dishwasher not emptying tub, dirty dishes when the dishwasher said the cycle was done
easy repair, but the check valve wasn't the problem, it was the float switch that isn't on the tech sheet in the dishwasher or mentioned as a possible culprit anywhere I could find on the internet

Piece that holds the insert broke
The dishwasher has inserts that can be raised and lowered to adjust the space between the dishes.
One of the holders broke.
I took out the old one and put a new one in.
1) The hardest part was identifying the piece.
This is the insert holder near the front of the rack, to the right of the cutlery basket (as you face the dishwasher)
The drawings on the site are tiny so it is hard to figure out which is the correct piece
There are 3 different numbers for each piece.
the number on the rack assembly diagram (0647)
the PartSelect Number (PS8728043) and
the Manufacturer Part Number (00616990)
I wound up ordering a number of parts and returning the ones that I didn't need (at my expense)
2) Be sure to take pictures before you remove the old piece. Once the broke piece was removed, it was not obvious to me how it the new piece connected.
Once I had the correct piece, pulling out the old one and installing the new one took no time at all.

Pump and heater failure!
Removed the dishwasher from the cabinet, laid it on its side, removed the old pump/heater, installed the new and reinstalled the dishwasher. What made this a little more difficult is my dishwasher has a bottom to it that would be very difficult to remove, access to the pump is from the side! I have large hands, not much room to work!

Inlet valve was leaking water at all times causing the unit to shut down with the bottom tray collecting water.
Repair was simple once the problem was diagnosed with the inlet valve.
Most of the work was in disconnecting the necessary lines so the dishwasher could be removed from the cabinets to replace the bad valve. Replacing the valve was easy. Reinstalling the dishwasher was just the reverse of the removal. The replacement part matched the original and solved the problem we had.

My flow tube had a hole in it
Initially, I received an E15 error. I evaluated for leaks but couldn't find anything except for water in the bottom of the dishwasher after about 30 minutes of the initial cycle. After discovering the hole in the flow tub, I order the part. It came a few days later & replace the part within a 15 minutes of receiving it. I didn't think it would resolve the issue but it did. Thank you!

Over the years the filter became too clogged with embedded particles
Really simple. You pull out the drain filter plate and pull the filter off the support and replace. I gave everything a good cleaning and put it back in place.

When loaded, the lower rack would fall off the rails
The problem and solution were described on the internet. I ordered a set of 4 wheels for $43+. I received one wheel. When I called Drew told me that the order was correct, but the description on the web page was wrong. He was to sent me a return label, but it has not arrived. Since then I went to the Bosch website, found the set of wheels (Part 10016657) for $42. They have been installed and the problem seems to have been fixed.

The metal support frame for my old cutlery basket was rusted which required replacement.
To remove the old cutlery drawer I had to pull the old drawer forward and work the rollers over the stops at the end of the permanently installed slides. To install the new cutlery drawer, I reversed the procedure and worked the rollers on the new drawer over the slide stops and seat the new basket. No tools were required.
As for the crockery baskets, the larger lower basket was very simple. Roll it forward onto the door and lift it out. To install the new basket reverse the procedure. Place the new basket on the door and slide it in on its rollers.
For the upper crockery basket the procedure is more complex. The retaining mechanisms for the upper basket appear to be very complet as they have a number of moving parts intricately engineered. With a little study, it become apparent releasing the locks and levers which keep the basket from rolling out and falling to the floor are well designed to both secure the basket and to remove. Each anchoring mechanism has a lever at the base and by depressing the lever it releases the basket so it can be rolled forward over the stops at the end of the slides. Some manual dexterity is required to maintain pressure on the mechanisms to ensure the basket will be released. The procedure is quickly mastered with a few attempts. The good thing is again no tools are required.
My new tray and baskets are working fine and it is a relief to have the old rusting and deteriorating tray and basket replaced. This is true for both safeguarding the crockery and cutlery form rust and chemical of deteriorating plastics, rusting metal, and bonding agents. More important, I am sure replacing the old deteriorating baskets and tray guards against any potential health issues.

Water leaking and high pitch noise mid way through operation.
Mistakenly opened covers for the drain pump. Had to put those covers back in place.
Heater and pump installed easily with a bit of careful maneuvering the plugs and plug housing from the exterior. Pump installed in place easily. Clamp fit perfectly.
