Heating element broke off and burned a hole in rubber tube, leaking water.
Replaced the dishwasher with a new one! used the same brand (GE) but different model to make the job a little easier, first cut power to the outlet, disconnected electrically from dishwasher, cut off water source from dishwasher, and disconnected hose from garbage disposal, removed old dishwasher put new one in, connected electrical wires (color coded), connected water supply with pliers, and connect your hose to your disposal and level your new disposal with leveling screws that comes with the new dishwasher. Put front cover plate on with screws provided with a screwdriver and that's it.

Dishwasher stopped draining.
We I installed a new dishwasher pump. It was simple and easy. I did it myself. My husband removed the clamps holding the dishwasher in the cabinet. Then he turned it in it's side and I replaced the old pump for an identical one that I ordered from this site. Easy peasy, took all of 15 minutes. You've got this. Don't call a repair man and pay $300 or buy a new dishwasher and pay $800. This repair was $63. If I can do it, you can!!!

Dishwasher would not know door was closed
Parts diagram shows Striker can be popped out with screwdriver. Not true. It has a screw bolting it internally. Impossible to get to unless you disassemble the entire door. We took a power drill and small drill bit and bore it out like a cavity in a tooth. Needle nose pliers to extract the screw. Pretend your a dentist. Fixed it in 5 minutes. Replacement fit tight. A+

Dishwasher made rhythmic, thumping sound during wash cycle
This was so easy! Our 4 year-old dishwasher began making a repetitive, clunking noise during wash cycle, and I deducted that it was the spray arms. I tried to rinse out old
spray arms, checked for clogs, and made sure they were installed correctly. The sound persisted, so I ordered replacement part (wash arm kit). I removed old spray arms and attached new ones. Problem solved and dishwasher is quiet again!

Deteriorated dishracks
Quite simple. Only disassembly/reassembly was the spray mechanism attached to the bottom of the Upper Rack. Snaps off old and on to new rack with no tools. On this dishwasher model, there is no hose assembly running to water port, but the spray assembly is instead a integrated tube with a male port that "plugs" into a female port on back of unit. Definitely get 2 end caps.
Only difference from original, is the design of the bottom rack. To fit such that the door closes, the silverware rack is at the back of the unit versus the front. Somewhat inconvenient. Can put silverware rack in front, but then less efficient for dishes.

Water would not drain
The repair was just like the video that the agent sent me. And while I had the unit out of the cabinet I installed a part I have had for months which I ordered before I realized I had to take the unit out of the cabinet: the part was the seal for the bottom of the door. I recommend if you are ordering a pump order this part too an it is easy to install if you already have the dishwasher out of the cabinet.
