MDB6601AWW Maytag Dishwasher - Instructions

Easy repair. Door, and handle come apart removing 10 screws. Well worth buying the part and doing it myself.

First I turned off the power to the dishwasher. Then removed the screws holding the door together. Two of the screw holding the door on also hold the latch in so the latch comes out easy when you remove the two wires connected by spade terminals. Reverse the process to reassemble and your done. Pretty easy.

Looked you up; ordered; part came quickly.
Thank you!

I took the screws out of the door which released the part, umplugged the wires and, I then diagnosed which part I had to order, ordered the part and when it arrived I reversed the process. It was simple. I probably could have done the whole repair in 15 min if I had the part on hand.

First I had to remove the screws holding the inner door liner to the outside door. Since two of the door screws also held the latching mechanism in place it came right out when I pried the door halves apart. Other repair tips had stated how the hardest part of this repair was getting the wire leads out of the switches on either side of the latch. So instead of trying to do this I just took the switches off the new latch and reconnected the old ones. Putting everything back and rescrewing door together was a snap. Easiest home repair job I ever did. I will think twice before calling a service man again.

It was a silverware basket......I picked up the old one, replaced it with the new one. It was a perfect fit. It could not have been easier.

Had to pull the inner skin off the dishwasher after taking out the 11 screws and the handle litterally falls out when you pull the shell up --unhook the two(2) sensor plugs put the new handle in its place-hook the sensors back on and screw the shell back on in no more then 15-20 minutes.

Replaced the basket!

(Remember to turn off power to appliance before replacement of the door latch) Removed the 11 #20 Secrews from the inner door panel, then carefully removed the wire harnes from each side of the door latch assembly. It was very dificult to get the wire harness from the latch so use caution, and remember wich harnes goes to eacy side for install. Then put wire harness back on and put inner panel in place and install the 11 #20 screws back in place. Turn on power and job is complete.

I ordered the new door latch on a Monday afternoon. To my surprise the part was at my doorstep by 11am the next day. The repair was fairly simple. Just a matter of unscrewing the inside panel of the door and popping in the new handle. The fast delivery was a pleasant surprise.My dishwasher was down only one night.Thank you Part Select!

I removed the screws from the inside of the door panel. The latch was readily accessible, it was an easy replacement .It took about 10-15min to replace the latch and replace all the screws. Overall, it was a easy fix.

Remove interior door screws about a dozen or so socket head screws with variable speed drill, disconnect two leads from old part, replace with new part and re-install door. Most encouraging to see new part was redesigned in the area of part failure.
