Old sprayer arm melted to heating coil.
Easiest repair EVER!!! You just pull the old spray arm off (be sure to keep all the smaller pieces that click it into the bottom of dishwasher) and pop the new one in. Done!

Badly rusted racks
First, I was so pleased to find these parts at such reasonable prices! Sure beats replacing a dishwasher in terms of money and labor. I'd already studied the online instructions a couple times before ordering and checked to make sure my racks dis-assembled as shown. They did, I ordered, got the new racks within days and installed both in under ten minutes. Great service and awesome installation videos. I will definitely check this site if I need replacement parts for anything else in the future. THANKS so much!

The door springs were broken and the dorr was very heavy to open and close.
I removed the two screws and then moved the dishwasher out a little bit (about 6 inches). I pushed the dishwasher toward one side to make room for me to change the spring with my hand and repeated the same procedure for the other side. After the spring change, I turned an old dishwasher to a new one.

Our latch had broke and and needed to be replaced.
This repair project was easy enough that my 15 yr old son had it almost all done without me. The hardest part was getting the wires unplugged from the old latch. Once we got the pliers out to help us get a grip, everything went smoothly!
This was a quick and easy fix for an older dishwasher that still works!

Water inlet tube had worn a hole in it
Removed old hose and went to install new hose from Part Select. Part received was not the same as advertised. It was 6-8 inches shorter than the original hose. Would not make the necessary turns because of shorter length. I even went to Video instruction on installation even though I have been in Machine repair for 30 years , this video showed using the shorter hose and when installed in the video hose also had a kink because of hose length. Had to stop repair and go to hardware store and purchase a longer hose. This purchased hose from the hardware was 50% cheaper and actually worked. I also paid for 2-3 day shipping and received part 7 days later. I am very disappointed with Parts Select and am an owner of an Equipment Rental Facility and will never utilize Parts Select again.

Door latch snapped off
Viewing the instruction video provided online made my repair process extremely easy. Only thing that held me up was finding a tool to help me remove the torque screws from the latch. Thank goodness for inheriting my grandfather's tools and eventually finding the right bit. The latch came with a new gasket but I recommend not replacing it if it's not necessary. I did replace ours at first but it was too thick and caused our dishwasher to leak. So I placed our original gasket back after cleaning it up and it works just fine. This wife was able to complete this project with two kids under the age of 4 and a hyper border collie running around while the husband was at work.
