DU2J3V Magic Chef Dishwasher - Instructions

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.

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.

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.

Actually following the online video is the way to go.

Video on website made the repair easy

Kill power to unit. Lower door. Hold down door and remove inner plastic door cover torx screws, rotate up and use inner door cover to brace outer spring loaded door from closing. lift off metal strap that runs along top edge of door. Unsnap black plastic cover.Latch is under cover. Unplug wires with pliers (they just pull off) after noting where they go. Unscrew single hex head screw and remove latch assembly. inside latch will be reused with the new latch switch holder. Pry up plastic clip keepers and remove inside latch. Depending on age they might break, no big deal you will use the new holder anyway. orient and install switches into holder, install inner latch and install assembly back onto door. Install wires, cover, metal strip and inner door in reverse order. Very easy to do. Parts worked perfect.

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.

My husband removed the screws that hold the inside panel in place to expose the contral panel area. He disconnected the wire connections and removed the part to replace. One of the relay housings cracked and he had to glue it back together before he could reassemble the whole thing. I did not include drying time in the repair time estimate. After reassembly, the dishwasher worked like a charm.
Many thanks to PartSelect.com and my husband!
