Leaking during cycle
I replaced the seal, still leaked. Once I noticed that it was only leaking from the left side, we did a Google search to find that the screen in the upper left of the door could be the issue, causing back pressure. Once the screen was cleaned, no more leaks.

Not draining
The dishwasher was making grinding noises and then stopped draining at all. I was able to follow the video directions and replace the parts from the drain and wash impeller kit, but it did not solve the problem. Must be the pump or something else. Was worth a try and partselect.com was good with service and price.

Noisy motor. Found to be finish powerball detergent caught in motor grinding. Broke lower spray arm nut.
Removed broken threads from where spray arm nut threads in with a pair of needle nose pliers. Put everything back in as schematic on PartSelect.com showed and the dishwasher runs great. Switched from using the hard detergent to the liquid gel. Haven't had any issues since! Great sight to find all of your appliance needs!

had ro replace a broken water sprayer (only way I know how to desribe it) which was mounted on the top rack
It was really easy. I took out the top rack, unscrewed the sprayer from the rack, screwed in a few items and snapped the thing into place. It was easy. If I were competent, the repair could easily have been done in under half an hour. It did not help having my wife and children laughing at me as I bumbled through everything,
