Michael P Carriere , MS September 26, 2016 Appliance: Maytag Dishwasher DWU8260AAX Maytag Dishwasher Dwu8260aax: Broken "impeller assembly". How to replace Silverware Basket Assembly. The initial problem was just a simple blockage on the filter screen...until I dropped a screw. So, I had to take the rest of the insides apart to retrieve it. The original impeller would not come off easily, so I tried to pry it off. Naturally, that caused the threaded portion to break. The new impeller went on much more easily than the old one came off, and the dishwasher is back in action. Simple repair; there's really not much to the inside of this thing. 2 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes
