Leaking around bottom of door
Used utube to replace the inner seal. Did not stop the leak completely, had to replace the entire door seal and level the machine.I did the inner seal myself, but had a repairman under our homeowner warranty do the rest.

Top rack wasn't getting clean
This couldn't have been easier. After unsnapping the docking station from the dishwasher, I aligned the two flapper valves that come with the unit and pressed them into place. I then pushed the new unit into place by pushing first on the left side and then the right until it clicked into place.
I looked at the old one and found that one flapper was gone and the gaskets were deteriorated. What made the whole process easier was buying from PartSelect. I have bought from them before and will again.

Door would not close - latch broken
1. Turned off power. 2. Unscrewed ten screws holding inside of door in place. 3. Lifted cover enough to access latch - helpful to have someone to hold this while doing the job. 4. Disconnected old latch assembly on each side - this was the hardest part as they were stiff and needed to be pulled hard. 5. Attached new latch assembly. 6. Screwed door panel back on. 7. Switched power back on. So easy and saved about $150. This stuff is NOT HARD and I just wish more people had the gumption to do repairs themselves instead of paying 'experts' to do exactly the same job.

Two of the wheels had been melted on lower rack
The two replacement wheels arrived very quickly. It was so easy to install. All I had to do was snap the old ones out and snap in the new wheels. Very fast and easy! Good company to purchase from.

Food debris on dishes; seeds stuck in spray arms
Remove mid and bottom rack. The nut on the bottom spray arm can be removed by hand; all screws are T-20; just hold on to the impeller to turn its screw. I keep a T-20 under the sink, which tells you something about how reliable we've found this model! Remove screws as you go down, replace parts as you go back up; assembly is reverse of removal, yadda, yadda. Don't miss opportunities to notice how Maytag keeps making small improvements to many of the parts, wonder whether in a few more years of purchasing replacement parts for this thing it will finally stop breaking. My wife informs me that plastic mesh filters like Maytag uses are something she buys for her lab as disposable single use items. We actually had a Bosch on order (metal filters) but I decided to give this unit one more infusion of parts. It's working better now, but I don't know how long it will last before something else gives out.

Door would not lock
I called for a Lowes where I purchased the dishwasher was told it was out of warranty, they set up for a repairman to come out and fix it. He came out and told me it would be $190.00 for parts and labor but that didn't include the service call of $60.00 dollars. Total bill would be $250.00, plus it would be another 2 weeks before he would be able to get back because he had to order the part but and get this I would get the part delivered to the house before the two weeks, and that he wouldn't guarantee the part for more then 90 days.
I told him no way, so I researched the internet and found this site part cost $25.00 dollars my time about 30 min. SAVINGS of $225.00.
The part was pretty easy to install had to take out a few screws around the edge. Only trouble I had was putting in the handle but I figure that out and put everything back together again.
I would purchase parts from this company again had it within 2 days, at a very reasonable cost.

The door latch broke
It was very simple and easy. I opened the panel inside the door; total of 8-10 screews. The latch has two electrical connections and switches. The replacement part I got came with an extra set of switches. Replacing the switches needed an electrical tool which I don't have so I decided to keep the old ones. It is quite easy to take out the switches and replace the latch. I should have taken out the power; but I did not. I was just careful handling the wires et al; no big deal either. My dishwasher is working fine now. I was able to fix it within $40 and 1 hour of effort. Any technician would have cost me atleast couple of hundred bucks + parts etc.

Dishwasher door would not lock on the dishwasher and water would spray on the floor when the dishwasher would cycle.
Took the door of the dishwasher apart and the replaced the lever assembly. The lever assembly does not come with a door handle, so you have to remove the old door handle from the old lever assembly and install the door handle on the new lever assembly. Installing the handle on the lever assembly was the hardest part, the rest of the installation was easy.

The handle in the latcch became barely useable as it broke.
Opened the dorr, removed the inside panel = the most time consuming part - and then exchanged the handle assembly. Then replaced the panel. Snap!
The hardest part was determining the part that I needed - the right part that did not involve repairing the/an assembly. Luckily I got the right one and two un-needed parts.
Stuff happens.

The top track rail broke so had to replace with new ones so we could slide the top rack in and out.
First emptied and removed the rack from the dishwasher. then removed the broken track rails. and the end posts from the broken track rails. Put one end posts in the track rail and then placed track rail onto rack and placed in the washer. Then placed the other end posts so the track rail would stay in place when pulled out.
That was it
That was it
