Plastic pieces snapped off upper rack adjuster
This was so simple! Some plastic tabs snapped off the upper rack adjuster in our dishwasher (which is not even 4 years old, so you can see how crappily made these things are), rendering the entire appliance unusable since the water sprayer thingie attaches to the underside of the upper rack. I was able to easily find replacement rack adjusters on PartSelect and thanks to the repair video, was able to install them in about 20 minutes. Most of that was rewinding the video since I had trouble getting the broken adjusters off! So delighted to have been able to do this myself and avoid paying $$$ for a repairman call out and replacement parts.

The original Tine Pivot had broken
I looked at the position of the remaining Tine Pivot, since there are four on this dishwasher upper rack, and positioned the replacement pivot and pressed it into place. It was a snap (excuse the pun!). NOTE: My dishwasher's Model Number was not in the list provided herein. I had to search a couple of models to find the Upper Rack that looked like ours and to find the Tine Pivot replacement part that looked like ours.That process took longer than the "repair".

Broken cord on door balance
Very easy. I removed the two screws on the base plate, then the two screws that attach the washer to the cabinet, and pulled the washer out of its slot. I installed the broken side and closely checked the other side and felt it didn't need repairing. I put it back together and the door works very well.
Thanks,
Ted K.
