Soap Dispenser Cover Would Not Open All The Way
Removed dispenser cover by using flat screwdriver, then slid the lid hinge pin and lid spring by pushing the lid hinge pin out on the silverware trade side. Then I put the lid hinge pin back into its place, once started I put the lid hinge spring on the lid hinge pin and pushed the pin into place, used flat screwdriver to put the lid spring in place, then I snapped the soap dispenser cover on the lid hinge pin. It took me about 5 minutes to remove and replace these parts, a very easy repair.

Broken bracket on middle arm spray
I watch a brief repair video but when I got the parts it was even easier than the video to install. I'm a 45 year old female and I had no problems getting the right parts and installing them properly.

Leaking during cycle
I replaced the seal, still leaked. Once I noticed that it was only leaking from the left side, we did a Google search to find that the screen in the upper left of the door could be the issue, causing back pressure. Once the screen was cleaned, no more leaks.

Not draining
The dishwasher was making grinding noises and then stopped draining at all. I was able to follow the video directions and replace the parts from the drain and wash impeller kit, but it did not solve the problem. Must be the pump or something else. Was worth a try and partselect.com was good with service and price.

Water supply tube for upper rotating spray arm was broken/missing.
Found the water supply tube in the bottom of the dishwasher, decomposing and half-melted. Took a while to figure out what it was, where it came from. Found replacement parts I needed very quickly on this site. Removed existing hardware, installed new parts in their place. Quick and easy, all the way around.

Soapy spots remaining on dishes
I followed the directions of the repair video. It was almost right on. I had to use a needle nose plier to get the old shaft seal out of the bottom instead of a screw driver. And the video showed the wrong placement of the 2 check-balls in the bottom. They both sit together in the same pocket in my unit, not separated at each end of the water channel as in the video. The parts diagram is correct. Note that after doing this repair I ran 1 cycle of dishes then my water valve failed. So I had to replace that too. My machine now runs like new with all dishes coming out clean and sparkling.
