Removal and replacement of the gasket required no tools and took very little time. However, this did not solve the problem. I called in a repairman who determined the issue was the washer was not filling to the proper level. The control board was replaced and the problem was solved. This also quieted the washer a lot in that the pump was no longer sucking air.

Took the top rack completely out and replaced the part and put the top rack back in. Parts Select was very prompt in sending out the part, and customer service was very professional and accommodating. I would order from Parts Select in a heartbeat!!!

Had to find the leak first, which was a big process. Once found, it was a matter of removing the part, looking it up om partselect.com , ordering it and reinstalling which wasn't too difficult. The installation took about 45 minutes. I was psyched to find a website that could simplify this repair without calling a mechanic or plumber!

The first check was for any circuit breakers that tripped. Upon finding the circuit breakers intact, I removed the front panel from the dishwasher and verified power was up to the panel, which is was. I removed the kick panel and located documentation for schematics and troubleshooting. This led me to the bi-metal switch (non-resettable). After turning off the power, I checked the continuity across the switch and found it was open. Then I provided a short across the switch and turned the power on to verify panel was working properly, which is was. This verified the bi-metal (thermal switch) was the issue. I then ordered the switch and installed it per the instructions. While looking for the switch, I did run across another post suggesting the additional wire leads with the kit should be included since they act as a heat sink. With the new switch installed along with the additional wire leads, the dishwasher is working fine.

1.] I ordered the wrong part and I altered the contacts to make it work, it did'nt. 2.] Found out the right part # and could'nt hook it up cause I cut off the connection to adapt the first part. 3.] So I had to order an entire wire harness to get a small selenoid connecter. I made the connection and it still did'nt work. 4.] Ordered a control panel and when it came it was the wrong one. 5.] The company sent a new right control panel and BINGO! 6.] Say good night Gracie.

it was easy I saved alot of $$$$$.

I watched the video on your website, and I followed it to the letter. I find the service provided by this company extremely valuable to a person that is capable of doing his own repairs. Thank you, JAK.

The part was correct and I no problems installing it. Just make sure you tighten the brass elbow tight.

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.
