Motor starting making a terrible racket after installation 15 months earlier
Be sure to shut off power at circuit breaker and disconnect drain and water supply. Remove the dishwasher from the cabinet, lower it on its side. Remove three electrical connections from motor to various sensors. Remove three plastic wedges that secure the motor gasket to make a tight seal. The motor pops into the body of the dishwasher for removal. The replacement motor goes in just as you took it out. It took two people to set the motor right to ensure the good seal on the gasket for re-installation. Then turn it back upright and secure it in place. Couple suggestions, be sure to have ample towels around for leakage from water and drain lines. Be sure to cover the bottom of the dishwasher during disassembly and reassembly of the wash manifold. I dropped a screw in there and it took me some time to fish it out.
All in all, it went well. Don't pay a plumber for this job. I'm a clod and if I did it, you can.

The dishwasher would not dry (heat)
First I identified the problem by checking the plug ends of the heater coil with an ohm meter. I quickly odered the part and when it arrived a few days later, I simply pulled off the electrical connectors, unscrewed the two bolts, removed the old/broken coil, put in the new coil and tightened down the nuts snuggly.
Nothing to it. I then had to reset the error code and it is working like new.

broken mount for spin arm
I removed broken mount by gently bending tabs, pressed new mount into upper dish rack, attached the spin arm and secured the mount with the screw.

A snap---it took less than 2 minutes after only a two day turnaround from ordering the part to receiving it at home..

Fantastic service. Thanks!!!!

There was no problem
I simply had to hook up the power cord to the dishwasher so i could plug it into the outlet rather than direct wire the appliance. Everything went very smoothly. Everything needed for installation other than tools was provided. Easy to follow instructions if you know a little about electrical wiring.

Broken upper dishwasher rack
I just recently purchased a new house and quickly became frustrated with the dishwasher. The top rack kept falling and interfering with the cycle and loading/unloading was an annoying pain! I investigated purchasisng a new dishwasher even though it wasn't in my budget. I decided to investigate fixing it myself. I was surprised the part was so easy to find and identify on the site. I was elated! It arrived quickly and the dishwasher was fixed in a matter of minutes. The part simply clicked into place! Instead of $500+ for a new appliance, I was saved by a $40 part (with S/H)! I love PartSelect!
