MDB7600AWB Maytag Dishwasher - Instructions

Removed panel door and handle came off when I removed panel put new switch / handle in place replaced torx screws and all is good Thanks You guys are great Speedi ship and Great price on parts

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.

Calcium build up from our hard water had plugged varous parts of the dishwasher. Dismantling all the parts for cleaning had resulted in my braking the retaining tabs on the upper sprayer arm, that snaps into a plastic clip that attaches to a flat water distribution tube running from the base of the dishwasher up the back and then over the inside top of the compartment. Replacement is literally a snap. Make sure your get good visualizaton of how to remove the various plastic pieces from the metal or plastic clips that secure them to the inner wall of the dishwasher. Don't do the work only by feel; as I tried to do. Positioning your body to get a good look is, at best, awkward

Remove screws holding the panel inside the door.
Use weight to keep the door open.
Disconnect connectors at the door latch.
New latch fits in nicely, replace connectors.
Screw the door panel into place.
The hard part: separating the 2 connectors from
the micro switches on the latch.

opened inner panel of door, removed old latch and installed new latch.

Removed the screws holding the inside and outside of the door together together wothout knowing for sure what needed to be done since I did not have any sort or repair or maintenance manual. Acutally, did not remove the bottom screw on each side since the inside and outside came apart enough to remove and replace the assembly. The two screws holding the assembly in place also helped hold the two door parts together. The mistake I almost made was to order just the door latch only. Upon removing the assembly the latch was good but I couldn't tell that before hand. I would suggest that a note be added to the Illustrated Parts Breakdown that when in doubt, order the Handle and Door Latch Complete Assembly with Switches since there is not that much difference in cost and any problem with the latch assembly is solved!

although I saw simple instructions on your web site, I asked a local repairman to do the work rather than ask my husband. When he arrived, my husband watched him do it and commented afterward that it was a simple repair that he could have done himself after all! We would definitely order from you again--quick delivery of exactly what we needed! Thanks!

I took off the torx bolts, set them to side, handle unit is held in by two of the same bolts, it was a little difficult to pry the electric gizmo connectors, but with the pliers it was not bad, put the new part on, double checked I had everythiong on, then put the torx back on, whamo, done.

I ordered the part from partselect on Saturday night and got it on Tuesday. All I needed was a screw driver. Take off all but the 2 lower screws holding the door panel on. You can then reach in and pull the latch assembly out. I used a flat screw driver to pry the wires away from the plug. After removing 1 side I plugged it into the new latch before unplugging the other side so I wouldn't get the wire on the wrong side. Then it was just a matter of slideing the new latch back in and screwing the door panel back on.

It was so easy to install. It came with the handle and switches already put together for me. I removed about
ten T-20 Torx screws from the inside cover to expose the handle mechanism. When you remove these screws it also releases the handle assembly. The hard part if you want to call it that, was removing the wires off the old switch assemblies. A small screw drive works fine to pry them off. Re-connect the two wires and install the cover and your done. I did a lot of checking and PartSelect.com had the best price anywere.

1- Remove all the torx screws holding the inside panel on.
2- Open panel and remove handle and door latch assembly.
3- Replace old assembly with new. It was at this point that I ran into some difficulty. The old switches would not come off the terminals. I therefore removed the new switches from the new assembly and left the old switches in place.
4- Close cover and replace torx screws.

the small plastic part that turns the dishwasher off and on when the door is shut was worn out. It was really easy to change out. I unplugged the power cord and removed the black and white wires. Put in the new switch and it was ready.

Remember to switch off the connection to the dishwasher FIRST!!
remove all the screws from the door and used pliers to unplug the 2 switches and attach the new part. It looks very easy to repair but needed lot of effort as removing the broken part was the toughest. Had to break open the switch and remove the teeth of the switch.

removed front panel (not all the way) two screws on top, removed swith wires....reinstalled....real easy repair.

A+++++ to parts select....I ordered the part on Friday night and it was delivered Sat by Fed-Ex. I didn't pay any extra for shipping......and I was SURPRISED to see it the next day..."GREAT JOB" Parts Select...you are my "go to" parts source...
