Upper and lower racks rusted in less than 2 years.
Ordered the Upper and Lower rack assemblies. Lower rack slid right in as the wheels came with it. Upper rack had to be removed from rails and old spray arm removed so it could be used with new rack (spray arm does not come with it). Whole process took about 10 minutes, no tools needed other than your hands. Overall, installation was no hassle but sad that the racks don't last over 2 years.

Water was leaking at the bottom of the door
The old gasket pulled right out with no tools needed,
The new gasket went in the same way.
Results:
It did help on one side, but the bottom gasket also needs to be replaced it has a couple of tears one on each end.
Next Steps:
When the bottom gasket gets here I will replace that and it should be as good as new.

Upper and lower dishwasher racks were rusted after only 2+ years
The upper rack required removal and reinstallation of the end caps and spray arm. Not a problem, just went on YouTube and watched the videos. The lower rack was just a matter of removing the old and installing the new. Yes, the utensil basket can not be replaced in the front, it has to be placed in the bottom rack. I installed mine on the right hand side. Maybe it isn't the best option (thanks GE), but it is better than rust on the dishes.

REPLACE DOOR CABLE
Removed the top two screws that hold the dishwasher to the cabinet , remove the two screws on the bottom panel and remove the panel. Screw the levelers all of the way up and pull out the dishwasher about 6 to 8 inch. Hook the new cabe on the spring and pull around pulley and attach it to the door bracket. I replaced both cables. Reverse to complete.

soap did not dispense correctly
Followed video instructions step by step.
I was fortunate i had enough slack in water, electric and discharge lines to avoid disconnecting.
Two wrinkles
1. wire clips on my door had to be pulled/pried loose from door and there were two not one
2. could not slide dishwasher out after lowering adjusters and figured out it was the mounting tabs bumpimng the granite countertop, thus the use of putty knives to slide the dishwasher out.

Replace the DW drain pump
Pretty easy repair, since I installed the DW, so knew how it went in,
turn off breaker, shut off & disconnect water, disconnect drain line into disposal, siphoned water out of bottom collection basin below sump filter.
Slid DW out from under counter & laid on it's side.
Glad I watched a YouTube video so I knew to pry open 1 of 2 crimp style hose clamps on the old drain pump, then made sense why this was a drain pump "kit" that included 4 or 5 standard band hose clamps.

Dishwasher leaking at bottom of door
Don't remove the door! Unscrew the bolts at each lower corner of the door(this is how the door is attached to the hinges so it is now free). Then open the door fully and slowly pull the door toward you a few inches. This slides the door up the hinges and allows just enough room to slide the old gasket out and and slide the new one in. Then slide the door back down the hinges(pushing it away from you, back into place). Then simply close the door and reinstall the bolts at the bottom corners and all done! I watched several videos and believe me, removing the door to replace this gasket does nothing but turn and small quick repair into a large lengthy one.
