Dishwasher wasn't draining completely
I took it apart to look for foreign objects in the drain pump. Everything was clean. Decided the check valve in the connecting elbow of the drain tube was leaking, allowing water to run back from the drain tube into the sump. Ordered new drain tube. It came rolled up in a cardboard box for shipping, but it had been rolled the wrong way, so it had a bend in it opposite to the way it needed to bend for installation. I thought later I should have put it into some hot water in hopes of softening it and bending it the right way. Instead I just forced it into position. I finally got it hooked up, after a fight. Maybe the heat of the wash water will relax the stresses in the tube in time. -- I posted a question about putting the thing back together. Got one answer, rather snarky. It was clear from the answer that the responder hadn't understood the question at all. So I posted it in a simpler form and got another answer from the same source, again, condescending and rather sarcastic, but useful. -- Putting the dishwasher back under the counter was very difficult due to peculiarities of kitchen construction. But it's finally back in there and seems to be working all right. At least it drains completely now.

Door balance broke
Actually your video lays it out very well. Went exactly as it shows and was very easy. I did not have to pull it out to the point I had to disconnect any water or electrical connections. Worked great! Replaced both sides as the new rollers turn and the old ones did not causing a horrible squeak when the door was opened or closed. Now, no noise at all.

Door flopped down due to broken chord on balance link
I'm a 74 yr old women and have always tried to do my own repairs. With the web it was so easy to locate the problem and order the part. The online repair demo video was so easy to follow. Really proud of myself. "I still got it".

Dishwasher wouldn't start because door wouldn't latch correctly. Detergent door would not close.
This was for two separate problems. 1) Bad Latch - The dishwasher door wouldn't close properly due to a defective latch, sensing that the door was open. Pulled down the door. Removed 12 torx screws. This separates the inner and outer panels of the door allowing easy access to the latch part at the top-center of the door. Remove the old latch, disconnect two wires. Reconnect the wires to the new latch and snap bak in place. 2) Detergent door not closing - Hard water caused heavy mineral build up getting in the way of the closing mechanism on the detergent dispenser. The open-all-the-time detergent door caused all the detergent to rinse away during the pre-wash cycle. With the door slightly up and the inner panel separated from the previous repair, loosen and slide out the control buttons at the top of the door with your hands. This will allow you to pull up and remove the outer door panel to give you access to the six screws holding the detergent dispenser in place. Remove the screws and one wire from the dispenser. Remove the metal bracket and plastic flap to replace the dispenser. Reverse the instruction to put everything back in place.

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.

Original chopper assembly had broken, was rattling and debris was blocking pump to upper spray arms.
Repair was straight forward. The video description was excellent. Pay attention to where the chopper assembly sits in the cavity, there is a second location closer to the impeller, but this is not where it goes.

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.
