The problem is I received the wrong part!
No way to repair since the wrong part was sent. I have sent numerous emails with order numbers, part numbers, model numbers BUT I have no return label to send this back and get a refund. Maybe this will get someone's attention. Pretty disgusted!

Dishwasher was not starting
Replaced interlock assembly as one of the possible causes. The replacement was easy, but this was not the final fix. I also replaced the water inlet valve, flood switch and finally found that there was large calcification within the drain tube assembly (not visible, but was blocking water). Got a new flexible tubing and new drain hose, plugged everything together and the dishwasher runs like new now. Watching for a potential leak from the drain tube to drain hose connection and mya need to tape it up, but so far so good...

Dish Washer not cleaning well, spray arms not turning much all ttree had mineral build-up and even trash in them.
Ordered and replaced all three spray arms. The upper and middle spray arms were quickly replaced with a net-driver and are now working much better. The lower spray arm required no tool, just turn it CCW and lift it up. After replacement lower spray arm is still not moving at all. Maybe the lower spray arm washer is defective or the pump is just not putting out enough water. Will consider further repairs or replacement of the dish washer, it is 13 years old and used daily.
