Product review (5 stars): Wow! Simple to install and works perfectly!
Wow! I've never cracked open an appliance to fix it before so I was apprehensive about this. When I read how easy it was and thought about the savings, I had to try. The door of my Amana ADB1500AWS had been sticking for a while. This week it finally stuck shut for good, and I had to use a small flathead screwdriver slid in under the handle in order to force the latch by pushing from the outside. Then it was broken for real. Well, buying this latch assembly was worth it-- it was a total success! Here are the steps I took...

1. I got my supplies together. I ordered this and&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/DEWALT-DW2067-Torx-Insert-Bit-Set-7-Piece/dp/B0000DD6LV/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">DEWALT DW2067 Torx Insert Bit Set, 7-Piece</a>&nbsp;for my ratcheting screwdriver. I ordered them using 2-day shipping, but I actually received the stuff in just one day.

2. With the T20 torx bit in my ratcheting screwdriver, I opened the dishwasher door and removed all 11 torx screws from the inside perimeter of the door, including the top center two that held the latch assembly in place. I washed the screws and the inside of the door under the screw locations because they were dusty, and then I removed the door's inside plastic panel and set it to the side. The inner door panel was connected by wires-- I didn't disconnect them, so the inner panel was attached the whole time even though the panel was set to the side.

3. The old latch assembly had only been attached by the door's two center screws that I'd already removed and two pairs of wire plugs. Without tools, I pulled out the latch assembly including the door handle and disconnected the wire plugs.

4. I plugged in the new latch assembly the way the previous one had been connected, and dropped it into its place, handle first.

5. I returned the inner door to its correct spot and put the screws back in tightly.

6. I closed the dishwasher door and appreciated the assured "click" and the door's satisfying ability to open by a smooth, easy motion of the handle. I closed the door and began a cycle to make sure it would start. I opened the door after the cycle started to make sure the dishwasher would pause. Everything worked perfectly.

This was a big win for me-- a money saver, a convenient-easy-practical fix, and confidence-builder, too! It would have probably taken more time to even get a repair-person out here for the initial visit!
