ADW5 Amana Dishwasher - Instructions

First: I unplugged the dishwasher.

Second: I removed the two screws that hold the dishwasher in place under the counter.

Third: I pulled the dishwasher out in order to see the sides of the doors where the springs hold the door attached to the dishwasher.

Fourth: I removed the worn springs with needle nose ... Read more pliers.

Fifth: I attached the new springs where the old springs were attached.

Sixth I tested to see how the door functioned with the new springs.

Seventh: I repositioned the dishwasher under the counter and secured it with the screws that I removed in step 2

I unscrewed the dishwasher brackets (2 of them) from under the counter, slid out the dishwasher. The springs (or broken springs) were visible. I removed them, popped the new ones in and viola!!! The door sprung up like it was new. Of course I slid the dishwasher back under the counter and put the screws back in. This took 15 minutes. ... Read more I couldn't believe how easy it was. A repair man wanted to charge us $75 just for a service call (plus parts). I repaired for less than $25!!!!

Remove the screws securing dishwasher to cabinetry; slide the machine out; hook spring into chassis; stretch spring using pliers and attach to arm on washer door. Push the machine back into place, replace screws. Very easy. The spring was delivered in about two days. Piece of cake.

Removed orig latch and replaced with new one. Took about 5 minutes and works like a charm. Very easy.

I was concerned that the latch handle might fit as the original did, however it was fine. The old one came out and new fit like a champ. The whole thing maybe took me 10 -15 min. Thanks for you quick shipment, everything went perfect.

Well, I thought I was going to have to pull the whole dishwasher out and disconnect the supply line and drain line, but I didn't. I just took off the bottom plate, got a flashlight and got on my back on the floor, then by feel I put the plastic spring linkage piece on the door hinges, then by feel I connected the spring to the other end ... Read more of the plastic spring linkage piece and then connected other end of spring to the right hole on the dishwasher frame (in order to find the right hole I just moved both springs up and down the holes to see which one seemed right.) And that was it.
