A gift portable dishwasher did not have the faucet adapter.
Found the adapter on Parts select through a google search. Unscrewed the existing faucet aerator and srewed in the adapter. The plastic shrink wrap holds the washer and screen in place, so don't open it until you're ready to install. Finger snug does it, only use the pliers to remover the old aerator from the faucet. Normally, I don't use pliers, but both of these parts were round and had vertical serrations to engare the plier teeth.

The water hose for the top rack of the dishwasher
My folks are 84 and 85. They thought they needed a new dishwasher. For less than $25.00 I fixed it. All it required to cut in 1/2 the old piece and remove it. That was the hard part it wanted to crumble. Then force the ends into the brackets of the dishwaser. Took about 3 minutes. It works perfectly. Thanks to your operator/service person. She explained it perfectly.

Rubber tube rotten. Bottom rack rusted/broken
Rubber tube went right in. Watched video on how to remove pieces that hold wheels onto rack. These pieces DO NOT JUST SNAP OFF as in the video, they break off, which renders them useless! So, spend the extra money and buy the pieces that hold the wheels onto the rack.
