A broken spring.

Removed bottom cover. Opened the door to take pressure off old springs. Removed the both old springs,with pliers. Replaced with the new springs. The new springs are not adequate for our heavy door.Our door has a wood, cabinet matching cover. The door falls down, if not held firmly. The springs are not as heavy duty as the old ones.

Could not fit hoses for portable dishwasher onto existing faucet

I knew I needed a faucet adapter, but thought I could just go to my local home depot and get the part...not so much. After 3 trips and not getting the part I truly needed I ordered the part from partselect. I received it literally the day after I ordered it, screwed in place with no tools, attached the coupler/hoses to the faucet and washed dishes. I wish I would have ordered the part from partselect before even bother with home depot. I would have saved myself a lot of trouble! Extremely happy! Thank you!

A gift portable dishwasher did not have the faucet adapter.

Found the adapter on Parts select through a google search. Unscrewed the existing faucet aerator and srewed in the adapter. The plastic shrink wrap holds the washer and screen in place, so don't open it until you're ready to install. Finger snug does it, only use the pliers to remover the old aerator from the faucet. Normally, I don't use pliers, but both of these parts were round and had vertical serrations to engare the plier teeth.
