One Door Spring on the Dishwasher Broke
The installation of the door springs was easier than I thought it would be. The Springs themselves included an extra metal tab, which made it so they could slip into the dishwasher body, without the need for additional plastic pieces, like the original springs. This was ideal because the way in which the spring plastic end broke would have made replacement very difficult. That said, the video instructions for our model dishwasher were inaccurate. There was no way to disconnect the power and water, as indicated in the video. This did make me think twice before pulling the dishwasher out. Luckily the electrical and water connections were long enough such that we could slide the dishwasher out to repair the springs. Also, fortunately, we didn't have to slide it out as far as was indicated in the video. Connecting the ropes was a little tricky, but by attaching the rope to the spring and pulling the rope with a pliers to extend the spring, this allowed me to hook the clip on the door. All in all, the process was easy. It just would have been better if the video actually reflected the work,

Upper door seal (the surround seal) was leaking
This is a piece of cake. No tools are actually needed. Grasp one end of the old seal and gently pull it out of the groove in which is fits. Take the new seal, and paying attention to which way around it fits (there is a right and wrong way!) start at either end. Leave an inch or so beyond the groove to rest on the bottom of the dishwasher, and press the seal in place in the groove. You should have an inch or so left at the far end. Go back and go all along the seal and make sure it is pressed evenly and completely into the groove the full length.

You're done.

Over the years the filter became too clogged with embedded particles
Really simple. You pull out the drain filter plate and pull the filter off the support and replace. I gave everything a good cleaning and put it back in place.

Dishwasher door dropping
After researching YouTube, I figured out the problem was the left side of the door was dropping. Took some screws out where the dishwasher was attached to the counter and cabinets. It took a bit to pull the dishwasher out but when done, the fix was easy. Reverse the process, make sure there’s power and hoses are back.

Chronic water leakage
Replaced ‘sump’ housing , seal was leaking on it- replaced inop float on water level warning system switch, and switch itself as well- replaced drain pump motor attached to sump- replaced o-ring seal at water sprayer inlet valve- replaced water inlet plastic assemble on side of dishwasher- replaced drain hose out of sump assembly.

Used YouTube video to understand repair- this is an involved repair in time and complexity- dishwasher eventually gets turned upside down once removed and stripped down, to remove the white plastic water pan , which then allows access to the guts of all the above parts- some critical seals only come with new assemblies, so you are buying that new part to get a new seal and ensure no new leaks from what you took apart.
