Wheels fell off

These wheel assembly that came on the lower rack of my dishwasher were junk! They started falling off within 6 months. I put them back on to the point that the pin in the center of the wheels would no long stay in place, thus the frustrating situation of the wheels falling off often.

Assembly was easy peasy!

Replaced wheels on lower rack

My husband did the repair. It was very easy. He basically just popped off the old wheels and popped on the new ones.

The filter came out and pushed the arm up on the burner and melted it.

The air just unscrews with one twist and the new arm twist right back on. No tools needs. Saved me $100 service call.

Our renters somehow broke the wheel off the upper rack.

I watched the installation video that came with the parts. I removed both sides of the old track assembly and installed the left and right assembly in about fifteen minutes. I honestly believe my seven year old grandson could have done it for me.

Door link broke at plastic connection end

First remove the front kick panel by removing 2 philips screws. Turn off the water supply, and then disconnect the supply line if not of the flexible kind. Mine was copper. Remove 2 screws holding dishwasher to counter top and pull machine out. Open door and attach replacement link by hooking the plastic end to the hinge hook on the door side and then place the string portion round the plastic pulleys and then attach the other end of the link to the end of the spring attached to the rear of the machine along the bottom side. Push dishwasher back into position, reattach supply line and re-install both screws attaching the machine to the counter top. Turn on the water supply and check for leaks. Place the kick plate into postion and secure using the 2 philips screws that were removed.

Middle spray arm would not turn

I broke it accidentally while trying to get it off and it would either not spin or fall off. I simply removed it out of the box and put it on. 2 turns to the right and I was done!

Defective dishwasher heating element

Turned off water supply to the unit. Removed plastic cover at bottom front. I only had to disconnect the copper water line to slide the unit about 1/3 of the way out. I then was able to reach the wires, disconnect them and use a stubby box/open end wrench (5/8? don't remember for sure) to remove the plastic nuts. I then opened the door, removed the bottom basket and slipped the element right out. Installation of new part was reverse.
