastic clips that secure them to the inner wall of the dishwasher. Don't do the work only by feel; as I tried to do. Positioning your body to get a good look is, at best, awkward

printed instructions from your site. said would take 15 minutes. took about 5. take out the screws maybe 16 swap out handle and replace screws. whole job could be done during one set of comercials for law and order.

Removed the screws that held the inside panel'this allowed teh latch assembly to be removed and allowed me remove the from the latch. I then pluged the wires in the switches on the new latch. I remounted the new latch and reinstalled the inside panel. Job complete in about 30 min!!!

Open the door completely. Inside of the dishwasher door, remove all of the screws that hold the panel. Remove the broken Latch assembly by unplugging the two electrical wiring connections. Connect the new replacement Latch assembly to the electrical connections. Position it as it should be. Realign the panel cover and replace all the screws! [**Be careful to not "strip" the the receivers that the screws go into. I would suggest to hand tighten with a screwdriver. ]

Upon noticing that my latch was broken I removed the 10-12 torx scres from the inside of the front panel. After lifting up the inside panel, I removed the two floats from the latch assembly. I did not turn off the power at the breaker but did get a few volts in removing the float switches. When I received my parts, it took about 15 minutes to reattach the handle kit to the front panel and seal up the door. I did turn the power off at the breaker so there was no issue in stalling the wires and float switches to the handle assembly. I di order both the Latch and Latch Assembly that was shown in the picture without the latch. I was happy to see the latch already atteched to the latch assembly and I have sent the latch back for a full refund. Easy assembly and install.

I thought I'd be smart and go to Sears Parts and get the door handle with latch assembly. They had to order it, cost nearly $60.00 when I received it the handle was not part of the assembly. This really ticked me off, so I jumped on the internet, found Part Select that provided not only the handle with the assembly, but included the switches as well for half the price. Ordered it, three days later it arrived. Took less than 15 minutes to install the assembly and put the screws back in. Dishwasher is working like a charm. Thanks PartSelect for your prompt assistance with this. You've won over a new customer for future appliance repair parts.

I just replaced the purchased rack stoppers with the broken ones.

remove the old and place the new it was very easy
the part it was on time

the small plastic part that turns the dishwasher off and on when the door is shut was worn out. It was really easy to change out. I unplugged the power cord and removed the black and white wires. Put in the new switch and it was ready.

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.

I had to push at the old latch with a screw driver to get the door opened and then removed about 14 screws and opened the back of the door, removed the two wires from broken latch. Replaced the wires to new latch, set in place and replaced the 14 screws closed the door and was is good as new.
Easy as pie.
