Dishes weren't getting clean and machine was noisy - Observed cracked rubber hose in upper tray
Purchased new hose from you guys - it came within a few days at a very reasonable price ($17, incl. shipping). Pulled the upper tray out, pulled out the old hose (underneath the upper tray near the rear end) and installed the new one. Once I had the new part the whole repair took about 5 minutes - It was a simple friction fit, easily done by hand. The dishes are sparkling clean now, just like the old days, and the machine is much quieter! Delightful experience! And doing it myself probably saved me at least $150 I'm sure.

Broken door catch
Removed two small screws on door edge, pop out broken part, insert new part, replace screws. Took 2 minutes 18 seconds. Nice to have various door catches in the Kit. This was a repair on a 1979 Whirlpool Dryer. Great price & service!!

Dishes on upper rack not clean
Followed instructions of previous users; removed the old tube, applied dishwashing soap to ends of new tube for lubrication and "slipped" on. Also replaced bottom strainer which had deteriorated. The parts diagrams from PartsSelect were very helpful.

Dryer door would not close and latch on both catches w/o pushing them shut individually.
Our make/model was not on the online instruction, but it was similar. Ours had a glass (plastic)front window in the door. To remove the top catch you had to take out the top four screws that hold the door together (philips head screws) allowing you to pull back the gray plastic strip to access the top latch, then replace it like in the online directions using a needle nose pliers. The bottom catch, once the two remaining the screws were out gives you access to the bottom catch. Remove it with the pliers and snap the new ones into place. You can completely take out the window when you replace the bottom latch if you want.

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.
