Unscrewed the old arm, and watched a utube video to place back in properly.

Dishwsher leaking
Thought the problem was a faulty door gasket (there was a gap in the middle of it) so I ordered new(new one had a gap also) replaced it anyway - maybe it was worn out? Still leaked! Had to sit and stare at it and cycle it through. finally realized the spray arm had a hole in the end that was spraying directly into the gap in the door gasket. Hot glued the hole and it stopped so I bought a new spray arm - no leaky!

Dishwasher Leaks At Heating Element. Missing Door Spring
I removed the wires from the heating element. I removed the 2 brass nuts that had split down the side. I replaced them with 2 new brass nuts. Tightened with a wrench. I then installed the missing door spring. The repair itself took about 5 minutes.

Brass nuts holding heating element in place had split
All you have to do power down the unit, then disconnect the power connections at the element and remove the old nuts and replace them with the new ones and tighten. Don't tighten too much, the element has a rubber seal that just needs the nut to snug it up.

Sprayer arm design in newer model was not sufficiently cleaning
Pulled the completely empty bottom rack out, popped the old spray arm off, popped the new one on, and replaced the basket. Easy peasy. One of the easiest repairs possible IF it fixes the problem. (We had an older model Fridgaire dishwasher with this type spray arm versus the one that came in the new one and it worked great for 12 years. Falling back to it in a fashion was a logical attempt at a solution)
