The plastic front end piece of the door balance kit broke
The dishwasher had to be pulled from under the countertop and the face at the base of the dishwasher required removal. The new piece was attached to the door spring, routed through the wheels and attached to the front attach point of the dishwasher. The face was reinstalled and unit was pushed back to under the countertop.

Link Cord From Door To Hidge Was Broken
There were actually slots cut in the side to place a screw driver to strentch the spring to attach it to the cord and plastic end. But the spring would not stretch far enough so took the intiative and drilled another hole to place screw driver and pry the spring far enough to attach the replacement piece. After that it was done. Fairly easy as you have the other side of the appliance to look at and can tell how the hidge on the side that needed repair should go. Very very easy after hole was drilled in frame.

I had not needed to install the mounting brackets that came with the dishwasher because the old counter top was 1 inch lower than standard and I was able to just wedge the dishwasher into the space and it would not tip.
I simply disconnected the power line to the dishwasher and pulled it out enough to install the mounting brackets. The installation manual that came with the dishwasher described how to install the brackets and I simply followed directions.

dish washer not filling with water.
There were a few possible causes for the problem. We started by making sure we didnt have a simple clog somewhere in the line. A pair of plyers and a screwdriver were the only tools I needed to check the water line in. Just turned the water off pullesd the dishwasher out and started checking lines. We couldnt test the inlet water valve except with a volt ohm meter so we left that and moved on to the float. The float seemed to be moving freely so we pulled the float switch out. I could easly see some electrical damage to the float switch and ordered the part from part select. Part took about 3 days to arrive and was a very simple switchout. We turned the water back on and and started the machine. All working.

W soap box catch broke
Found a video to replace. The part was replaced as the video described 12 screws on the door, 6 screws on the soap dispenser. The job went according to plan with no blue air due to unexpected problems. One comment on the shipment,, I was very impressed with the timely execution. The site said most deliveries completed in 1.8 days. Ordered on Wednesday afternoon, got it noontime on Friday. Could not have asked for anything more. Thank you.

Upper part of dishwasher would not clean
The first thing I did was watch all the how to video's. It looked simple enough for me to do this so I ordered the parts. I unplugged the dishwasher, took out both the baskets, and I am not sure what this is called but the whole tube thing that has the upper little spinner at the top. Replaced the spinner assy. Then on the upper basket there is a manifold at the end. The tip had broken off I took it apart and replaced it. This all took about 5 minutes, very simple. Then I took out the bottom spinner blade, then proceeded to remove the screws, lifted off the filter removed the screw that held the cover of the chopper assy. The chopper assy had fallen apart the only thing that was in one piece was the back plate. Took out all the broken pieces then attempted to put the new chopper assy back in. Now here is where I had problems. The chopper assy is spring loaded and there are a couple of groves and I was trying to put the assy in the wrong grove and it took me a long time to figure out I was doing this. I finally put the chopper assy in the correct grove, and put everything back together, and the dishwasher works wonderful again. I figured I saved myself over $1000 because I didn't have to go out and buy a new dishwasher. I am 53 and a woman, so I am pretty proud of myself for doing this. Am also very grateful for the video's which helped me fix my dishwasher.

Washer Cut Off Mid Cycle, Had Power, No Lights On Control Panel, Would Not Restart
I removed about 8 screws from the upper back of the door assemply to expose the control panel board. From there you could see the thermal overload (fuse. ) I followed the enclosed instructions and was done in about 20 minute. Turned the breaker back on and it immediately lit up and is operating.

the tine on the end rusted out and wouldn't stand up anymore
Pulled two clips off the rack and removed the tine row. Put the new tine row in, had to put both clips on at the same time. Very glad that the clips we had were not bad, because if they were, we would have had to order new clips too. They might consider including that with the tine row. Otherwise a fairly simple job.
