Lower dish rack assembly plastic had melted through to the metal
Simple! I removed the flatware tray and pulled out the old rack assembly. Rolled in the new one and replaced the tray. Not really a "repair" per se but a needed replacement.
UI Control panel would not light up and not work at all. Unplugging D/W failed to correct.
Unplug the dishwasher. Remove toe kick with 1/4 socket. Unplug, by pinching, door harness connector (White terminal connector) from PC board at bottom of dishwasher. Remove the door door using the Allen wrench, place it the hole on side of door hinge where pulley attaches. Unhook the pulley attachment at the door by using a vise grip to pull the plastic up and out. Don't break the plastic! Do the same for the other side. Remove Allen wrench. Pull door in and up at the same time. Take off 2 screws at bottom of door using 1/4 or 5/16 socket. Remove the vent cover (cap) using 2 flat head screwdrivers to loosen. Unscrew by hand. Slide toward the bottom, the inner door panel off from the outer door panel. You will see the door wire harness and some styrofoam insulation. Stand with outer door facing away from you. Remove UI by holding door handle, pressing it and pull the control head, up and away from you. It should come off from the top off the outer door panel. The UI will need to be removed from this housing. Unplug the UI harness connector. Remove 7 screw with a Phillips screwdriver or 1/4 socket. There are 2 clear plastic clips that need to be pressed in to release UI from the housing. Be careful, those clips are easy to snap. Place and snap new UI into the housing. Replace 7 screws. Reattach the connector pug to the new UI board. My personality was factory set. So, no jumper pins on my board. Snap the UI housing back onto the top of your door. Delicately, remove the styrofoam and unsnap the old harness to the soap and drying dispenser. Remove the rest of the old harness. Install the new door harness and use the plastic plugs on the harness to secure to the door. Install the styrofoam insulation. Attach the inner door panel to the outer door panel by sliding inner pan up toward the top. Replace the 2 screws at the bottom of the door. Attach vent cap by hand screwing it on. Position door at the dishwasher. Use Allen wrench or helper to hold at correct angle. Use a vise grip to grab the plastic pulley to attach it to the door hinge. Do the same on the other side. Plug in the harness connector to the PC board. Plug in the dishwasher and the UI should light up! Run a load and make sure no leaks are seen around the door. Replace toe kick.
Online instructions said to remove door. Found no need to. Only need to release one hinge by sliding door upward after removing 2 screws at bottom edge of door which releases both hinges. With door lifted just pry out old seal (it will be stuck so use a strong screwdriver). Then slide new seal in place. Lower door back down on hinge. Job done.
The lower tray was simple. Lifted the old one out and placed the new one on the lid of dishwasher.
Upper tray: Used the closed point of scissors to gently push the little piece of plastic on the slide and removed the cap on each slider. Pulled the damaged tray off of the sliders. Removed the piece that shoots the water onto the dishes and placed it on the new tray. Put the tray back on the sliders and replaced the little caps back onto the slider so that the tray did not come off of the track. Voila!!
My son did the repair, I ordered both latch and striker, only needed the latch...only took him a few minutes to remove the old and install the new and works just fine
Nightmare!!! The Striker latch did not pop out with a screwdriver as it was supposed to. The whole dishwasher needs to be disconnected and pulled out, then front door removed and totally disassembled to remove the screw to replace the striker latch. lots of work to replace a striker latch. Bad design!

the hub that holds the spinner for the top water in the dishwasher broke
the design of this part is easy to break when closing the top rack.
there is a hub that clicks in place and a spinner within this that makes the water spray evenly on the top of the tub of the dishwasher
the part broke when closing the rack [a dish too tall hit it]
it took less than 5 minutes to replace as the part just clicks into two edge spots i did this without removing the rack or even looking into the tub all by feel
It was relatively easy to fix. I unscrewed the mounting screws from the cabinet, slide the dishwasher out to access the pump under the dishwasher, I did raise the dishwasher on the left side and steadied with a stool to make access to the pump fitting easier. Then I loosed both clamps at the ends of the hose ie. from the dishwasher pump and the connection to the sink drain line, pulled the clamp off of the end that connects to the pump and placed it on the new hose connection, I removed the old hose, connected the new one and tightened the drain line connections. I placed the hose in the hose holders on the side of the dishwasher slid the dishwasher back into place and secured it in place with the mounting screws.
Took cover of door off. Removeddoor from frame 1st. Lift door off of hinge. Disconnect door from springs. Unscrew bottom screws at base of door. Lift front cover(actually slides down) remove old part replace with new.make sure unplug door from main body.
Unscrew the upper and side holding screws. Move dishwasher part way out. I didn't need to disconnect the water or electric. Make sure the electricity is off. Remember your working around water. Take off the bottom plat removing two screws, Remove broken cable pulley and replace new. Buy two since your their you might want to replace both. Have fun! It's duck soup.
Got the seal, read the reviews to see how to do it, Take out the two bottom screws ,easy enough. pull the door up ,pull out seal replace new one. Easy enough, but know one said don't pull the door up too high , I did, could not get it back down to save my soul. Needles to say had to buy a new dishwasher. that sucked have the new seal gasket if anybody needs one
