I used the PartSelect repair video online to show me how to fix the dishwasher. I needed a spray arm and support. Excellent video made the repair quick and easy.

First I pulled out the old gasket and replaced with the new one. The new one is too long on purpose but only had to be trimmed a little for a perfect fit. Very easy and now no leaks.

I unscrewed the housing for the spray arm and screwed in the new housing and spray are part. It took less than a minute and works perfectly.

I removed the three screws that held the stem assembly in place, removed the old stem assembly and replaced it with the new one. Replaced the screws and began using the dishwasher again.

The repair was not the problem. The problem was getting the parts I ordered. When the parts finally shipped I had to wait for them because they just sat in a FedEx shipping warehouse for about a week delaying the repair.

Excuse me, as I do not know all the correct nomenclature, but I hope you get what I am saying. The new spray arm would not thread on to my dishwasher water supply coming out of the top of the box. Every time I would try, the supply line would push back up into the housing. Probably need to fix that too, but then I would have to uninstall the DW and just don't have time for that. My old part would thread right on, no problem, but the connection holding it all together was wore out. So I took the new arm and the old "nut" and put them together. They threaded right on, I pulled down on the arm and it is secure. So I had to Frankenstein it a little, but my DW is working, I didn't have to tear it apart and reinstall it, and I didn't have to replace it. Win Win!

The part wasn't correct and I have to pay postage back which is nearly as much as the part so it's stupid for me to spend more money on a part that want work I want order from your store again.

Eventually broke off old heating element to get it out

Had to shut electricity off and turn water off and disconnect them both. Take the screws out from underneath the counter. Slide out the unit disconnect the filler tube in the back disconnect the hose and replace and repeat the process to put it back together.

It took me about 30 minutes to do the repair - took my time and could’ve done it much faster.

The bottom spray arm would not turn or fall off the stem assembly, so the dishes would not come clean like usual. The spray arm connects to the stem assembly via two plastic prongs that secure the spray arm. I removed the spray arm from the socket (no tool required) and observed the prongs had worn completely away. I grabbed the power screw driver and removed the assembly (3 screws). I placed the new assembly in place, secured the screws, and attached the spray arm. Finished.

The new arm came preassembled. I unscrewed the old arm base with my hand and screwed the new arm in place. The whole process took less than a minute. The new part was not made the same way. It was better than the original. Must have been a problem from the manufacturer. WORKS GREAT!!!

Just snapped the wheels on and attached the bracket to the existing part.
