removed the screws holding the door together, then removed the screws holding the dispenser to the interior door. replaced the wires and put the door back together

Removed the bottom panel, and I had to disconnect the water supply, which did NOT use flexible tubing (much to my disappointment), removed the screws holding the diswasher in the cabinet. Slid it out, took the old springs off, put the new ones on.

It was pretty straightforward -- no big deal.

Turned off elecrtic and water to dishwasher and pulled dishwasher out from under cabinet. Removed broken hose using pliers to open hose clamps.
installed new hose.

Latch broke. and it wouldn't run without locking. As a trucker's wife it's up to me to fix whatever breaks or do without. I took apart the door, noticed the model number, and ordered the part. it was easy., it was harder to go thru Thanksgiving and wash dishes by hand.

My husband and dad actually did the repair, but my husband not being a handy guy said it was, 'so easy, anyone could do it!' He was very nervous about taking on the project, the longest part was testing to make sure it worked(running a cycle).
The simply pulled out the dishwasher, after disconnecting all electrical power, drained the rest of the water that we couldn't see from above, following the video given took out the old part without needing to take out the motor and were able to replace the drain pump, put everything back together besides sliding it into place in case it didn't work, in less than 15 minutes! When the short cycle finished and the water had drained they put it back into place and ran an energy saver cycle and it worked like a charm! Since then(2 weeks ago) we have now ran every function and have had no issues! Every time we open the dishwasher we comment on how much we missed having a dishwasher! Haha!

Removed 6 torx headed screw (loosens the internal control panel) and 2 philips headed screws(allows for front door panel removal). 2 torx screws had to be removed from existing latch along with 2 plugs loosened, be aware of how the plugs were connected to the latch. Do the reverse; attach plugs to new latch and reattach latch with the 2 torx headed screws. The 6 torx screws reattach the control panel and the 2 philips screws reattach the front door panel (be sure the front door panel is properly aligned prior to installation of the philips screws).

Most of the time is spent cleaning out under the sink, turning off water valves, disconnecting hoses and collecting water. One valve did leak when closed. Then pull out the dishwasher from under the counter, unplug and lay flat on floor.
Disconnect power from pump. Remove 2 screws and bracket that holds pump in place, gentle twist and pull out pump. Place tow gaskets around pump. Wet gaskets and gently push pump in place be sure to line it up so bracket goes back in place. Tighten screws, put hoses back in place, push dishwasher back, connect hoses, open valves, check for leaks then run the dishwasher and check operation of pump. I recommend viewing replacement on part select youtube video to determine if you can make the repair.

First point of leakage was the door. Turns out that a gasket at the bottom of the door functions as a wave trap. As the bottom sprayer spins it sprays against the door and creates a small wave of water this gasket was starting to disintegrate, it was letting water surge over the small tray at the doors bottom. Easy to replace just pull down and remove press fit on inside door bottom. Only when this was replaced did I find the real leak but not until I guessed at the tub seal as the leak. Very hard to see where the water really comes from! Turns out it was not the tub seal but a clip that holds the heater element got smashed down from a dropped dish rack at some earlier time and this caused the heat to increase at the clip and eventually heat the clip to extent it melted the tub directly under it. JB Weld to the rescue and we have a waterproof tub again. Well almost! The tub gasket resisted my best efforts to seat correctly and thus required a new tub gasket, still hard to seat but after 2-3 attempts we have a winner. Total cost about 50 bucks vs. 6-700 for a new unit. Wife is happy!!

Used pliers to remove old seal. Keep seal in position, note the notch facing the hole. Align the new seal, press it in, the notch helps align. Mine slipped in easy

Unscrewed the housing for the old piece and screwed on the new part. No tools needed. Easy to use website, fast delivery. Very easy.

It only took about 20 minutes to replace. Thanks for the video.

Seriously very easy. Took screws from side of door on inside of washer, silver cover plate came off and was simple to replace the latch using torque screwdriver and phillips screwdriver.

Had to reposition the two moveable dish rack to accommodate the silverware drain rack. Very simple to do.

1-2-3 snapped off the old and snapped on the new! New part was just as ordered and just like original! My dishwasher is like new again! Thanks PartSelect for your great price and prompt shipment!
