Water leak around the door
Much easier than I expected. The bottom of the door gasket simply pulled out and the new one slid back into the same spot without any issues. That gasket did not solve the problem. The unit continued to leak. We waited for the back ordered door gasket approximately 2 week to come in. Once it came in the process took about 10 minutes. The old gasket easily pulled out of it's groove around the door. That gasket was dried out and worn in several places. We fitted the new gasket in the groove, trimmed off the excess, closed the door and ran the dishwasher and had no leaks. The two gaskets definitely did the trick. This is an easy DIY for anyone and the parts were priced right!!

wrong part
FRIDGEADAIRE - GALAXY SERIES -Part arrived within 3 days of order BUT it was wrong part. All excited about getting the upper wash rack in full operation once again. Pilled shelf out to remove gasket to find it looked nothing like the one on there. The part I need is like a bellows of sorts that fits on the water line attached to the upper shelf. The part received goes on the back wall.
Now i am back at square one with part I don't need and hoping for the part I do need

Arm-Control fell off
I unscrewed and removed the old Arm-Control fixture. I had a little (very little) trouble figuring out how to fit the gasket. It didn't go on like i thought it should. There was no gasket on the original fixture. So I put it on the way I thought it should go. I then screwed the new Arm-Control fixture on to the outlet. That was it. No tools required.

water leaked from the center of the door
DO NOT BE TEMPTED TO REMOVE THE INNER DOOR SCREWS!!!!! I was and added about 10 minutes to a repair that should take less than 5. The lower door gasket just pulls out the bottom of the door. No tools required, just pull it out. The new one just pushes in, no click or anything, just make sure it bottoms into the groove.

Dishwasher Leakibng
Removed the bottom covering on dishwasher and then ran it to figure out where the leak was coming from. Noticed it was dripping off hose, but not actually leaking from hose.
Unplugged dishwasher and slid it out from cabinet area (be sure to turn off and disconnect water supply)
Followed delivery tube up side of dishwasher to top of tub and noticed reminents of where water ran down side of tub.
Loosened delivery tube by plastic nut inside of tube and removed. Noticed gasket was partially depleted.
Ordered new gasket, replaced and put everything back together. (Be sure to use teflon tape on water source fitting and tighten firmly). No leaks

The original lower spray arm has a blue circle sprayer that must have worn out and dislodged itself from the sprayer arm, it landed on the heating element and melted a bit!
We easily removed the original sprayer arm, and clicked the new sprayer arm right into place. I know *very little* about appliances/repairs, etc but this was so easy and an affordable repair for our dishwasher.

Water leak underneath dishwasher
Unplugged dishwasher, removed the 2 wires clipped to the heating element, removed both cracked nuts, replaced with new nuts from PartSelect, clipped on wires, plugged in and did a test cycle. Based upon service quote from Best Buy, I saved myself $125.00 for just the call out, not including parts and labor.

Dishwasher made squealing noise during drain portion of cycle
Replaced drain pump. It helped some but still hear some squealing. I suspect the main pump might be worn as well. The drain pump did have some "looseness" to it compared to the new part.

leaking dishwasher
took the door off after several failed attempts, which is easy to do - 2 scews. Then it was easier to find the channel the gasket fits into.
For all Frigidaire diswasher owners, after taking the door off, I realized it was the seal around the soap dispenser that was leaking, due to stripped screws, not the gasket. I rigged it with silicone caulk, but may have to replace that - looks easy, .

plastic on the friction cable broke, and left the dishwasher door hanging open
I removed the bottom front of the unit, removed broken friction cable, hooked the new friction cable to the door, attached the cable to the spring, then reattached the spring in the hole provided in the back frane of the unit... Dissappointing how cheaply made these parts are, the dishwasher is just over 1 year old, these friction cables should be made to last longer....

Upper spray arm fell/broke off
I researched the problem we had with our dishwasher and found the Parts Select website. My husband and I figured out how to remove the broken part and I selected and purchased the replacement.
The part was shipped quickly and when it arrived I changed the broken part with the replacement in less than five minutes. It seems to be working just fine.
I have added Parts Select to our "favorites" in case we have problems with any of our other appliances. Thanks Parts Select. :)
