MDB6601AWW Maytag Dishwasher - Instructions

Turned power off at the breaker. Opened the inside skin of the door by removing torx screws. Broken handle came right out. Released power supply clamps from old switch and removed wiring harness. Attached power cable to replacement switch. They were tricky to seat properly. Reset handle and closed door.

Removed inside door panel, door latch/handle assembly and 2 plug-on wires to switches.
Installed new door latch/handle assembly, switch wires and door panel.

I opend the door and viewed how the latch was positioned and secured. All the SM screws along the door seal had to be removed. This unsecured the inside door skin and revealed the old latch. No additional fasteners needed to be removed.

Wires were secured with a snap-on type pole system. It took some strength to pull them off. However, I was sure to place each on the same pole of the new latch.

The new latch went into its place and was auto-centered correctly on the door fixture designed for the part. Skin was resecured ... good to go!

Unscrew 10-12 screws from back panel of door. Unplug the electrial. There were two plugs that fit very tight, Hardest part of the repair, Had to use pliers to get the dam things off. ( 2 minutes)
Plug in new handle, set in door, and replace all screws. about 10 minutes from start to finish. If you use a hand screw driver and 10 minutes.

Removed all screws on back of door panel.
removed old door latch - installed new latch.
replaced screws. Simple enough -even a caveman could do. apologies to all cavemen reading this message.

I shut off the power to the unit, then removed the torque screws (be sure to remember which screw went in each hole -- the screws are different lengths).

I unplugged the two electrical connections from the broken handle, then re-plugged them into the new handle. I put the two pieces together, then re-inserted the screws, turned on the power, then done. Pretty easy!

Removed back of dishwasher door, removed old assembly removed two switches attached to assembly, Installed new assembly plugged switches into new assembly took less than 15 Minutes
The amazing thing is the speed in which I received the Part from Part select, I highly recommend amazing customer service
Only tool used Torx screwdriver

II took the handle off the old basket and attached it to the new basket. I replaced the old basket with the new one in the dishwasher.

This was the easiest repair ever. Turned off breaker to dishwasher. Took out 8 star screws on inside of front panel. Removed panel. Disconnected 2 electrical plugs. Removed door latch. Inserted new door latch. Re-connected plugs. Put door panel back in place. Put screws back in. Switch breaker back on. Turned on dishwasher and WHA-LA!!! back in action!! Parts and shipping around $30.00.... This is a for-sure D.I.Y.... :)

Removed eleven screws from inner door panel. Unplugged broken latch assembly and plugged in new one.
Replaced the eleven screws.
Easy as that.

All I did was put the new wheels on. They were really fast with shipping. I put my order in one day and the parts were there the next.

The only tricky part was taking the carrying handle off the broken basket and installing it on the new basket. The handle has three alternating hooks (two on one side and one on the other) that snap into slots in the center partition of the basket. I used three butter knives to push out the hooks from the slots so that I could remove the carrying handle. Once removed, the carrying handle snapped into place on the new basket fairly easily.

I swapped the handle assemblies. It was very easy.

Very easy to do...... I guarantee it takes less than 10 minutes. This was easy to repair yourself and I'm a girl .

1. I read the reviews on Parts select and decided it must be easy.
2. Part arrived very fast.
3. Turned off circuit breaker for kitchen appliances.
4. Open door and keep flat on floor. Remove the hex nuts with an electric drill with proper attachment.
5. Lift the compartment and have someone hold the top part up, while the other person disconnects the broken piece. It has two side plug like attachment that need to be released.
6. Attach the new part and make sure the two side pieces are latched back.
7. Close the top part down on the front and then screw back in the hexnuts.
8. Put the door back into normal closed position and latch will be like new!

Four screws were removed and new parts were installed. The only problem was that two types of rack adjusters exist. If your dishwasher does not have a lever, part number PS2100470, then the new rack adjuster either left or right side will not work without part numbers PS2100470(lever) and PS2100308(cover). Be sure to order parts for both sides since the original plastic wheel supports have been replaced with steel.
