Leaking drain hose
Removed leaking drain hose under the dishwasher from drain pump and sink drain pipe. Fed new hose behind dw connected with new clamps to dw drain pump and sink drain pipe. Put in high loop under sink.
the threads on the conduit broke and caused a leak
I pulled the dishwasher out and turned it on found the problem. I took the part off to find it broken. ordered the part on a sunday afternoon and it was there on Wednesday in time to fix it before I had to fly home.
Water gushed from the main conduit. Dishwasher is not 2 years old.
First the parts took forever to get here and then the new main conduit nut was defective just as the original from the factory was. It would not thread correctly and had to be wet then forced by hand until the skin ripped off my fingertips.
Opened dishwasher after it completed a wash cycle. Found the rinse dispenser cap had come off during the wash and melted on the heating coil at the bottom of the machine. Pulled cap off of coil, made sure coil was not disturbed. Looked in various sites for cap. Finally found this site where I didn't need to order the whole mechanism and could order just the cap. Received the cap, screwed into the dispenser, fixed. The only problem I had was that there were two possible caps so I picked the one that was the same color as the original one. Project completed. Thanks
Imagine my frustration when my wife told me that she couldn't open the dishwasher door!!! After finding the part on Parts Select, which was easy (even though my model was no longer being manufactured - it told me that the part was compatible), and then seeing the picture of the part, I knew that I could fix this very easily......or at least hoped. The parts arrived in just a few days after ordering (which was also very easy. I replaced the door latch assembly AND the heater switch in less that 20 minutes, carefully noting and labeling which connectors went to which terminals (big thanks to digital cameras)and replacing the control panel. Worked perfectly! Initially faced with the prospect of replacing a dishwasher at $600+, I now have a perfectly functioning appliance for around $25.00 cost and very little hassle. I also found that spare parts for other appliances are very reasonably priced and will definitely go to Parts Select again before I panic and buy a whole new unit. Very very pleased.
My dishwasher filters were clogged by calcium scale
I just lifted out the old parts from the bottom of the dishwasher and replaced them with the new ones which seated securely with no problem. The extreme amount of calcium carbonate in the water in Barbados settles on anything that gets wet. We clean the parts in the dishwasher, tea kettle and any other device that gets hot water, about every six months but eventually the boiler scale clogs the works and, while I can boil the parts in vinegar to clean them, the new replacements are much better and more convenient.
We noticed spotting and just poor cleaning performance in the dw. It was particularly bad on the top rack. After removing the racks, it was clear that the gasket on the water fitting in the back of the dw-upper was about half gone. No tools were necessary. I just unscrewed the ring nut-gasket and replaced it with the new one. Finger-tight. If the old nut was stuck, a pair of pliers would have helped.
First I shut off water and unplugged pwr cord from washer.I then removed hose from connecting duct and remove connecting duct from washer. I then installed new duct and reattached hose to connecting duct. After installation I reattached water hose then plugged back in pwr cord.
