Dishwasher would not fill with water and would shut off
I found it online! There were step by step instructions that were easy to understand. I have never had to do anything like this in my life, only recently had to start doing everything around the house myself due to husband's illness.
The repairman came out, charged me $100 to determine what the dishwasher needed & left me with the part number. He was going to charge me $389 to install the part and they were over charging for the part. The repairman suggested I just get a new dishwasher.
I ordered the part from the website at 1/2 the price that the other place charges and found it on line. With the step by step instructions and the online page, I successfully installed it MYSELF. Saved me a ton of $$.
I LOVE the website
Thank You!!!!

Replaced Lower Spray Arm for GE Dishwasher
There was no repair -- it was a simple snap-in replacement of lower spray arm assembly. The shaft holding the lower spray arm in place is plastic so of course it broke when a utensil blocked the arm from spinning.
I appreciate the Parts Select company for enabling me to purchase a replacement part though that allows me to keep my old dishwasher working.

Dispenser no longer opened during wash cycle
Very straight forward. After removing the power source the dishwasher was pulled forward enough to access the the door hinge springs. Then the door could be removed and the inner skin separated to access the the dispenser mounting screws.

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.

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....

REPLACE DOOR CABLE
Removed the top two screws that hold the dishwasher to the cabinet , remove the two screws on the bottom panel and remove the panel. Screw the levelers all of the way up and pull out the dishwasher about 6 to 8 inch. Hook the new cabe on the spring and pull around pulley and attach it to the door bracket. I replaced both cables. Reverse to complete.

soap did not dispense correctly
Followed video instructions step by step.
I was fortunate i had enough slack in water, electric and discharge lines to avoid disconnecting.
Two wrinkles
1. wire clips on my door had to be pulled/pried loose from door and there were two not one
2. could not slide dishwasher out after lowering adjusters and figured out it was the mounting tabs bumpimng the granite countertop, thus the use of putty knives to slide the dishwasher out.

Upper and lower racks rusted in less than 2 years.
Ordered the Upper and Lower rack assemblies. Lower rack slid right in as the wheels came with it. Upper rack had to be removed from rails and old spray arm removed so it could be used with new rack (spray arm does not come with it). Whole process took about 10 minutes, no tools needed other than your hands. Overall, installation was no hassle but sad that the racks don't last over 2 years.

Upper and lower dishwasher racks were rusted after only 2+ years
The upper rack required removal and reinstallation of the end caps and spray arm. Not a problem, just went on YouTube and watched the videos. The lower rack was just a matter of removing the old and installing the new. Yes, the utensil basket can not be replaced in the front, it has to be placed in the bottom rack. I installed mine on the right hand side. Maybe it isn't the best option (thanks GE), but it is better than rust on the dishes.

Water was leaking at the bottom of the door
The old gasket pulled right out with no tools needed,
The new gasket went in the same way.
Results:
It did help on one side, but the bottom gasket also needs to be replaced it has a couple of tears one on each end.
Next Steps:
When the bottom gasket gets here I will replace that and it should be as good as new.
