The dishwasher would not fill with water
I firts turned off power to the diswasher through the circuit breaker panel. I removed the black tray at the bottom front of the dishwasher, removed the two screws attaching the water inlet valve, detached inlet and outlet water hoses as well as the eletric connector. I removed fitting from the old valve and installed in the new valve using some teflon tape. Installation is the reverse of the removal.

Soap door would not stay closed
Removed the holding screws around the edges; removed and replaced the soap container; reconnected the electrical leads, and done... Very simple fix. But it does get a little tricky since the door is spring loaded. NOTE: THERE ARE SCREWS AT THE BOTTOM THAT IS NOT OBVIOUS.

A hole was chewed in the inlet sump by a rodent.
First thing to do is remove all the dishes or you will have an issue with broken dishes. Naturally you will need to get the dishwasher on it's front so you can get to the inlet. First remove the two screws holding the pump on to the frame of the machine. They are long and in a tight spot so a ratchet wrench works best, I think they were 8mm but maybe 10. Next take the clamp holding the pump on the sump. Give the pump a slight pull and it will come off, and set it out of the way. Next look for another clamp. Disconnect it. Finally you will look at the top where the sump goes into the actual washer itself. There are two "U" shaped clamps holding it on. From behine they will look like U's that are facing each other while laying on their side like this. (o) They are holding the sump on and their are two bolts in each. Once again, a ratchet wrench works best. Remove those bolts and give the sump a pull and it comes right off in your hands. Then reverse the steps and put it back together. Also ensure you cut the water off under the sink, to reduce the mess. Hope it helps.

Detergent dispenser latch was broken
I was offered a free dishwasher for the taking. The soap dispenser latch was broken. I ordered the part, it arrived two days later by standard delivery. The door cover has to be opened and seperated. The difficulty is that the door will not stay down or up without assistance. Once open, the dispenser is replaced by removing 6 screws from within the door compartment (between the door front cover and inside door wall. Two electrical leads must be removed and reconected to the new part. Removing them is problematic, since one connecter partially chipped off using pliers to gain a grip. After inserting the new part the 6 screws are installed from behind the part and the leads reconnected. There are two ribbon connectors for the control panel and display. They did not come loose so I left them connected, which made it awkward to manipulate the various parts with the door split open. Putting the ribbons in proper place was easy if careful. Securing the outside and inside halves of the door completes the repair. I found instructions on google. This was tricky but easy, as the door parts were often trying to move out of an accessible position for working. Otherwise it was one of the easiest things I have done. It would be easier with two people, and I had only one good arem to work with due to shoulder surgery, but it was successful. The dishwasher works fine, and the price was right at $45.00 in parts plus shipping for a top of the line model.

Jet Dry Rinse was not dispensing
Removed 8 screws from inside door cover. Opened the door and pulled off two wires from the detergent rinse dispenser with a pair of pliers and removed screws that held the dispenser in place. Removed the dispenser, placed new part in place and put screws back in and put wires back onto the dispenser. Closed cover and screwed back down. Easiest thing I've ever done.

Water would not fill.
Wow, could not have been easier. The suggested repair stated that the water inlet valve was the problem 93% of the time. And, it was spot on. It was the exact same replacement part. And, once installed, it worked like a charm. I have bookmarked this website, and will use it for all future appliance repair. I simply could not be more pleased. It was a breeze. Thanks,

The Springs broke on my dishwasher door
My wife said the door broke; we need a new dishwasher. It is not worth a $100 repair out of warranty. I checked this site the springs were about $4 each. When they arrived I unscrewed two screws holding the dishwasher to the counter; carefully pulled the dishwasher out from under the counter; found the broken spring replaced it and for good measure I also replaced the old working spring on the other side. The door now works fine. Total time less than a half an hour.
