ADW862EAS Amana Dishwasher - Instructions

WE installed a new door gasket. However the machine still had a leak only on the left side. Called a tech and he came and said the gasket was installed backwards. Apparently the original one was also because we installed the new gasket exactly the way the old one was. We are all set now.

I had to cut the old rack for 2 axles and add 2 wheels from the old rack to the new one that was sent. the new one had 2 less wheels.I used white zip ties and wheels from the old rack. Placing the wheels in the right place I used the zip ties to hold them in place. Without the extra wheels like the old rack had the new one would fall into the bottom of the dish washer. Working just fine so far.

Top holder was turning black and disintergrating. I orderder the part and the box arrived but I havem't had time to install it

ordered the basket and put it in its place.

I opened the door, and looked at the upper shower fixture ( a spining arm with holes in it) and saw there was a star shaped object that appeared to be the attaching screw device for the top shower. With my rignt hand I grabbed the points on the star and easily rotated them counter-clockwise, until the upper shower fixture came off in my hand. Next, I removed the top end of the pre-formed plastic tube from the top of the tub. I laid on my back so I could see under the tub (where the plastic tube is joined to the actual pump). The tube is connected to the tub via a rubber hose fitting. I unscrewed the rubber hose clamp and removed the pre-formed plastic tube. Disassembly was then complete and you simply reverse the procedure. Took less than 15 minutes. My diswasher is now back to working properly.

I ordered the basket on Sunday and received it on Tuesday. It is a better basket than what originally came with the dishwasher. Very happy with the prompt delivery and service.

Exactly like the video...everything went well

Opened circuit breaker feeding dishwasher Removed the 10 screws from the inside panel on the door. Unplugged two quick disconnect plugs. Removed the wax motor (actuating solenoid). Installed the new one from Parts Select. Reconnected the plugs. Replaced the cover and 10 screws. Turned the breaker on and ran a load of dishes. worked perfectly.

replaced hose

Extremely easy to repair. I can't believe I didn't do this earlier.

Pulled the old gasket. Cleaned gasket channel very well. Centered middle of new gasket with the door latch. Then worked gasket in both directions to both ends. Closed the door and left with door tight for several hours to allow it to seat with the new gasket. When use was resumed the leak, at least to this point, has stopped.

I found a short video on YouTube that showed me how easy it was to remove the old dishrack and install the new one. I would have never figured out how to get old diskrack out without watching short video clip. And, all I needed was my fingers to undo the end clips.

I pulled the washer put from cabinets to gain access to the springs and linkage, and in the process I broke the seal on the water line, and fixing that seal is what took the time in my repair. I would warn other do it yourselfers to be careful about that when doing the repairs. My repair was successful even if I caused a leak.
