DDW361RAW-PDDW361RAW0 Amana Dishwasher - Instructions

After checking out the mechanism, I realized that the wax motor which operates the dispenser was no longer working. I conatacted Part select and on the second day, on a Saturday, Fedex delivered the little wax motor. I simply separated the front panel with the inside panel with 7 screws and a 1/4 inch nut driver. I slipped out the old wax motor, unclipped the two wires and slipped in the new motor. Attached the wires and put the panels back togehter. Voila, the dispenser works perfectly.
Total time, 15 minutes.

They just snapped in to place. Once I realized where they went. They are not the exact rollers needed but will do until I get the right ones. The rack will not come out as far as it should because of the difference. Other than that....easy.

Used utube to replace the inner seal. Did not stop the leak completely, had to replace the entire door seal and level the machine.I did the inner seal myself, but had a repairman under our homeowner warranty do the rest.

Called you on Saturday excellent operator placed order even with my card 1st refusing to do transaction. Received pump seal Monday (yes) and All the parts 3 days. Sears (only)the rubber seal! Used one nut driver, labor 1 hr. Thanks to everyone and the phone operator.. My wife is very pleased @ 3 days even over weekend delivery (and) price was less than sears. We shall shop your website again

Did search for how to fix leak, found PartSelect.com. Many stories about problems with gasket and grommet. Ordered gasket and installed it easily just like the video on PartSelect.com showed. Ran dishwasher - it still leaked. Ordered grommet and installed it following guidance from others on this site (thank you). Ran dishwasher - it still leaked. Searched for other causes. Made sure dishwasher was level and not overfilling. Ran dishwasher - it still leaked. Did another google search. One site said to check for a split in the lower spray arm. Sure enough, that's what I had! Ordered new spray arm and easily removed and replaced the old arm by unscrewing the plastic cap that holds the arm assembly in place and then removing the arm from the plastic clips that hold it in place (it just snaps in and out). Reversed the procedure to put the new arm in. Ran dishwasher - no leaks!

followed video provided,simple job and cured problem

Did some research on the web on how to replace the door gasket. No instructions were included with the part.
Once the part arrived, I soaked it in hot water around 30 minutes to remove the crease from where it was folded during delivery. Dried it off. Pulled the old gasket out of the door, cleaned the area with a soapy water and sponge and inserted the new gasket. Door fits tight and no leaks!

First I'll say that the parts arrived very promptly. Once I removed the 12 screws on this model and exposed the Wax Motor (why they call it Wax is baffling) I simply used the needle nose pliers to pull the 2 wire connectors from the motor. Because these motors come with a long extension nose, and this model dishwasher requires a shorter nose, I used a wire cutter to trim the nose to the proper length. I re-connected the wires, slid the motor in its' space and replaced all the screws for the front panels. Done.

Removed lower spray arm and installed new seal under spray arm.Did not fix problem,I am guessing a low spray pressure.Everything checks out O.K.Anyone have some suggestions.How does the rinse aid get out of the holding tankr?

Thought it was the door gasket. Replaced the gasket, still leaked. Thought it might be the soap dispensor O-ring and/or the tablet dispensor door latch grommet. It turns out that the grommet was bad and the leak was coming from it. Just had to take the door apart, remove two nut screws and take the latch assembly out to replace the grommet. Very simple and only took 10 - 15 minutes to do the job.

First I removed door liner with Torx driver. Then I cleaned out the dispenser mechanism. I found that the waxmotor snapped out. I disconnected the two wires and reattached the new motor. I then snapped the motor back in place. Worked like a charm.

removed 4 screws on lower plate, 2 screws on dishwasher tabs, slid unit out 6 inches, replaced spring linkage

Repair was simple and effective. Took out 7 torx screws, and then pulled the wax motor out of its holders. Pulled 2 wires off, remembering which went where, and replaced old motor with new motor. Reattached wires, put screws back in, and it works great again! The other reviews were very helpful!

Used a pair of needle nose pliers to grab the old gasket and then pulled it out of its channel all the way around (noted the orientation of the old gasket). Discarded the old gasket. With a damp paper tower cleaned the channel to make sure there was nothing to interfere with a good seal. Found the middle of the new gasket and starting in the middle of the door opening and using the same orientation (the back part of the gasket has a couple of ribs on each side - the ribbed part of the gasket goes into the channel first) as the old gasket, used my fingers to push the new gasket into the channel around the door opening making sure there are no kinks, crimps, or bulges. Closed and locked the door overnight. This is an EASY fix, and there has been no leak since.

Followed instructions given on the web. Replacement went smoothly, but...description of part said it was for Maytag as well as several other brands. However, this part clips on to the wire basket, where the original part screwed onto the track arm. Therefor, it will not stay on track, and basket vibrates when moving it in and out of dishwasher.
