Wheels always falling off.

Repair was just a snap I used a screwdriver to push out the old wheel axle and snap the new back in. This has solved my problem of the wheels falling off, it was driving me crazy every time I used my dishwasher the wheels would off. If are having problems like me this will solve your problem.

Some of the wheels had broken and I was having to lift the rack every time I filled up the dishwasher because it would not slide in.

I took the rack out and turned it over on my kitchen counter. I then clipped on the new axles and pushed on the wheels. I wish I had found your site sooner , I can't believe how simple this was.

Dishwasher would not dry dishes

The quiet power 3 has the heating element in the back, so remove the screws holding the unit in place. Remove the bottom cover and disconnect the water inlet pipe, (after turning off the water of course). Discard the copper tubing if applicable, and pull dishwasher out until you can tilt it forward. Unsrew the plastic nuts and remove the wires for the element. Test the old one to make sure that you need to replace it. When sure of the problem reinstall in the reverse order. Replace the copper with stainless steel braided line and test.

Detergent dispenser would not latch

Repairs do not get any easier than this. Remove 12 screws to disassemble door panel (be careful not to let front panel of assembly to drop or bend when screws release it). Remove 6 screws to remove old detergent dispenser. Unplug cable from old dispenser. Connect cable to new dispenser. Install new dispenser into door with 6 screws and then reassemble door panel with 12 screws making sure to keep all wiring free from pressure points.
