Soap door wouldn't open.
I looked online to see a video. Dad to pop lid off soap dispenser. Slide a plastic part to the left n the spring slide off. Video showed how to place prongs on spring . Then had to lift the upper part of spring to lift onto plastic part of soap dispenser. That was it.

Unfortunately it still doesn't work. I asked Ina email to your company for any suggestions, No reply.

All rollers missing on lower rack of dishwasher
The brackets that held the original wheels were still on the rack. They were easily pulled off the rack. The new assembly did not look like the original part. It was not difficult to see how they fit onto the rack. The only caution is to press the top part of the new assembly onto the frame before snapping the rest of the new piece into place.
