Brass nuts holding heating element in place had split
All you have to do power down the unit, then disconnect the power connections at the element and remove the old nuts and replace them with the new ones and tighten. Don't tighten too much, the element has a rubber seal that just needs the nut to snug it up.

Sprayer arm design in newer model was not sufficiently cleaning
Pulled the completely empty bottom rack out, popped the old spray arm off, popped the new one on, and replaced the basket. Easy peasy. One of the easiest repairs possible IF it fixes the problem. (We had an older model Fridgaire dishwasher with this type spray arm versus the one that came in the new one and it worked great for 12 years. Falling back to it in a fashion was a logical attempt at a solution)

Making noise during operation.
Checked your videos and found the lower spray arm damaged (nubs worn down). Previous owner had some work done and didn't reinstall the parts properly. While during the repair, I also decided to replace the Detergent Dispenser and make a new spray shield. I guess the previous owner decided one wasn't needed.
Easy install, no noise.

Dishwasher Sprang a Huge Leak
I pulled out the dishwasher and found the inlet tubing had a tear in the accordion part of the tube. I searched online for the model number and was directed to PartSelect. I ordered the inlet tubing, and it only took a few days to get to me. I then watched the video and was able to install the new tubing.
PartSelect is a life saver and I saved lots of money by not having to call a repairman.

Dishwasher didn't wash clean
Lower arm has two clips. Pulled the old one off, ordered a new one and slid it on the water supply pipe. Works wonderful!
