Well disassembly was good - removed the spring cam assembly on the dump valve cam, then two screws of the solenoid to remove the solenoid, beyond that the repair became a little tough since the seal / shaft retainer wasdifficult to remove. The shaft has a grove which the retainer clip is hard to remove from, and once removed - it deform ...

Just set it in as it was exactly as described and ordered.

Just plopped it in, it fit perfectly! I love it! Very easy to order the part, and very fast shipping! I order it and it took a day to get to me!

Pulled the dishwasher out and turned on its back and pulled out the seal. Saw it was bad and order one. It was here in two days and fixed that afternoon. Great service and quick delivery!!! Will use this site again!!

At first, I found a metal band that was rusted and loose, replaced it but still had a leak. I went to the diagnosis section and identified another area of problem, ordered the part and got super quick delivery. With the help my wife I was able to pull apart, repair and get the unit to run and stay dry. Wife is happy because she loves th ... Read more e décor of our old but now dry dishwasher.

Ordered a new basket it was a little large as I ordered the wrong size. I just broke of the tabs that held it in and now its perfect and larger !!!! Simple and great service !!!

Ordered the part and installed...easy and great prices.

Pulled out the old and rolled in the replacement. The easiest part of the repair was ordering from the PartSelect website and receiving it via FedEx Ground the next day. Thank you PartSelect. Even my husband could have been successful with this.

Followed easy instructions and completed repair in less than 30 minutes.
