Water leak from center of motor unit
Removed dishwasher, take to garage, removed lower rack to gain access to top of motor unit. Used star socket wrench to remove upper screws holding top of unit in. Disconnect wires, drain tube and counter weight. pulled motor unit out from inside dishwasher and placed on bench. Proceeded to disassemble motor. Some things were obvious, others not so. replaced old worn out parts with new, used a little lube (Vaseline) in places to assist in getting seals back in place. Instructions were of little help need to pay close attention when tearing unit apart. Reassembled with new seals, installed motor and re-installed dishwasher...NO LEAKS!! Wife and I happy.

Dishwasher door would hang open with no tension
My dishwasher is an under the counter mounted model. No need to pull it out or move it. I used a screwdriver to remove the casing on the bottom of dishwasher. I then removed another piece that was just behind this casing. When this was done I could see where the springs were on either side of machine right in the front, - easy access. I followed the directions that came with the part. Three simple pieces came in clear bag. You first put plastic red end onto end of long metal piece and put it through the spring. Hook it into place by catching one end of spring. I took notice of how broken springs were hanging in machine and then replaced the new spring. I hung one end of spring on the hook and then pushed other end with red plastic piece through to catch the notch. (You can adjust placement for door tension considering there are at least three notches.) Space was tight so I held onto free end of spring with needle nose pliers and pushed it through with my fingers to the notch. I almost called a repairman to do this for me. That would have been an expensive way out of an extremely easy repair. ANYONE can do this as long as they have finger dexterity. I am thrilled to have a perfectly functioning dishwasher door again. The parts were perfect and much cheaper than buying from Sears or elsewhere.

Coating on the rack has worn exposing the metal underneath
There were no instructions with the part, but looking at the old rack it was simple to see how the parts should be assembled. Took the center part from the old rack, twisted off, and applied it to the center of the new rack. Snapped on the wheels and was done. Very simple assembly.

Both outside door handles turned very beige
Everything worked perfectly---thanks to the suggestion of your call center agent. She suggested that since the replacement door handles were no longer available, I should consider repainting them--it worked like a charm. Please tell her she was a life saver. We rent that house in Fl and my returning tenants had complained about the discoloring refer handles. Thank you

The original faucet adapter for portal dishwasher kept misting water out the sides of the adapter most annoyingly.
So I decided to stick in some CLR to see if it would clean it up. Well it got considerably worse. So ordered the new faucet adapter, threaded adapter and the two washers, due to not knowing what i would need. It came like unbelievably fast considering it was Christmas time. Unscrewed the old one from the faucet, screwed on the new one. hooked up the dishwasher, watched it for a bit for any leaks at the connection, and it worked great! I seem to have more water pressure too coming from the sink faucet. Thank you so much for the quickness in sending out my order! -- Scott

dishwasher was overflowing
actually my wife did the repair. she unsrewed the water sprayer and removed it, then unscrewd the star key screws and then replaced the seal. she put everything back the way it was and it is now ready to use and we no longer have the problem.
just a suggestion...if you take some baking soda and some vinager you can clean the drain out. just simply poor in the soda and then the vinager.and it will fiz cleaning your drain.
