Spray arm came off and melted in dishwasher.
Found the base was not snapped in. Fixed that by simply pushing down on it and turning until it snapped in place. Ordered a new spray arm when it came in just snapped in literally took less than a minute. Fixed for less than $30 Can't imagine what a repairman would have charged.

Water was leaking through the heating element Accra point.
Isolated the leak and found the nut had split thereby allowing a loose seal and water penetration. Ordered 2 nuts just in case the other goes and the installation was easy. Unplug the unit, remove baseplate, remove screws under the countertop, and slide the unit out a bit. Use needlenode pliers to remove terminal connection and replaced nut. Reverse it for assembly. 3 minutes tops $6 later it is done. Easy money saved by a DIY.

The dishwasher wasn't cleaning the dishes
I rolled the lower basket out of the way, lifted the spray arm up and out. Then I located the replacement part on Frigidaire's website and placed the order. The part came quickly and I snapped it into place. No tools required. Now my wife is happy and so am I.

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!

Door Spring broke on one side.
Well, first of all I want to thank you for letting me know there were two springs and also for showing the two springs because I had almost ordered from another site the official Frigidare site which did not show the other spring, the right one. I would have ordered the wrong spring. I got a spring from you with shipping (very fast Fed-X) for the price of their spring alone. Also, your site was very helpful in explaining how to put it on and advised to get two which I intended to but only ordered one, It was so easy. Beaucoup thanks!

Became loose, and spray arm burned alittle. Stopped working and water started over flowing.
Unscrewed the old arm, and watched a utube video to place back in properly.

Spray arm came off and melted to heating element
I first removed the bottom rack and took out the spray arm (which was now in two pieces) I took some steel wool and scrubbed off the melted residue from the old arm. I took the new spray arm out of the plastic and clipped it into the bottom of the dishwasher. It spun around great and so I put the bottom rack back in and told my wife to try to run a load of dishes throu. It ran great, dishes got clean...easy fx!

Bottom Spray Arm Did not Turn
The bottom spray arm would not turn or fall off the stem assembly, so the dishes would not come clean like usual. The spray arm connects to the stem assembly via two plastic prongs that secure the spray arm. I removed the spray arm from the socket (no tool required) and observed the prongs had worn completely away. I grabbed the power screw driver and removed the assembly (3 screws). I placed the new assembly in place, secured the screws, and attached the spray arm. Finished.
