MDB6657AWQ Maytag Dishwasher - Instructions

Ordered a new basket. Tossed out the old one. Done

remove damaged retainer clip. Install new one. Note: the upper spray arm screws onto the ceiling of the dishwasher with a reverse thread. That is, you need to turn it counter-clockwise to tighten it.

Snapped new wheel on

I asked my husband if I ordered the parts would he change them for me, and when they arrived, it looked so simple I did it myself. I removed the washer arm by unscrewing the disk that holds it in place. I took the metal heat deflectors off the old arm (they just easily pried off) and put them on the new. I lifted off the large round "plate" that the arm rests on and cleaned the underside. Then put it back together in reverse order.

I decided to do some regular maintenance on the dishwasher. The spray arm and components have been caked from our hard water and soap. I unwittingly broke the seal on a portion of the spray arm to try and clean. I did not know it was sealed, thought it could snap. The broken seal created a high pressure stream that pushed the door enough to let water leak out.

Replacing it was easy. Unscrewed the plastic nut, lifted out spray arm and disc, unsnapped arm from disc and replaced new one. Leak is now fixed. This part was much much cheaper than i imagined and brought new life to our dishwasher. Best.Store.Ever.

placed new guide rails on upper racks and clicked them closed.

I removed old hinge and snapped in new one.The new basket was identical to the original and PartSelect.com was the only source I found that had it in stock. I took the old handle off the broken basket with a screw driver and snapped it in place on new basket, job done.

No Tools Required! unclip the end caps of the slide rails, slide the upper rack out of the dishwasher. Remove the broken Wheel Mounting Strip from the rack and replace with the new unit. Re-assemble the rack into the dishwasher and re-fasten the end caps. Don't forget to get the appropriate accolades from your spouse!

Simply took old parts off and replaced them with new parts - no tools required.

Removed the handle from the old basket and put it onto the new basket. The new basket is great!

take handle off old basket put on new basket done

seeing as how my husband was out of town, I inserted a regular flatware knife in each of the four slots that held the handle in place on the basket. I then slowly pushed down on the handles of the knives on opposite sides of each other to unlock the handle from two slots on the basket and then went on to push down on the other two flatware knives on the opposite sides...sure enough, the handle came right off...less than 5 minutes in all to take the old handle off from the old basket and then snap it into place onto my newly acquired basket.

My dishwasher started making a loud screeching noise so I took apart the bottom assembly of the dishwasher to see where the noise was coming from. I found the part that had come loose and went to partselect.com to see if I could find the replacement part. I quickly found the part and the price was very reasonable. The repair was fairly easy. Once I pulled out the bottom rack in the dishwasher I unscrewed the plastic piece that held the rotating spray assembly. Once that was unscrewed 3 pieces were removed. A nutdriver was then used to remove a large cover at the bottom of the dishwasher. Once it was out of the way I could reach the discharge housing assembly with the nutdriver to remove it. I swapped the parts over to the new discharge housing then reassembled and it works like new again!
