Dishwasher racks would come off track
I clipped the wheels onto the rack. It couldn't be any easier. then i removed the # 25 torx screw which attached the broken slide wheel to the tub and installed the new wheel with the same torx screw.

The bottom trim peice was badly twisted and bent.
The dishwasher was already lose so laying on it's back was easy. Two phillip screws were all that held the piece in place .... and the replacement was a simple slide in.

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.

Removed the screws that held the cover on, then removed the 2 screws that held the door latch in place. Disconnected the broken door latch and attached the new one. Put all the screws back in and that was it! Also, the shipment of the part was SO QUICK!

Plastic handle had broken
First dissconnect power, and remove the 6 phillips-head screws from the back/upper side of the door, next remove the 2 torx screws holding the handle assembly, and unplug the 2 micro switches attached to the handle. Reverse this procedure and you're finished. It's so easy, a caveman could do it.

door latch assembly broke
I opened the control knob panel. The latch assembly is located behind inside the panel along w/ the wires. This is my second replacement of the assembly. The last one lasted about 2 years. They should make a sturdier latch assembly next time.

Door latch broken on one side
Removed the screws that hold the panel on ( just the top ones-no need to go all the way down the sides. Need a "star" headed screwdriver to remove the switch itself. Then removed the wires (4),one be one, so as not to mix them up. reinstalled all thescres for the switch, then the panel. Job done.
What amazes me is that Frigidaire doesn't read your page to realize that the handle assembly was defective and send out a recall. look at all the repars listed in your site , and these re just from the people that have responded with comments and who use your service. New handle/switch is much more sturdy with a higher density plastic that the original. Your service is easy to use, prompt and accurate. Fixed the dishwasher while my wife went to the store. Dishwasher done in 15 minutes and watched theNCCA tournament for 2hours in complete peace !!!!! No need to tell the wife only spent 15 minutes.

Door latch was broken
First i removed the screws on the back panel, unscrewed the latch, removed the wires and installed the new latch.
I found the latch is too expensive for a little plastic part.
