Door would pop open after starting dishwasher numerous times before latching would catch.

Removed two latch screws and one electrical connection, Removed
two screws that hold D/W to countertop, pulled D/W out enough to remove the old latch, install new latch, push D/W back into place, rescrew to counter top and rescrew the two latch screws. This problem happened since new, had repairmen twice and they did nothing but move the dishwasher stating it needed alignment, never mentioned this easy repair....

Broken door latch and springs were not connected.

Looked up the replacement part on YouTube, watched a video and followed the instructions. Part ordered was the correct part and the video showed how to access for replacing. Watched a different video for hooking up the disconnected springs that allow the door to lower and close smoothly. Whole process for repairs was less than 30 minutes.

leaking from somewhere around tub

the actual gasket tub seal was easy, 10 minutes. The trim tub gaskets were a pain because I had to uninstall the dishwasher (not plumbing or electrical) then pull it out from the cabinet, remove old trim and re-install. Re-leveled dishwasher, screwed into side of cabinets but it still leaks. Can't figure out where but after replacing all the trim and gaskets its very frustrating.

Turn the dishwasher on and push start, close door and it would beep 3 times and not start.

Well, I was about to go buy a new dishwasher but my wife convinced me to fix it. Ordered the part from PartSelect and I wasn’t sure of the part number but they knew exactly what I needed. The control board. Received the part quickly. Took about 30 minutes. The hardest part was finding the correct socket for the bolt in my tool chest. Super easy! Thank you!

Dead spot in motor

Not having to screw with the hose clamps is the advantage here!
Disconnect electric connection at motor.
Slightly bend tabs that hold the pump to motor, twist motor from volute.
Do this on old pump first to get a feel for how easy the tabs can be broken
Do same on the replacement pump, put new motor on, watch alignment
can be a bit tricky.

Replace the DW drain pump

Pretty easy repair, since I installed the DW, so knew how it went in,
turn off breaker, shut off & disconnect water, disconnect drain line into disposal, siphoned water out of bottom collection basin below sump filter.
Slid DW out from under counter & laid on it's side.

Glad I watched a YouTube video so I knew to pry open 1 of 2 crimp style hose clamps on the old drain pump, then made sense why this was a drain pump "kit" that included 4 or 5 standard band hose clamps.

Guide Rail for Rack Broke

I determined the guide rail on one side had broke when the white plastic bearings fell out of their track. I decided to replace both sides at the same time, so I ordered 2. They arrived quickly and I installed them and placed the middle rack back into the dishwasher. Went together fairly easily. I took pictures before removing the guides from the rack, so I would remember how to put the new ones back one when they arrived. Very happy with this DIY repair that easily would have taken much longer and would have been way more expensive! Thank you!
