Dishwasher was leaking water
The spray arm had become damaged on one side -- one side had apparently melted off. I replaced it, and it seems to have fixed the problem for now.

Door Latch Broke Off, Can't Close Door
Very easy to remove old broken door latch assembly, easier to install replacement. With door fully opened, I removed the 8 screws holding down the whole front casing, including the controls casing. Removed 2 Torx screws holding door latch assembly and then made sure that I marked all 4 wires before disconnecting them from door latch assembly. Connected wires to new door latch assembly, secured it with the 2 Torx screws, aligned and secured the controls and front cover casings with 8 screws. Done within 30 mins. Thanks guys for posting how-tos and thanks to PartSelect for a very fast shipping!!!

Latch to dishwasher door broke
Before starting I disconnected the dishwasher. First I removed the door cover which then exposed the interior part of the door. I then used a star bit on the screwdriver to remove old latch. I disconnected the four wires to the door making sure that I made a point of which wire was connected to what. I then inserted the new latch and reconnected the wiring. Finally, put on the door panel and screwed in the remaining screws. About 15 minutes total work time.

Latch broke and dishwasher could not be opened.
Removed the front cover by unscrewing the 8 screws. Removed the latch and attached new one. Re-attached front cover, and it works fine.
The gasket was in fine shape, and I question why I had to purchase the gasket in order to get the latch. Seems crazy and an unecessary expense on my part.

Handle was cracked and missing half of it
First, I located the dishwasher switch in the circuit breaker and turned it off, so as to kill power to the dishwasher - DO NOT PROCEED WITHOUT DOING THIS FIRST. Unscrewed front panel by removing 6 screws on the inside of the door frame. Then pulled 2 white wires on left and 2 black wires on right off of bottom of latch. Then used hex wrench to remove 2 hex screws holding handle and latch to frame. Then reassembled in reverse order as I disassembled. Note that there was a video on the site when I ordered the part, and it demonstrated all the steps; however, when I received the part and went back to the site to review the video again, it was gone. I'm glad I paid close attention the first time I watched it as it was extremely helpful and showed me exactly how to complete the installation.

The latch was not broken
The repair was pretty straightforward. If somebody is attempting, they should make sure that screws close the bottom part of the door should be opened. You only need to open the top 4 screws.

Dishes were not getting cleaned-not enough water getting into dishwasher.
Shut the power and water off. Undid water inlet an outlet connections and unplugged power to the valve. Installed new inlet valve in reverse order and it's like having a brand new diahwasher and I saved myself neaerly $500.

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.
