the center screw in the impeller was too thigh, and the adjustable wrench wont hold the impeller still
I could not find a 90 degrees 1 inch car wrench and by them the impeller head wish is plastic was all run down so nothing will hold it, finally, I heat up a flat screw driver and cut the impeller near the head whit the help of a hammer , and them I could grab it with a pressure wrench and loose the screw up. finally the fix when fine and is working good. the parts are just the ones I need it. Thank you.

Machine would shut down during the wash cycle.
I read information on this website about the function of the high limit thermostat. I found that it was the problem by disconnecting the two wires on the thermostat and straight wiring to bypass it. This allowed the machine to work properly so I ordered the high limit thermostat. To replace the part I used a screwdriver to remove the instrument panel and replaced the high limit thermostat by disconnecting the two wires from the old thermostat and connecting the wires to the new thermostat. I then replaced the instrument panel. My machine is working properly again..

Leakimg a lot of water from under door.
Started down Parts Select list of possibilities. Replaced the door gasket (1/2 hour), still leaked. Replaced water deflectors (15 min), still leaked. Was looking at steam vent and read the repair submitted by "mary from Fountain Green UT". Removed and thoroughly cleaned the steam vent (1/2 hour). Stopped leaking and is working fine now. Repairs were very easy using Parts Select instructions.

Two clips that hold the right rear tines on the top rack broke.
I followed the PartSelect video that showed rotating the rack tine to the down position, then pushing that tine out of the two clips toward the right side of the rack. After removing the tine, push the broken clips off the drawer portion of the top rack. Installing the new clips on the drawer portion of the rack required a pair of pliers to snap the clip over the wire portion of the rack. Once the clips are in place, slide the tine removed earlier, horizontally into the clips. Rotate the tine upward until it snaps into the clip, fixing it in the upward orientation.

Broken Wheel
I removed the top dishrack by removing the front clips(stops) on the tracks. Then I removed both tracks by removing the back stops. Then I replaced 7 wheels. Then I replaced the tracks, dishrack and the front stops. The whole job took about 20 minutes.

Unusual noise, then not draining completely
My model was DU7600XS0. I disassembled according to the video and the parts diagram here. I found a piece of metal, a pebble, and a wrecked drain impeller. I cleaned out all the debris and began reassembly. I found that the chopper blade shipped with this kit has a lip and will not fit over the metal drain impeller sleeve on this model. It needs to, or else it will not screw together properly and the impeller will not be able to turn. My old one was undamaged, so I used that instead. Also, the large black wash impeller has a shaft that is longer than the original part and because of that, it would not screw on. Again, the original wash impeller was fine, so I used the old one. I replace the gaskets and screwed everything else back together. It works great now. No water is left after the cycle anymore and the sound it makes is back to normal. Money well spent on this kit!
