Door Seal had to be replaced
Old door seal simply pulls out of stainless steel "u" channel. The new seal is designed to slip into "u" channel. A very simple repair.

New Door Seal Gasket pulls out when dishwasher door opens.
Had to call and place another order for a special glue that bonds stainless steel to rubber gasket.
The special glue part number is:
PS382760 Silicone Adhesive $18.82
I ordered this special glue (instead of using something like liquid-nails from Home Depot because I had a concern about chemical safety of having a glue that might leech into the dishes during a wash cycle.
The install instructions for the gasket (PS3418214 )does not call for having to use a glue to secure the gasket to the dishwasher.
The install was really easy because you just push it into the opening all around the front of the dishwasher.

Dishwasher was leaking, old gasket had small hole in it.
First off I want to say thank you part select for being on the internet. I called my local appliance repair parts department. They wanted 30 dollars more than what I got it from you guys. Anyway I took the old gasket off, cleaned the area to put the new one on and it just slipped right into place. I think the cleaning took longer than replacing the gasket.

door seal came off and it leaked water
I took a screw driver and pushed it in the groove nice and tight. It worked out well but I would liked to have had some instructions. Then I cut the bottom excess off the seal.

The old retainer clip had worn down and was not holding the spray arm in place anymore.
I removed the old retainer clip, replaced it with the new one, and pushed the spray arm onto the new retainer clip. That's it!

Sealing gasket was at end-of-life.
1. Pulled out the old gasket (very easy. slid right out).
2. Carefully noted how it went in (so I could put the new one in correctly)
3. Measured the length of the new gasket. Unnecessarily worried that the new gasket appeared to be 2" shorter than the old one.
4. Cleaned the track and the general area around the dishwasher that rarely gets clean. Took 15 minutes.
5. Inserted the new seal, making certain it was fully inserted all along the track. It was a perfect fit.
6. Patted myself on the back and bragged to my wife that the job was done.
7. Life is good.

My dishwasher quietpartner ii was not cleaning my dishes. It seemed it was not heating correctly that the Hi temp wash or the heated dry.
I loooked up the main problems associated with that model which is provided on the website and ended up ordering a heating element and a thermostat. I replaced both parts it took me about 30 minutes. The dishwasher is working again and my wife is very happy. Thanks guys!!!

Washer would short-cycle and flash an error code - 7 blinks of the clean light -
The fault code suggests a problem with the washer's ability to maintain water temp. This could be caused by a failure of the tempurature sensor module, safety over-temp thermostat, or the heating element. First, I disconnected AC power at the Mains panel. I then verified that the heating element was indeed at fault by removing the dishwasher and disconnecting the leads to the heating element in the rear of the unit. I set a multi-meter to resistance and measured the element and found that it was electrically open, thus proving it was the part needing replacement. I then tested the replacement element and verified it showed low resistance. (Good). I then loosened the plastic retaining nuts with an adjustable wrench, removed the old element and replaced it with the new. The nuts were then re-installed and torqued with enough force to create a leak-tight seal as verified by pouring a gallon of water in the washer. I reconnected the leads and slid the dishwasher back into place and secured it to the counter with screws. I then turned power back on at the AC Mains panel.
