What is the part (#6) which looks like the door seal around the tub?
I believe that is what is causing leaking on the bottom left edge of our dishwasher.
Is that part available to purchase?
For model number MDBH970AWB
Hello Ted, thank you for your question. The item 6 on the door is actually the Inner Door Foam Insulation Strip. It is used to create a waterproof seal that helps prevent leaking from the door area of the dishwasher. However, we definitely recommend the item 7, PS11747685, which is listed as Bottom Door Seal which are two little seals on the door. Good luck with this repair.

For model number MDBH970AWB
Hi Barbarba, thank you for contacting us. We have researched the model and would recommend checking the door latch and switch assembly, part number PS11748729. A faulty door latch might not detect if the door is closed properly and might cause the dishwasher to stop mid-cycle. Checking the latch assembly for continuity using a multimeter might help. Good luck with the repair!
The hardest thing was figuring out that you only need to purchase the latch handle because it only comes as a complete latch assembly, why they even list the latch assembly as a separate part in the parts list stupid. (you get the handle and latch already put together and it cost less than the latch assembly without the handle). Anyway all you need to do is disconect the power from the dishwasher (unless you like to live dangerously like me) take your drill with the correct size torx bit and remove all the screws on the inside door pannel (the top center two screws actually hold the latch assembly in place). Disconect the 4 wires from the old part and reconect them to the new part and reinstall all the torx screws being careful not to strip the plastic threads that they screw into if you are using a drill. Whole process takes less than 5 minutes. I am surprised that Maytag used such a flimsy handle assembly in their dishwashers since they are supposed to have the repair men with the most time on their hands. They probably sell just as many handle assemblies as they do dishwashers that have this particular part in it, probably more since you will probably have to change it 2 or 3 times during the life of the unit.
I Followed others' instructions already posted to replace the whole handle assembly. In particular, use a big screwdriver placed against the bottom of the handle and whack the grip with the palm of your hand to get the handle to move back to the open position so you can open the door and start the job. I am no handyman, but this fix was easy, about 30 minutes in all, most of which was spent figuring out which breaker to pull so as not to get shocked. One note of caution: use the correct screwdriver attachment (not a Phillips head or regular, but a star or something- see I am not a handyman but I do have a $15 screwdriver set that just paid for itself 10 times over!).
Remove the 8 or 9 torx screws holding the inner and outer door assembly together (leave the bottom screws in), lift the old handle assembly out, transfer the switches to the new handle assembly, and reassemble door.
