Dishwasher door strike piece broke. Door had to be propped closed each time dishwasher was used.
Took out the two retaining screws and pulled the unit forward. Took the old door strike out and put in the new one. This site is where I go for all my appliance repair parts!!!

Edge metal broke away from the melted tabs
The original lower spray arm had one end break loose the metal retainer end. I used a temporary small hose clamp to fix as I waited for the new lower arm to arrive.
The design is very easy.... pull up on the OLD and then just push DOWN on the new arm into the bottom.

Dishwasher was leaking at the front, just below the door
I measured the length of the gasket, using the old one to measure the length. Cut it to that length and installed it. VERY SIMPLE TO DO! But it didn't stop my leak--turns out there was a small leak in the bottom of the tub that was easily fixed with some silicone. The dishwasher's like new now!

Leaking underneath dishwasher
My dishwasher started leaking at the beginning of the summer. We didn't know what to do, but didn't want to call an appliance repairman. Towards fall, a friend came over and pulled it out and found the heating element brass nut which was broken. We put it back in and washed dishes the old-fashioned way for another 3 months after that. I asked at my local hardware store for the part, and thought about trying one of those big-box do-it-yourself stores but never got around to it. Finally after getting sick and tired of doing all the dishes in the house by hand, I found your site, and the part I needed and ordered two (just-in-case). A few days later, we got the part, I pulled the dishwasher out again, screwed on the new nut by hand and put it back into place. We're in business!

Was not draining. Found blockage, tiny pc of plastic. Put it back together wrong pcs melted on heating element
So purchased new arm, trap and lower arm support and put in together correctly. Easy peasy all the parts snapped in place using no tools. I'm a 70 yr old gramma and no problem. Just wish I put it back together correctly the first time and saved myself the money. Never know what you can do until you try. Parts came super fast too.

The lower dishwasher arm was a replacement for the previous one.
I removed the bottom drawer and glass trap in order to remove the old melted down washer arm. Once those parts were removed I was able to easily secure the new replacement be ensuring that it was turned enough and fit down securely (side note, if you don't hear the arm click or snap into place, it isn't secure). The part works just fine, but sadly I think I have another problem with my washer, but I will figure it out.

The top rack wouldn't stay in the track in the back on the right side.
I watched the video on the website on how to remove the top rack, and installed the new wheel and bushing. Simplest fix I ever did.

Dishwasher leaking water on my hardwood floor
I recently bought a vacation home in New Hampshire, and had a very detailed home inspection performed. The dishwasher unit was checked out to be in fine shape. Before moving in, I had all the hardwood floors refinished, including the kitchen, and everything looked great. After moving in and using the dishwasher twice, it developed a major leak coming from the bottom of the unit. "Here goes more money that I don't have, to hire an appliance repairman to fix this leak!" I decided to take the bottom kick panel off the dishwasher to see where the leak was coming from. It was coming from the the connection of the heater element at the bottom of the dishwasher. I found a brass nut had been cracked and wouldn't stay tight any more. I ordered the replacement nut from Partselect, RECEIVED IT THE NEXT DAY!!!!! using regular ground shipping, and installed the new nut using a socket set, and tested the unit. No more leaks!! Partselect saved me at least $150.00 on a service call for a $3.50 part. I'm not the handiest guy around, but even this was easy!
I also scored big points with the wife on my handyman repair! Thanks Partselect!

Dishwasher hose had hole in it. It was 23 years old.
After getting a totally incorrect length of hose from partselect.com . Went to local hardware store and bought hose for $3.00 vs $20.99 + $10 shipping!
Partselect sent replacement hose of 24 1/4” vs the original hose of 27”. Good luck getting any response from them once they have your money!
