installed new hose.

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

My daughter held the flashlight steady as a rock as I hooked not one, but two new hinges in place. Throughout the whole ordeal neither of us complained or lost our resolve. We conquered!

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!

It was super simple. I popped the clips that were holding the old spray arm on and then popped the new one in place.

I read the instructions that others had posted and completed the repair in less than 5 minutes!

Followed the YouTube instructions. Loosened 4 screws took off the front door panel and removed the old door and installed the new one. The video was very helpful!

I removed the kick panel at the bottom front of the dishwasher. Then using a flashlight and a cross point screwdriver, I removed the thermostat from about the middle left. It requires a short screwdriver, but not quite as short as a stubby. I unplugged the wires, noting that one of them was a little burnt looking. The burnt looking connector was still okay. I then installed the new one, with the green dot on the thermostat having the slightly burnt looking connector. Then I ran a load of dishes and the dishwasher worked as it was supposed to. It has worked okay twice since then.

After moving the dishwasher out from the cabinetry, I removed the screws holding the pump in place. Pulling the pump from the formed plastic opening, I found a toothpick lodged in the pump housing. At the same time I noticed that the front o-ring was deformed due to being the incorrect size (too large). It was installed at the factory this way.

I went online to search for new parts. PartSelect was the second or third listing on the search page. I submitted the dishwasher model number and was taken to a set of parts illustrations. I was easily able to find the o-rings I needed.

1 Removed 2 screws to remove door panel so as to access back of dispenser.

Pulled old gasket off with small hook. Replaced new gasket by pressing in with my fingers.

Replaced upper wash blade and used screwdriver to pop off rail stops to slide rack all the way out to exchange

Removed the 6 screws from top section inside door. Pulled control panel from front side of door. Removed two screws holding latch assemly unit and pulled 4 wires from connection. Attached the 4 wires to new door latch assembly and screwed back into place. Replaced the control panel and attached with 6 screws. Couldn't get any easier.Great service Quick delivery.

I watched several videos of people replacing this gasket easily, but we had trouble. The old one came out easily. The new one just slipped into the crack, but it kept going and ended up on the inside of the door. We ended up taking the outside panel off to get the gasket out. We tried to fit the thing into the slot, but it kept coming out the other side. I finally came across someone who had had the same trouble. By feel only, you can feel a slight ridge on the top side of the lower door and I had to press the gasket against that ridge. It was not a very noticeable ridge, but it holds the back (slot edge) against the door so that the gasket stays put. When we figured that out, the repair went smoothly. I am running the dishwasher now and so far, so good.
