Dishwasher would not drain even though the pump made a humming noise
I turned off the power and the water then I pulled it out into the floor I used a pair of pliers to remove the hoses and disconnected the wires from the pump then I just reversed my steps i will add that the pump on mine was located low to the floor and it was a bit difficult to get the new pump on until I use a small pan to sit one side of it on to raise it up off the floor and then it was no problem getting the pump on . I’m 66 year old female and if I can do it so can you .Good Luck to all you self repair folks.

Water leaking, spray arm melted
This dishwasher is pretty old and I live in a rental. When I moved in, the dishwasher leaked every time and it would had been nearly impossible to get the landlord to do any work. I read other repair stories on partselect and figured out it was the spray arm assembly. At some point the arm got detached and laid on top of the heater coil. Once it was melted and the water holes were distorted, the water shot at the door in some way to leak out the front. I replaced the part by just pushing the center part until it clicked on the bottom---- no tools were needed! The dishwasher works like a champ now. The dishes get clean the first time and no leaks on the floor. I read from other comments that the part was blue and it didn't match the original color. That wasn't as important as having a functional dishwasher. The delivery was delayed because of the health crisis, but once the warehouse sent an email that the part was shipped, I received it as was promised. All in all, I was pleased with the service and part. If there is another situation in the future, I would definitely consider using partselect again. Thank you

Dishwasher Sprang a Huge Leak
I pulled out the dishwasher and found the inlet tubing had a tear in the accordion part of the tube. I searched online for the model number and was directed to PartSelect. I ordered the inlet tubing, and it only took a few days to get to me. I then watched the video and was able to install the new tubing.

PartSelect is a life saver and I saved lots of money by not having to call a repairman.

Water would not drain
Pulled out the dishwasher. And the copper supply line was kinked while pulling it out. Had replaced it with a new flexible 10 foot line, leaving enough room to leave it hooked up when pulled out of cabinet. Layed dishwasher on left side. Used screwdriver and pliers to remove hoses and 2 screws. Removed pump and installed new pump. Pushed it back into cabinet, making sure not to kink hoses as it's pushed into cabinet

Machine was leaking from the bottom left side (facing)
The machine was not used for three years after discovering a leak. It appeared to be coming from the drain pump. I Decided to reevaluate the leak for repair, with a little prodding from my wife, I found the leak coming from the bottom of the door. I Found the worn seal and I ordered a new part. I used needle-nose pliers to remove the old seal, pushed the new seal in with my fingers, checked for leaks, none found. Machine is back in business. My wife was happy.

Water was not filling the dishwasher at the approbriate time in the cycle.
Pulled the dishwasher out, turned it on the side to gain access to the inlet valve, removed the inlet valve. The hard part was getting the valve fitting that didn't come with the inlet valve. I had to use liqued wrench to loosen the hard water deposits to get it off. Once it was off, putting the new valve on was easy. Also of note, when I tested the old vlalve with an Ohm meeter it read 8 M ohm, not infinity. The new one only measured at about 1k ohm.
