Dishwasher was leaking at the bottom of the door (left side)
I removed the old gasket and installed the new one in the same position as the one I removed. I had to feel with my fingers for the ridge to insert the gasket so that it would hold. I must admit that I was skeptical that it would work (the old one didn't even seem very damaged). I ran a cycle and there was no more leaking. We've been using the dishwasher ever since with no issues of leakage.

Very satisfied customer.

Strange noise coming from the dishwasher, later a small leak appearing underneath
A noisy dishwasher and water coming from underneath was being caused by a torn hose that is factory connected to the diverter. It was a little difficult to see at first as the hose sits slightly kinked when in it's normal position. Access to the diverter involves removal of the circulation pump. I ordered a new diverter which comes with metal screw on clamps. The main difficulty in installing is the positioning and alignment of the diverter and pump. My first effort resulted in a ripping of the attached diverter hose as I attempted to secure. I ordered another diverter. This time I used a lubricant to allow movement of the connecting hoses and made sure to not overtighten the clamps. I used a small mirror to make sure that the various hoses sat properly. Alignment took a bit of time. I then gently tightened the hoses. I ran the dishwasher, and found a leak, meaning that I needed to tighten these clamps a bit more. This is a doable repair that needs patience. The dishwasher is now very quiet and runs great!

The dishwasher stopped draining.
1. Turn off the water.
2. Turn off the power to the dishwasher.
3. Pulled out the dishwasher.
4. Tilted it forward and to the side with a bowl to collect the water at the bottom.
5. Carefully laid the dishwasher on its side
6. Removed the existing pump. Make note of its orientation before removing (maybe take a picture). Disconnect the wire and loosen the 2 pipe clamps used to attach the pump. The pipe clamps were not the adjustable, reusable kind but the replacement part came with several.
7. Put the new pipe clamps on the hoses (the supply and discharge side) so they're in place.
8. Installed the replacement pump by pushing it on to the supply then the discharge hoses.
9. Move the clamps into place and tighten.
10. Reconnect the power wire.
11. Stand the dishwasher up.
12. Turn on the power and water.
13. Run a quick test to make sure it's working and doesn't leak.
14. Push it back in to place and reattach it to the cabinets.

Dishwasher won't start.
Nightmare!!! The Striker latch did not pop out with a screwdriver as it was supposed to. The whole dishwasher needs to be disconnected and pulled out, then front door removed and totally disassembled to remove the screw to replace the striker latch. lots of work to replace a striker latch. Bad design!

the hub that holds the spinner for the top water in the dishwasher broke
the design of this part is easy to break when closing the top rack.

there is a hub that clicks in place and a spinner within this that makes the water spray evenly on the top of the tub of the dishwasher

the part broke when closing the rack [a dish too tall hit it]

it took less than 5 minutes to replace as the part just clicks into two edge spots i did this without removing the rack or even looking into the tub all by feel

I had a hole in the drain line of my dishwasher.
It was relatively easy to fix. I unscrewed the mounting screws from the cabinet, slide the dishwasher out to access the pump under the dishwasher, I did raise the dishwasher on the left side and steadied with a stool to make access to the pump fitting easier. Then I loosed both clamps at the ends of the hose ie. from the dishwasher pump and the connection to the sink drain line, pulled the clamp off of the end that connects to the pump and placed it on the new hose connection, I removed the old hose, connected the new one and tightened the drain line connections. I placed the hose in the hose holders on the side of the dishwasher slid the dishwasher back into place and secured it in place with the mounting screws.

Old filter had calcium deposits that would not come off with soaking and scrubbing. That restricted water flow.
Simply twist on the new part/filter.

order #16343054 Complete service rack
this was ordered 4-9-21 and I have yet to receive it. Its difficult to explain the installation when you haven't received the main part. I paid for this but you have not shipped it. Very poor customer service.
