DDW361RAW-PDDW361RAW0 Amana Dishwasher - Instructions

Pulled out gasket and replaced with new one. Leaking continued until one cycle was run. . . . Gasket needs to be wetted which could have been a small piece of papaer instructing repairer to do so. Suggestion . . . Add a short intructio sheet for replacing parts.

Opened the panel holding the soap dispenser (removed 9 screws). Removed one wire from the wax motor and replaced that wire with the same wire from the new part, and then removed the second (last) wire from old part and removed the old part and placed the second wire from the new part on the respective spot for that wire. Closed the panel and screwed in the screws and have run the dishwasher 5 times and it works great!

The part came super quick in just a few days. It was very simple to take off the track end cap without any tools, remove the broken roller and insert the new one. I did have to use some pliers to remove the screw from the broken roller. The only problem is that the part I ordered is not the right one. The broken roller was attached to the side of a metal arm running beside the upper rack with a screw and the roller part slid into the track arm. I could get it on but it just wasnt right and didnt hold the rack up when I loaded it with dishes so I found a longer screw than the original and temporarily put the old roller back on. I dont think it will hold for long though. I went back on-line and it seems the part I ordered is for the lower rack but I do not see any roller designated for the upper rack that takes a screw thru an axle-like center. Can you help me out?

I am so pleased! I was anticipating a big repair bill if I called in a professional. I got the part, popped it in, and now my dishwasher is good as new.

removed the screws on the door cover on the inside. removed the cover. unhooked the wires to the motor, removed the motor and replaced with the new motor and connected the wires. Placed the cover back on and put in the screws. The detergent cup now works.

Removed old gasket fro slot and pressed new gasket into slot

First I removed the old door gasket with a needle nose pliers. Second cleaned the area of old residue and third installed the new gasket by hand. I needed to trim the gasket by about 2 inches then it fit and worked perfectly. No more leak!

Initially, I replaced the copper water intake line with a flexible line because after running it one time, I removed the lower front panel and saw water dripping from the lowest part of the copper line. That didn't fix the problem. Then I removed the black door gasket, cleaned it up and reinstalled it. That didn't solve the problem. I read some of the other similar stories on this website and instead of just ordering the door gasket, I also ordered the soap dispensor latch grommet, just in case. I recieved the parts very quickly. Instead of replacing both parts, I just replaced the door gasket just to see if that was the problem. It must have been, because I haven't seen a leak since. Eventually I will replace the grommet, just because I have it.

We have hard well water and the gasket was in poor shape and time to be replaced. Very simple to just pull out the old gasket and put the new one in place. The gasket just needed a little bit of manipulation to properly fit from end to end. No big deal at all.

The old part had already broken off. My husband took a few minutes to see where it went and then snapped it on. It was a breeze.

remove and replace with tip of screwdriver

Took old gasket out and installed new gasket. Tested unit and all was dry. Door took more effort to click shut. I knew I had a good seal.

Removed old gasket. Cleaned groove. Install new gasket pushing it into the groove with my fingers

These two little clips just snap in. The biggest problem was unloading that basket (my wife has to have the dirty dishes off the counter pronto). After that, just snapped the old retianers out and inserted the new. Be sure to note where the clips go. The can be installed too close together and will not do a good job of holding those little pegs in place.

I removed six screws from the inside of the door panel and lifted up the panel to access the Wax Motor. I disconnected the two wires from the bottom of the motor and unclipped the motor from the panel. I reconnected the two wires to the new motor, installed the new motor, which just clips into place. I Reattached the door panel using the six screws. Everything is working fine again.
