Keep searches simple. Use keywords, e.g. "leaking", "pump", "broken" or "fit".
Some rack components were rusted and broken. Replacement was necessary.
Repair was easily performed by removing old parts and snapping new ones into place.
I woulsugest that you take a picture before removing the old parts so that you can correctly orient the new ones.

Dishwasher was not draining
Followed the instructions given on the video, for replacing the drain pump. I did not pull the unit all the way out of the counter space just pulled it out about a foot. I had to lie on the floor to change the pump. That cost me some time for removal and installation, but I did not have to disconnect any water or electrical lines. I did unplug the power. The exchange went smoothly accept for the one spring clamp. Hard to squeeze and slip on. Would have been better to use a different kind of clamp. I have arthritis so that was an issue. All in all a good experience. A Big Thank You !! to this site . There instructions were perfect, the site is very user friendly. They saved me the cost of hiring a repair person. I'm a 75 yr. old disabled female, if I can do it then you surely can.

Bottom Of The Door Was Leaking
First of all, I got the part 24 hours after I ordered it. That in it self was a feat. Second, I followed everyone elses instructions, pulled the old gasket out with a pair of needle nose pliers, cleaned the area as good as I could, found the notch for the slot on the gasket to slide into and viola...it slid in and stayed in. No more leakage whatsoever! Thanks for all of the tips!

Water inlet tube had worn a hole in it
Removed old hose and went to install new hose from Part Select. Part received was not the same as advertised. It was 6-8 inches shorter than the original hose. Would not make the necessary turns because of shorter length. I even went to Video instruction on installation even though I have been in Machine repair for 30 years , this video showed using the shorter hose and when installed in the video hose also had a kink because of hose length. Had to stop repair and go to hardware store and purchase a longer hose. This purchased hose from the hardware was 50% cheaper and actually worked. I also paid for 2-3 day shipping and received part 7 days later. I am very disappointed with Parts Select and am an owner of an Equipment Rental Facility and will never utilize Parts Select again.

Noisy Drain Pump
The drain pump was making a high pitched buzzing noise which told us that its days were numbered. When I ordered the pump I found out that the dishwasher was really made by Electrolux for Whirlpool. Taking the pump off was a simple matter of removing two hose clamps and prying the pump off the frame. The hard part was realizing that it just pulled off without damaging anything. The new pump easily slipped right in and the screw in hose clamp was easily installed. However, the hose clamp that required pinching with the pliers was not that easy. I had to use a screwdriver to push it all the way on while holding the clamp open with the pliers. All in all pretty easy.
