ADB1500AWW Amana Dishwasher - Instructions

Replase door lach Thang you for the fast respons Peter Hansen

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!

I'm so happy I ordered these wheels, with them it's running
like new. Without the wheels it was making grinding sounds when it ran. You just push them onto the rack spokes and snap them in place. EASY!

i read how it was done on this web site

As described it was as easy as 1-2-3, safety first, disconnect the power, unscrewed 8 screws, opened the cover, got the old broken handle out and installed the new latch handle- connect the 2 connections, turned the main disconnect and walla.

After figuring out that the problem was a broken latch, the repair was quite straightforward. You first have to remove all of the torx screws that hold the inside face of the door on. Then I labeled all the connections on the old latch assembly before disconnecting the two wires and sliding the latch assembly out. Pay attention to the orientation as it comes out and replace the new one in the same way. Hold the new latch in place as you push the inside of the door over top and then put in the screws. The new handle worked great. I think the reason the old one broke was we thought you had to hold down the handle to close the door and that put strain on it. Just push the door closed without touching the handle and I bet that it will last longer.

Removed the 12 screws on the backside of the door. Raised the inner door up, took the handle assembly out, removed the switch wires then reversed the process to reinstall.
No problems, worked good

Removed about ten screws which secured the inner liner in door. Two of those screws also were designed for double duty as they also held the handle assembly in place. The handle has two electrical connectors to remove. Reconnect the assembly and reassemble inner liner screws. The fix was easy. New handle assembly has a steel pivot pin instead of plastic so replacement part/assembly addresses the failure mode.

1. Open the dishwasher door. Remove the inside panel of the dishwasher door and expose the Handle and Latch assembly.
2. Order "Handle & Latch Assembly Complete with Switches" from partselect.com
3. Received the part 3 days later.
4. Replace the part.
5. Done.

Removed torx head screws around inside of door. This allows you to open the top of the door enough to access and remove the latch. The latch itself is not fastened to anything, just held in by pressure of the door panels. The wires on my latch were extremely difficult to remove and if you're not careful you will get a shock, so don't touch them both at the same time. Put in new latch, re-install screws. Worked perfectly.

It was fairly easy to fix the dishwasher handle just little time consuming taking in side cover off to get to it. One thing I can say is the lady I dealt with was very kind, and very helpful. It only took like three days to get here I only paid regular shipping. Beats having to buy new dishwasher. Thank you
