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!

Upper Spray Arm kept falling off.
The new arm came preassembled. I unscrewed the old arm base with my hand and screwed the new arm in place. The whole process took less than a minute. The new part was not made the same way. It was better than the original. Must have been a problem from the manufacturer. WORKS GREAT!!!

upper spray arm kept blowing off
Easiest repair ever. The spray arm itself usually really is not the problem, it usually is the clip or gasket that holds the spray arm on. It wears out. This part is perfect for it supplies a new spray arm, nut and gasket/clip. I think it wears out due to a build up on the arm that puts too much pressure on the clip/gasket. Remember when taking the nut off, if you are standing above the unit with your arm inside, you turn the nut clockwise while looking down. Good luck.

Replace dishwater pump.
Block and remove water hookup and drain hose. Ensure drain port on garbage disposer has a plug in it while drain hose is disconnected to ensure sink water does not find its way inside the cabinet. Place dishwasher with door facing floor. Remove electrical plug and pump retainer. Slide out pump. To replace pump reverse steps.
