Water tube under top dishwasher rack deteriorated
I found the part on the parts display, but somehow ordered the wrong part. It was clearly wrong, so I ordered the right part and followed the instructions on the packing slip to get a refund on the first part. I got a refund promptly from PartsSelect to my PayPal account. The Instant Repairman video was very, very helpful. The video said that the water tube was held in place with a split ring, so just open the split ring to remove the tube. My plastic ring was NOT split and I could not remove the old piece. The video gave me confidence to take a pair of pliers and cut my plastic ring and made it a split ring. This little modification made removal of the old piece and installing the new piece easy. That video was perfect for the job! The comments from previous parts users show that they, too, had to cut the ring, and that the new tube was not identical to the old tube. No sweat -- it works fine!

Upper Spray Arm Mount Broken
Considered having it repaired because new part in did not look like original. Watched video in which he mentioned it had been replaced with a new part and did a quick how to. I ordered the replacement part and thanks to the information and video replaced the mount in 10 minutes. I'm not sure how much I saved, but am very glad I did it myself. Thanks.

Top of the Soap Cap Latch was broken
The top of the latch was broken on I had to push the plunger back through the mounting to get it out. ai had to pull the whole assembly apart to get the locking nut out. i remove the latch assy and took about 10 minutes to figure out how to put it back together. Changing it with the help of the video wasn't hard but confusing at times. Thanks for the video.

Soiled Dishes after wash cycles completed
Turns out it was just a broken nut due to a jam up with the lower spray arm .It was nice to find the problem , order the part , & fix it without involving my plumber son. The gentleman I dealt with on the phone could not have been anymore helpful ! It really was quite simple , But being 50+ yrs. old , it's nice to feel self sufficient. Also replaced the soap cover.

The dishwasher failed to start.
Initially, I was going to call a repair-person to fix the dishwasher, but decided to check and see what was available on-line. I was very surprised to find a video on YouTube for my specific model. Even more surprising was the relative ease to perform the repairs, after watching the video. I have the proper tools, so I disassembled, per the video and found the problem. I was elated to see how easy it was to order the parts kit. It came in three days, and within 1/2 hour after parts arrival, I had the dishwasher purring like a kitten. What an excellent service. If you can turn a screwdriver, you can fix your appliance, via these well-done videos.

The machine was not draining properly and dishes were not being cleaned thoroughly
The video was great! I couldn't have done it without it. The repair took me a little longer than expected because I did not have the right tools (torx head screwdriver), but once I went out and bought it, the rest was fairly easy. The old impeller had some build-up on it, so it was pretty hard taking it off the motor shaft: this was one of the hardest parts, since I was afraid of forcing it out and breaking something. Once I cleaned up the motor shaft, however, the new impeller went in easily. Both the old impeller and washer seal were damaged. Overall, I was very happy with Partselect's fast shipping, easy-to-use website and incredibly helpful installation videos. The machine is now not only NOT leaking anymore, but dishes are coming out MUCH cleaner. The dishwasher is over ten years old, so I was happy that this low-cost fix made such a big difference and we didn't have to buy a whole new dishwasher.

water running out from under the front door
I suddenly found my dishwasher with a puddle of water across my kitchen floor. Checking the door seals showed me all of them seemed ok. I figured I was going to be out $700-$900 dollars for a new one. First I checked the internet, and thank goodness came across PartsSelect web site. I started reading posts from people with the same problem I had, and the way they fixed it. Not only do they have schematics of the parts for all of the dishwasher, but for some repairs even had a video showing how it was done. Most people stated it was the Pump outlet seal, due to a lose screw from the pump. Sure enough I found a screw in my washer and realized I could see some of the seal sticking out. With the parts numbered it was easy to order what I needed, and shipping was so fast. When I got my parts I did what the video said and in less than 30 minutes had it up and running. $38.15 with shipping was a whole lot better than $700. I am VERY satisfied. I got two seals and a bearing ring, which I needed, for that price.

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.
