My dishwasher was leaking from the bottom right hand corner.
I removed the original gasket, wiped down the area, and installed the new gasket the same way the old one was installed. It was very easy.

I didn't know how to put in the new one clips until I looked up a picture of them in place, on-line. Once I saw the picture, it was a matter of clipping the new ones in place.

Both door springs corroded and broke. Linkage connectors broke also.
After pulling dishwasher out both springs easily installed using plastic connectors on the bottom left and right sides. Pliars were used to stretch the springs. It took fifteen minutes at most.

Dishwasher wouldn't start, no power on any setting
Removed door interior, confirmed with tester that power was reaching door cut-off switch, but not power on other side of switch when engaged. Noticed that little switch button frozen in shut position, assumed switch had burned out. Installer new door cut-off switch with new (dual) switch units in place, plugged in unit and it ran perfectly.

broken float assembly
I went to take the bottom front panel off and ended up dropping the screw down behind the baseboard and then found that I did not need to take the panel off. The broken end of the float was not obstructing and I was able to just drop the new float in place. I spent more time looking for a replacement screw than any thing else. Ran it and it works fine.

When I would run my dishwasher, water would pool on the right side front of the washer. It was even dripping down into the basement. When I figured out it might be the the front door gasket, I ordered the part.
The repair was very easy! I simply pulled out the old gasket from around the front part of the dishwasher. I cleaned the area with a damp rag from any residue that was left on. I bent the long gasket in half and and pushed it in starting at the center of the dishwasher and went down one side at a time until the whole gasket was in. I then ran a short cycle on the dishwasher to make sure it was properly in place and the problem was fixed. NO MORE WATER ON THE FLOOR! I was so very happy to know my problem was fixed and I didn't need to buy a new dishwasher! It's been running great! :) ~ Elizabeth ~

After 22 years of virtually trouble -free service, I could tell by the sound that something was wrong. Water fill ran too long. Float not stuck. Checked and found float switch stuck.
Very simple. Remove bottom panels. Remove one screw holding old switch in place. Move wire connections from old switch to new one. Cleaned and lubed the switch actuator. Mounted new switch. Checked that float and actuator worked freely. Left bottom panels off till I ran a load - just to be sure all was OK. Remount bottom panels...Done! P.S. Don't forget to turn power off to dishwasher any time you work on it!!

Old dishrack was rusting apart
First you must understand that the end cap is not a solid piece. The plastic facing you is wrapped over the piece behind it. The separation may be obscured by age. Wedge thin bladed screwdriver into the outside edge of end cap at the bid point, a sturdy hunting knife will probably work better. When you hit the seam, pry it apart and fold it back. Unwrap the part and repeat on other side. The dishracks will easily slide out and in.
