Detergent cup wouldn't open during wash cycle
Firstly, I'm a 58 year old female and this repair was relatively easy for me, thanks to all the marvelous instructions on this site from others who made this same repair. Like the others, I removed the four lower screws on the INSIDE of the door along either outer edge. Before that, in error, I removed the four screws along the very bottom of the door, big mistake, hard to get them back in correctly. Removed the door panel and took out the 6 nuts from the dispenser cup, slipped the electrical clip thingys from the posts by slightly wiggling them straigt off, remember which color goes where. Cleaned the area around the old gasket and reattached the new gasket and dispenser cup. This was a little tricky holding it in place from the inside while using the nut drive on the outside. Whew! That was the hardest part for me. Thanks to all for the previous detailed instructions. I now have really clean dishes! Yay! Great feeling of accomplishment.
This dishwasher is over 20 years old and still works well. The door springs broke and the skematic shows 2 springs on each side. The spring kit only includes one spring for each side which is the primary spring. Removed the bottom access panel, shut off the water line and removed the water line. Removed the top screws which lock the dishwasher in the cabinet and pulled forward about 6 inches to fully expose the springs. Replaced the two big springs, one on each side and adjusted for maximum pull of door. The second small springs were not necessary. Pushed unit back into the cabinet, connected the water line and tested for water leaks. Cleaned and replaced access panel and the door is light as a feather.

Broken main door spring
Remove lower cover plate below door. Remove broken spring with needle nose pliers. Place plastic insert into upper spring loop and loop into hole on right spring hinge. Grab lower spring loop with needle nose pliers and insert through hole in lower frame base. Reinstall lower cover plate.
First of all, ordering the parts from PartsSelect.com was very easy to do, I found and paid for the part in about 10 minutes with only the model number.
Removed the screws holding the old flange. Pulled it out and put the new one in its place. Installed the screws.
After I was finished I looked at the instructions. I'm glad I didn't look at them prior to starting. They were actually confusing.
The detergent cup would not open during wash cycle
I removed the 4 lower Phillips head screws on the lower inside of the door.(thanks to a tip from Robert) This removed the front panel allowing access to the detergent cup. I removed the 6 screws holding the detergent cup. Removed the old detergent cup and gasket. Installed the new cup and gasket and reinstalled the front panel. Amazingly easy. Now it's on to my stove. I'm hooked on your website
the pump was not working so the dish washer would not drain
Removed the front covers on the bottom of the dish washer. I found it extremely difficult to stretch the belt over the second pulley so I soaked the belt in hot water for a few minutes to soften it. After I soaked the belt it stretched enough for me to work it into both pulleys. Don't forget to apply the grease (supplied with the belt) after the belt is installed.
Space too small to see just where to place belt - Plus the belt had to be put on at the bottom of the dishwasher.
My husband and I both tried to get belt around the pulleys according to directions that came with the belt. The space was just too small to work in. We ended up turning the dishwasher upside down! We could then see what we were doing....My husband finally got the belt on....He did end up with lots of small cuts of his hands from sharp edges. But we were so happy to get it fixed. We had priced new portables dishwashers at six and seven hundred dollars. We were thankful to be able to get the part for our 23 year old dishwasher. It is now working great.
Changed float switch to no avail! Ladeled out the water. Disassembled the entire pump unit inside down to the motor shaft and checked all pieces for trouble. Could find nothing wrong. Now trying to determine if the problem is in the timer or motor.
replaced gasket.Didn't fix leaking water problem.I believed that there was too much water in washer, when the problem occurred.Found that the float had soap build up in it making it too heavy,letting in more water than the washer can handle.Cleaned build up from float and problem seems to have disappeared.
remove panel on front to acess float @ float switch.Remove phillips screw to float switch,remove palnut from float shaft with 5/16 nutdriver.Remove float from inside washer.Reinstall new parts reverse order.
Locked door closed, removed lower access panels with 5/16" nut driver, removed old springs with needle nose pliers, put plastic piece on top curved end of spring and placed on slot in door bracket as shown on instructions with part. Did same thing for the other door spring, used the screw driver to stretch the springs down to the first hole in on the base of the dishwasher on each side. Replace the panels. Job done!
Had to reuse the original mounting bracket instead of the one that came with the replacement part (held on by 4 screws). Also had to turn each solenoid 90 degrees (a feature of the replacement part) so that I could reuse the original connecting wires. Dishwasher running very quietly now.
