I removed the original gasket, wiped down the area, and installed the new gasket the same way the old one was installed. It was very easy.

The repair was very easy! I simply pulled out the old gasket from around the front part of the dishwasher. I cleaned the area with a damp rag from any residue that was left on. I bent the long gasket in half and and pushed it in starting at the center of the dishwasher and went down one side at a time until the whole gasket was in. I then ran a short cycle on the dishwasher to make sure it was properly in place and the problem was fixed. NO MORE WATER ON THE FLOOR! I was so very happy to know my problem was fixed and I didn't need to buy a new dishwasher! It's been running great! :) ~ Elizabeth ~

Remove screws holding the inside of the door. Set lid aside. Pull out the old foam insulation. Clean the area. Replace with new foam insulation. Put door back together.

Pulled out the old gasket and pressed in the new one. No more leakage.

I pulled out the old gasket and put in the new one. You need to stretch it a bit as you guide it in the track.
It was very easy but did not solve the problem.
Apparently, Maytag dishwashers are known for a leaky soap dish which I figured out after the door gasket was replaced. The problem is usually with the soap dish latch. You need to take the inner door off, disassemble the soap diehs, out a new gasket and latch on, reassemble, and you should be all set.

romoved 3 screws, removed spray arm support nut. pulled off spray arm support, replaced new spray arm support and spray arm support nut

Popped off the plactic screen filter (3 screws). Droped in the new Spary Arm and put back together.

You guys are AWESOME! I ordered the part on a Wednesday afternoon and received it Thursday morning. So all and all I didn't even have to wash any dishes by hand.

Took the handle off the old basket and put it on the new one and it was done.

thanks for asking.

Took out screws on inner door(door part #8), being careful not to let the door swing upward once the screws were removed. Then removed bar reinforcement (door part#9). Next removed the control panel barrier (control panel part #6). Took picutre of items to be removed. Next removed the wires from the door switch, had to use needle nose pliers. Removed door switch&latch handle. Reassembled parts using old "foam". Easy. Total cost: $34. 49 Vs a quoted price of $160-200. 00 For service&parts.

I used a voltmeter to see if 120 volts was present at the right time in the cycle; it was, so the actuator was the likely culprit. I ordered one on a Monday afternoon about 2:30, and it appeared on my doorstep Tuesday, shortly after noon! It took less than 15 minutes to replace the actuator - removing the 7 Phillips-head screws, lifting the panel, popping out the upper actuator, removing the two wires, putting them on the new actuator, popping it in and putting the panel back on. Worked like a charm. Happy wife . . .

first i unhooked the 2 hoses then removed the 2 screws holding the valve in place, I then removed the hose fitting from the old unit and installed it on the new one. I then bolted on the new valve and reconnected the hoses and it worked fine.

I pulled the unit out its bay and saw that one spring was missing. I looked up the parts online and ordered replacement springs and linkages. Using the existing spring and linkage as models, I easily installed the new parts. I ordered spare parts in case the other linkage broke.
