Intake valve was leaking
removed two screws the disconnected the two hoses (after shutting the water off of course). It was easy.
Unfortunatley the water warped the wood under the vinyl flooring which is new and I really love. I would suggest that a rubber or some type of water proof material be placed under the dishwasher so that if it leaks it won't get at the subflooring. If this had been the case I would have noticed the leak right away.
Parts Used:
Water Inlet Valve - 120V 60Hz

Relay shorted out after diagnostics ran
Removed two screws on each side, lower half. Inside, removed six screws. Replaced the assembly and replaced all screws.
Not worth the fifty dollars for the part, just to have a door open at the right time to empty soap. Quite a hefty price to pay considering the price of the machine

Latch handle assembly broke. Dishwasher would not close
Removed the screws on the inside of the door gaining access to the handle assembly. Lifted broken assembly out, inserted and secured the new handle assembly according to the directions.

The part was ordered and received the next day. The entire process was extremely easy. A repair person would have charged twice the amount of the part plus labor just to come out!!

I opened the control knob panel. The latch assembly is located behind inside the panel along w/ the wires. This is my second replacement of the assembly. The last one lasted about 2 years. They should make a sturdier latch assembly next time.

Broken latch
I replaced this latch,but noticed that the electric terminal configuration was not identical to the old original part. There were no installation instructions furnished for installing this new part, so I had to guess that the wire terminals attached to the new part in a similar position as detached from the old part. So far the renter has not called that the dishwasher is not operating correctly.

door latch broke off
After watching the repair video, it was 'easy as pie'. I would have thought the gasket was too long and cut it off if not for the video. Thank you. Saved a great deal of money not having to have a repair person do the work. I strongly recommend watching the video.
