Keep searches simple. Use keywords, e.g. "leaking", "pump", "broken" or "fit".
No water pressure
I cut the breaker and disconnected the in and out water lines, then removed the washer. Once on its side, I took it apart until I found what was broken. The chopper unit had broken and parts were sucked into the pump. After going online and finding/ordering all the parts, I cleaned everything and put it back together so as not to lose anything. When the parts came in,it was an easy job to replace the broken parts and have it back in use. The repair would have cost over $350 and my parts bill was less than $90. Thanks

Wanted to match new ss stove
Removed about 8 screws. (Needed a "star" screwdriver for the screws.) Pulled the front panel off. It was stuck in places to the foam sound deadening instulation sheet, but taking the putty knife and sliding between insulation and old front worked pretty well. A couple of large pieces of foam cracked off, but once the front was off, I just used duct take and put them back together, then put on new front. One thought....if you want the old nameplate, which in my case was "KitchenAide" it would have been best to lay the old front on top of the new front to see where the holes needed to be drilled in the new front, and put the branded plate on before installing the new front. The name plate had two screws as part of the molded nameplate, which passed through the front and were held on with two friction nuts on the "inside" of the front. It isn't really needed, but it breaks up the solid front and looks nice. However, in my case, I didn't think to do that. So.....I cut the screws off with a hacksaw, smoothed the back with a file, and used epoxy to glue it on the new front once it was on. The epoxy seems to be holding just fine.

leaking water out of the bottom
I goggled kitchen aide parts. This is the site I chose. The site was so easy to use. I found my problem listed and the site showed me the part needed which was an inlet valve. I ordered the part without any problems. It was very easy. Received the part as scheduled. My husband installed the part. I could have done it myself because the site shows step by step instructions with pictures. I have told everybody I know how impressed I am with site. I thought it was for Kitchen Aide appliances only. I just discovered this site has parts for many brands and types of appliances. I will now tell everyone to use this site anytime they need parts for their appliances. I'll continue using this site myself. Thank you for a painless repair experience. My dishwasher works great again.

Washer wouldn't spray water, just heard a humming noise.
Disconnected power. Pulled racks out. Unscrewed off counter. Turned off water disconnected water and drain lines. Pulled unit out. Disconnected wiring pulled clips off old pump. Popped out old motor. Wetted down gasket on new pump. Pushed down with a wooden spoon. Put back together in reverse order. Pretty easy. Well worth the money

Sound of a bearing wearing out, louder than normal operation
Removed the screws under the counter, retracted the leveling bolt jacks, turned off power to unit, turned off water supply to unit and made sure that all the water was out of the unit. Disconnect supply and drain lines. slide out unit from under counter and put protection over the door then lay it over onto the door. unplug the motor remove the screw that holds the motor in place, turn the motor counterclock wise, wiggle the motor in a side to side motion and it will come right out.(GLOVES ARE RECOMENDED FOR THIS OPERATION). Use cooking spray or olive oil on the O-ring. line up the arrow on the pump housing with the arrow on the pump motor and put the unit back together in the reverse order. Test the unit with a operation of a quick rinse to check of leaks. This is a very easy repair.

Installing a new dishwasher in a remodeled Kitchen
I remodeled my kitchen with new cabinets. In order to better utilize cabinet space, I located the dishwasher away from the sink, which means that I had to have a longer drain hose. The store I purchased the dishwasher from didn't have a longer hose, so I went online and found it on this website. Thanks for the quick shipment. I ordered it using standard delivery and received it in less than three days. I have book marked this website for future use.

Upper rack support on my Kitchenaid Dishwasher broke
This company is the BEST! I am so glad I found them. I ordered the part on a Sunday, it shipped Monday, arrived Tuesday, and I was able to repair the rack that night! Super easy - just took the end caps off, removed the broken support, and snapped the new one in place in minutes! Saved myself a hefty repair bill!

Loud Grinding Sound - Pump Motor and Impeller Unit
The dishwasher made a loud grinding sound when it ran. We looked at new dishwashers and they're still basically the same, but the $$$ is so high. We looked at the reports PartSelect.com and after reading the reports, decided it was the pump motor/impeller unit and ordered it online. FIRST, read all the other installation stories. It will save you time. You will save unnecessary steps. In the end, it wasn't actually as bad as it sounded. So, here are the steps I took to install the new pump motor with impeller unit. ONE: turn off the water supply TWO: turn off the power (I had a dedicated circuit breaker just for the dishwasher)THREE: disconnect the water supply at the pipe(not the dishwasher) FOUR: Disconnect the drain hose at the drain(not the diswasher)FIVE: remove whatever screws are holding the unit inside the base cabinet SIX: pull out the diswasher(carefully watch the wires, hoses and insulation) SEVEN: tip the dishwasher forward (lay it on rags, watch for water)EIGHT: Disconnect the electrical supply plug to the pump (it's a plug-type connection, squeeze the edges to release)NINE: remove the one bolt holding the motor on the pump assembly and the heat sheild(you'll need a ratchet with extension) TEN: turn the pump motor counter-clockwise and pull it off. ELEVEN: align the arrows on the new motor of the pump and mounting assembly. TWELEVE: clean the o-ring on the pump and lubriate with drying agent THIRTEEN: place the motor on the pump assembly rotated counter clock-wise a bit past the bolt hole and press until it seats. FOURTEEN: turn the motor clock-wise to engage the locking mechanism and align the bolt hole. FIFTEEN: replace the bolt and heat shield. SIXTEEN:reconnect the power plug SEVENTEEN: tip-up the dishwasher, slide the unit back under the cabinet. EIGHTEEN: reconnect the drain, water, and power. NINETEEN: turn-on the water and restore the power TWENTY: test(start a wash cycle) the unit to be sure it doesn't leak. TWENTY: if all is good, replace screws holding the dishwsher in the cabinet(otherwise you will have to back-track to find your error - I didn't). And that's it! Now it's running smooth and silent, just as before. Good luck!
