Left side door spring replacment
First thing I did was turn off the power to the dishwasher, then remove the racks. Remove the foot plates, remove the two top screws holding the dishwasher. Then using the socket set, retract the two foot stands to pull the dishwasher forward. You may not have to do this step as I had to get it over tile. The pully springs are on the sides, easily replaced. After replacing the springs and I recommend replacing both at the same time, put everything back. The hardest part will be the foot plates, there are two and getting them lined up and the screws back in is a bit of a challenge. Then you are done.

A hole in the dishwasher dicharge hose.
I had to remove the dishwasher from under the counter, flip it on it's side to gain access to the discharge hose attachment point, removeit, remove the other end of the hose from the sink-side and replace the hose. The sink-end of the hose has a 'collar' that must be cut to fit the fitting on the sink.

Water leak behind kick-plate
Water had been dripping for quite some time causing the floor boards to warp and buckle causing the door to no longer align. Water drip could be seen coming from the motor area. Ordered the O rings and replaced. Get Motor & Pump schematic Pub to visualize how parts fit together. I recommend getting motor (~$90)which comes with O rings (~$50 for O rings alone) because, as it turns out, the leak was in motor. I will post repair process in separate posting.

Dishwasher was not filling up at the start of the cycle.
This was really easy. Have done it before on other older dishwashers in the past.
Turned off the breaker for the dishwasher. Turned off the water supply valve. Unscrewed the screws in the panel that hides the parts under the dishwasher. Unscrewed the screws anchoring the dishwasher to the counter. Slid the dishwasher out about a foot. Inlet valve was located on the front left side of the dishwasher. Unclipped the wire harness. Placed a cookie sheet under the water line. Unscrewed the water line from the inlet valve. Unscrewed the two Phillips head screws holding the valve to the dishwasher frame. Got the new part. Put the screws back into the frame. Reconnected the water line and wire harness. Slid the washer back into place. Turned on the water valve. Watched for leaks. Turned the breaker back on and started the cycle. Watched for leaks. Once I saw there weren’t any replaced the screws anchoring it to the counter and replaced the cover on the bottom. That was it! Took me longer to type out the steps than it did to actually do the repair.

Heating element went out
Removed the clamp holding it to the floor and
removed the c-clips holding element underneath
and put new one in. Hard part was figuring out
what was holding the element but since I still
had the schematic drawing we figured it out.
Saved a bunch on a repairman. After watching
my friend install the new element I could probably
do it myself next time.

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

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.
