You can find more specific instructions in the service manual. - The part number for the dispenser water valve AP3464761 - The part number for the main control board AP3449382 - Here are the break down diagrams for the Maytag Neptune washer Model MAH6500AWW Gene.

The parts diagram doesn't seem to show a solenoid for this model. Which part is the most likely culprit and which components must be removed in order to access it? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

This part does not come separate and you have to replace the whole dispenser assembly. - The part number for the dispenser assembly is AP252043 Here are the break down diagrams for the Maytag Neptune washer Model MAH3000AWW Gene.

The top cover seems to be held down by the top cover spacers and the corner braces. Perhaps I have to remove the door and the shroud brackets first? Or is there a quick release for the top cover?
