All Installation Instructions for Maytag Dishwasher MDB4000AWW

Basket rollers, clips, retainers, etc. that were deteriorated and broken.

Ordered parts and referred to exploded component drawings on the website to install replacements. Videos were helpful. Be careful to check all plastic parts for deterioration so that you can order them all at once. I had to make two additional orders for rollers and retainers that looked fine, but were brittle and needed replacement.

Parts Used:

Adjustable Peg Clip

Upper Spray Arm Snap Outlet Nut

Spray Arm Snap Retainer

Noticed a sporatic & minor leak from lower rt hand corner of dishwasher

Followed the video on your site. Removed old gasket, put in new one...easy, breezy! For good measure, since we weren't sure where the leak was coming from, installed a new water deflector as well, which was also extremely easy. Out with the old, in with the new and no leaks!!

Replace Dishwasher Door Gasket

It was very easy. Simply remove old seal with a pair of needle nose pliers. Clean or scrap any build-up from old seal location and then push-in the new door seal. Close door and let the new seal form to the door.

Leaking water

I grabbed a hold of the old gasket and removed it. I then took the new gasket and set it in place on one corner. I inserted it around the groove and with just one adjustment for length, I took the round bottom of a spoon to set and smooth the gasket into place. No more leaks. 5 minute fix.

upper dish rack roller failed.

Removed the upper rack rail stops. Removed the upper rack by pulling outward until the rack rollers cleared the rails. Attached the new roller on the upper rack. You can look at the other undamaged rollers to see how they lock into place. re-install the upper rack by feeding the upper rack rollers back onto the rails. Install the rail stops back into the rail ends,and the job is complete. VERY EASY!

Water line loosened and couldn't pull it out

I had to call an appliance repairman to come fix it. If I would have been able to pull the dishwasher out, it would have been a simple fix. It would not come out and I loosened to water line trying therefore causing more problems.

leak only on left side of machine

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.
