Dishwasher would not drain even though the pump made a humming noise
I turned off the power and the water then I pulled it out into the floor I used a pair of pliers to remove the hoses and disconnected the wires from the pump then I just reversed my steps i will add that the pump on mine was located low to the floor and it was a bit difficult to get the new pump on until I use a small pan to sit one side of it on to raise it up off the floor and then it was no problem getting the pump on . I’m 66 year old female and if I can do it so can you .Good Luck to all you self repair folks.

Water leaking, spray arm melted
This dishwasher is pretty old and I live in a rental. When I moved in, the dishwasher leaked every time and it would had been nearly impossible to get the landlord to do any work. I read other repair stories on partselect and figured out it was the spray arm assembly. At some point the arm got detached and laid on top of the heater coil. Once it was melted and the water holes were distorted, the water shot at the door in some way to leak out the front. I replaced the part by just pushing the center part until it clicked on the bottom---- no tools were needed! The dishwasher works like a champ now. The dishes get clean the first time and no leaks on the floor. I read from other comments that the part was blue and it didn't match the original color. That wasn't as important as having a functional dishwasher. The delivery was delayed because of the health crisis, but once the warehouse sent an email that the part was shipped, I received it as was promised. All in all, I was pleased with the service and part. If there is another situation in the future, I would definitely consider using partselect again. Thank you

Dishwasher Sprang a Huge Leak
I pulled out the dishwasher and found the inlet tubing had a tear in the accordion part of the tube. I searched online for the model number and was directed to PartSelect. I ordered the inlet tubing, and it only took a few days to get to me. I then watched the video and was able to install the new tubing.

PartSelect is a life saver and I saved lots of money by not having to call a repairman.

Spray arm melted and needed to be replaced.
The old part easily snapped off and the new part was snapped into place. No tools were needed. Very easy. Saved quite a bit by doing it myself instead of calling a repairman.

Dishwasher not draining
Remove lower front face by removing 2 screws. Turn power off at the breaker. Disconnect the power by removing the power cover screw and cover. This is located on the bottom right of the unit, next undo the wire nuts, and pull out the wires. Next turn off the water supply to the dishwasher. Then using an adjustable wrench disconnect the water line. Be careful it could bend. Once the power and water is removed gently slide out the unit. The pump is located on the right side under the dishwasher. Remove the to screws holding the pump in place. Unless the repair is done outside place a drain pan under the pump to catch any left over water. Next using needle nose pliers squeeze the clamp closest to the drain and pull the hose off. Pull out the pump, squeeze the second clamp, and remove the hose from the pump. Place hose on new pump and the work backwards installing the pump.
