One of the pieces to this part was an original part and had cracked
I watched the tutorial video and installed the part myself in 5 minutes. I was so proud of myself and thrilled that I saved $100 that I would have paid to an appliance repairman. Thank you so much PartSelect for a great price for the part and the video which was easy to follow.

Upper flow tube was kinked
I followed the video instructions: Removed the upper basket keepers using a small flat screwdriver, removed the basket and turned it upside down, removed the phillips head screw from under the basket and discarded the old parts. Installed the updated new parts and reinstalled the basket. The bottom spray arm seals were r&r with no tools. Removed the bottom basket, removed the thumb nut, R&R the bushings, installed a new thumb nut and replaced the basket. The only problem I had was not expecting to have so much slack, or looseness after the repair. I did not wiggle things ahead of time, but I did after the repair. I was expecting a snug fit with a freely turning spray arm. What I found was a lot of wobble and I guess its okay, seems to be working alright. Thanks, Jim Watkins.

leaking out of the front.
My dishwasher was leaking out of the front, bottom of the door, when
it was in the was/rinse cycle. Upon investigating by removing the
spinning wash arm in the bottom, I found that a couple screws had
fallen out of the pump housing. There was also a gasket sticking out
in front , facing the door. I'm guessing the water would be forced out
in the direction of the door and squirt out from under the door. On my
model of Kitchen Aid, there is no seal at the bottom of the door.

I took the pump housing apart to find the lost screws underneath. I
also found another gasket sticking out of place. When I went to put it
all back together, The gaskets had been so stretched out of shape, I
couldn't get them back in place. I looked up and ordered new gaskets
from PartSelect.com. The parts were in stock when I placed the order,
but when they arrived, the main gasket that I needed was backordered.

I decided to reassemble the pump body by cutting the old gasket/seals
so that they would fit back into place. I positioned the cut towards
the back so that if it would leak, at least it would spray water away
from the door. It works fine now and the back ordered gasket/seal
finally arrived, but I put them in the package under the sink to
replace them at a later date as I've moved onto other projects now and
don't feel like opening it all up again now.

Water feed hose worn out.
Replaced parts. Had to reorder support bracket and screw since screws were very difficult to unscrew and reuse. The Phillips Head slots were very poor and could not be used to unscrew and reattach parts. Thes two screws should be redesigned to make them more easily removed and reattached.

Spray arm tube broken
Watched the Part Select video on installation, which was very informative. Followed their directions and it was an easy 10 minute installation. I ordered the part kit and actually received it the next day... amazing! The kit cost $35. including shipping. Sears wanted $80. for the exact same parts. Would highly recommend Part Select. Will use again when I need appliance parts.

Dishwasher was increasingly noisy in operation
Examination of the bearing ring revealed that it was extremely worn, and its replacement did not require any tools as it is held by a plastic nut with a large handle for manual operation - so the replacement takes literally 15 seconds, and the machine is now as quiet as it was when new

Water tube under top dishwasher rack deteriorated
I found the part on the parts display, but somehow ordered the wrong part. It was clearly wrong, so I ordered the right part and followed the instructions on the packing slip to get a refund on the first part. I got a refund promptly from PartsSelect to my PayPal account. The Instant Repairman video was very, very helpful. The video said that the water tube was held in place with a split ring, so just open the split ring to remove the tube. My plastic ring was NOT split and I could not remove the old piece. The video gave me confidence to take a pair of pliers and cut my plastic ring and made it a split ring. This little modification made removal of the old piece and installing the new piece easy. That video was perfect for the job! The comments from previous parts users show that they, too, had to cut the ring, and that the new tube was not identical to the old tube. No sweat -- it works fine!

Broke the spray unit which resulted in an unhappy spouse. Corrective action was definitely required.
Checked you guys out on the web. Your site was very easy to use even for a novice such as myself. Ordered the part and it arrived almost immediately. Though instructions were not included it was still easy to install. Took less than 5 minutes, and presto, a very happy wife. Great product & service.
