I melted my other spray arm when I was cleaning the dishwasher strainer!
Although the part I ordered was not an exact match, it was a Frigidaire piece and fit onto the spray arm assembley the same way. And if I do say so, it actually seems to clean the dishes better! All I did was clip the new one into place.

The door springs were shot.
Removed the bottom panel, and I had to disconnect the water supply, which did NOT use flexible tubing (much to my disappointment), removed the screws holding the diswasher in the cabinet. Slid it out, took the old springs off, put the new ones on.
It was pretty straightforward -- no big deal.

Water pump replacement
Most of the time is spent cleaning out under the sink, turning off water valves, disconnecting hoses and collecting water. One valve did leak when closed. Then pull out the dishwasher from under the counter, unplug and lay flat on floor.
Disconnect power from pump. Remove 2 screws and bracket that holds pump in place, gentle twist and pull out pump. Place tow gaskets around pump. Wet gaskets and gently push pump in place be sure to line it up so bracket goes back in place. Tighten screws, put hoses back in place, push dishwasher back, connect hoses, open valves, check for leaks then run the dishwasher and check operation of pump. I recommend viewing replacement on part select youtube video to determine if you can make the repair.

Dishwasher leaks
First point of leakage was the door. Turns out that a gasket at the bottom of the door functions as a wave trap. As the bottom sprayer spins it sprays against the door and creates a small wave of water this gasket was starting to disintegrate, it was letting water surge over the small tray at the doors bottom. Easy to replace just pull down and remove press fit on inside door bottom. Only when this was replaced did I find the real leak but not until I guessed at the tub seal as the leak. Very hard to see where the water really comes from! Turns out it was not the tub seal but a clip that holds the heater element got smashed down from a dropped dish rack at some earlier time and this caused the heat to increase at the clip and eventually heat the clip to extent it melted the tub directly under it. JB Weld to the rescue and we have a waterproof tub again. Well almost! The tub gasket resisted my best efforts to seat correctly and thus required a new tub gasket, still hard to seat but after 2-3 attempts we have a winner. Total cost about 50 bucks vs. 6-700 for a new unit. Wife is happy!!

Water did not drain from the bottom of the dishwasher
My husband and dad actually did the repair, but my husband not being a handy guy said it was, 'so easy, anyone could do it!' He was very nervous about taking on the project, the longest part was testing to make sure it worked(running a cycle).
The simply pulled out the dishwasher, after disconnecting all electrical power, drained the rest of the water that we couldn't see from above, following the video given took out the old part without needing to take out the motor and were able to replace the drain pump, put everything back together besides sliding it into place in case it didn't work, in less than 15 minutes! When the short cycle finished and the water had drained they put it back into place and ran an energy saver cycle and it worked like a charm! Since then(2 weeks ago) we have now ran every function and have had no issues! Every time we open the dishwasher we comment on how much we missed having a dishwasher! Haha!

My daughter held the flashlight steady as a rock as I hooked not one, but two new hinges in place. Throughout the whole ordeal neither of us complained or lost our resolve. We conquered!

Rusted Lower Dishwasher Rack
