ADB3500AWS1 Amana Dishwasher - Instructions

The plastic wheels on the upper and lower racks keep breaking. The latest casualty was also chewed up by the dog(s). They just pop right on the posts, a simple 2-second fix. I ordered the parts on a Tuesday morning, standard shipping, and they arrived FedEx less than 24 hours later. They came from Peoria, and I live about 1 hour away in Bloomington. Very pleased with the service. Will order from PartsSelect again if I need parts for any other appliance that I can fix myself.

All I had to do was litterally snap the wheels into place..it was so easy and so cheap!

Removed screws. New Part does not come as an assy. Need to order handle. Other sights offer full assy for less.

After receiving the latch assembly, which arrived rather quickly, I found the handle itself was not enclosed in the package. Therefore this repair was delayed and after several calls to the 1-800 number I was informed the company had discontinued the distrubution of the handle. They offered a full refund, however I'm still waiting for the return labels so as to ship the latch back.

Now on the brighter side, the company representative put me in touch with a local distributor that did carry the latch/handle assembly as one piece and for a lot less money.

For those who are attempting the repair, don't worry, It was very simple. Just remove hex screws, lift the inside panel, unplug the two connectors and insert the new assemply.

Must say my wife was very happy to have the dishwasher up and running again.

Good luck !

This couldn't have been easier. After unsnapping the docking station from the dishwasher, I aligned the two flapper valves that come with the unit and pressed them into place. I then pushed the new unit into place by pushing first on the left side and then the right until it clicked into place.
I looked at the old one and found that one flapper was gone and the gaskets were deteriorated. What made the whole process easier was buying from PartSelect. I have bought from them before and will again.

Snapped new roller on to dish basket frome

I removed the screws from inner door panel.The 2 top screws also hold the latch assembly in place.I then lifted the panel, removed latch assembly, unplugged the 2 wires ,then installed new part in reverse order. Reinstalled screws in inner panel. Oh yes,first turn off power first at breaker box.

Removed end caps on guide rails of rack, slid upper rack out of dishwasher, popped off broken wheel, snapped on new wheel, slid rack back into guide rails and snapped in end caps of guide rail. Very easy to do.

Pulled out the dishwasher and disconnected two power wires to heater, turned off the two hold-down nuts and removed old heater. I then installed the new heater in reverse.

took the broken ones off and snapped the new ones on.
easy as pie. took less than 5 mins.

We unscrewed the inner door panel and pulled it apart, disconnected the wiring, removed the screws holding the dispenser in place and swaped it out. One problem we had putting everything back together was that the latch for the door didn't line up and we couldn't shut the door but we simply unscrewed the door, readjusted the latch and put it back together. Works great now!

The repair was simple. My husband replaced the panel in about 30 minutes. The dishwasher looks brand new and updated and it saved us about $600.

First, turn the power off to the dishwasher. Then removed several screws that hold the panel in place. These are mostly on the side of the panel door. I then pulled the old panel and put the new one in.

1. Turned off power. 2. Unscrewed ten screws holding inside of door in place. 3. Lifted cover enough to access latch - helpful to have someone to hold this while doing the job. 4. Disconnected old latch assembly on each side - this was the hardest part as they were stiff and needed to be pulled hard. 5. Attached new latch assembly. 6. Screwed door panel back on. 7. Switched power back on. So easy and saved about $150. This stuff is NOT HARD and I just wish more people had the gumption to do repairs themselves instead of paying 'experts' to do exactly the same job.
