Product review (1 stars): Perfect TEMPORARY part
This part fits fine, and works for a while, but as others have said, it's a cheap plastic part that cannot stand up to repeated use. The same can be said for the entire dishwasher (MDB5601AWB2). Since we bought the house in 2011, we have replaced no less than 10 parts, some multiple times. Sick of it. We are a family of 6. Doing dishes by hand for that many is hell. Amazon is great, the third party distributors are great, but Maytag/Whirlpool suck.  Next part that breaks that is ~$50 bucks will be the death knell for this piece of junk dishwasher. Gotta run-have dishes to wash...again.
