Replacing Bottom Door Gasket
After reading the instructions. The old part came with the use of needle nose pliers very easily. Replacement was just as easy. I just lined up the part and made sure it went all the way in, and I was done. Didn't have to call a repair service to make the replacement and saved at least $100 or more with buying and installing the part myself. Will use this site in the future if needed. Very pleasant experience.

Dishwasher was leaking
This tip concerns the bottom door gasket. The information they missed in the installation video is that the slot that the gasket fits into is hidden. It is NOT the slot the technician initially lifts up on to insert the gasket. You really can't see it unless you take the front cover off the door. That's what I finally did to understand how the gasket fits in the door. As you insert the gasket be sure to keep it flat against the backside of the panel you are lifting up on, otherwise you will miss the slot altogether. Also, the way my gasket was shipped was a problem - it was sent in a small bubble pack and the gasket was sharply bent and kinked, making it almost impossible to install. Make sure it's flat and straight before trying to install.

lower gasket on dishwasher popped out
Taking out the old lower gasket was easy. Installing the new one wasn't. I removed the outer door and slipped in the new gasket into the sleeve on the lower inner door and pushed it in until only a small amount of the gasket was showing. Closed the door and the gasket was NOT slightly sticking out as the video shows but was laying down on a curved plastic part. Opened the door and the gasket popped out. I really think I installed it correctly but it never stayed in place. Upon further investigation I noted different brands had the same problem (maytag, amana, ge). Because of poor design I have now called a serviceman.

Door was leaking
It was a 2 or 3 minute job. I grabbed the seal on the far right side of the door (it sticks out a centimeter or so), and pulled it out towards the inside of the dishwasher After that I ran folded paper towels from side to side in the slot until they came back clean. The first time I tried to slide the new one in it just dropped into the door. It turns out that on my dishwasher the slot that the seal goes into is a bit further back than what you can see from the top. I lined it up again, but this time I reached my fingers into the slot and held it up until it slid in. Even with dropping it in the door and fishing it back out I was done in 3 minutes or less. No more leaks

Dishwasher leaking from the bottom of the door
Bought tub rubber gasket and door gasket online. Neither came with instructions. I went to you tube and found videos that matched my model dishwasher. Only problem was the installation of the gasket for the door. it's plastic and the video said to put it in one way which I did but it did not work. There is a notch in the gasket and watching the video, as you're facing the dishwasher with the door open the notch goes to the right. Dishwasher still leaked. I reversed the gasket, with the notch to the left and that seemed to solve it.

The first bottom door gasket I received was defective.
After ordering the tub gasket and splash shields I ordered another lower door gasket. It was 1/16 of n inch to long but fixed the problem. Did spend a lot of money to get it fixed as called an expert who came over to the house.--Larry

Some of the silverware slip thru the silverware holder. During the drying cycle the exposed silverware was to close to the arm and melted an area of the arm which caused water to seep out onto the kitchen floor.
To remove the spray arm just squeeze the sides pull up and replace the new lower spray arm in it's place. Just push down.

Our dishwasher spray arm got stuck on a rogue dish and melted on the heating element
The spray arm simply clips to a base in the center of the dishwasher tub. The repair takes 30 seconds - the lower rack slides out, twist the base of the old spray arm to lift it off, and snap the new one on.

Dishwasher didn't drain and made a loud buzzing sound during the discharge cycle
1. I unplugged the unit from the electrical outlet, shut off the water supply and disconnected the drain line from the garbage disposal. 2. I removed the bottom access panels, unfastened the DW from the counter top and slid it out as far as it would go without straining the hookups. 3. I removed the racks, lower sprayer and filter components from the well and bailed as much water as I could with a plastic cup. 4.After placing an old bath towel underneath I disconnected the water supply hose at the DW and pulled the drain line and electric supply line through the cabinet wall and then removed the DW to the garage where I set it upside down on some old towels until it finished draining. 5. I located the drain pump, compared it with the replacement part and took a picture with my phone to record the correct orientation of the drain hose connection. 6. After disconnecting the power supply and drain hose from the drain pump I removed and replaced it with the new one and reconnected the power supply and drain hose. 7. After inspecting the DW for signs of other problems and finding none I righted the DW and returned it to the install point. 8. I drilled a new hole in the cabinet wall near the top because the previous installer failed to provide a means for the discharge siphoning to occur; that's probably what led to premature failure of the pump. 9. I fed the discharge hose through the new upper access hole and the power supply through it's old access hole and then reconnected the water supply at the DW. 10. Being careful not pinch, kink or stress any of the hookups I slid the DW back into it's nook and reconnected the drain hose to the garbage disposal and plugged in the power supply. 11. I turned the water supply back on and, with a flashlight, checked for any leaks under the DW. Seeing none I reinstalled the cabinet mounting screws, replaced the filter components and lower spray arm then ran the DW on the short wash cycle to test the fix. 12. Once the test was complete and everything worked correctly I checked the DW for level, made a minor adjustment accordingly, then reinstalled the racks and lower access panels. JOB DONE!
