The Springs broke on my dishwasher door
My wife said the door broke; we need a new dishwasher. It is not worth a $100 repair out of warranty. I checked this site the springs were about $4 each. When they arrived I unscrewed two screws holding the dishwasher to the counter; carefully pulled the dishwasher out from under the counter; found the broken spring replaced it and for good measure I also replaced the old working spring on the other side. The door now works fine. Total time less than a half an hour.

Dishwasher will not start
Unscrew the inside door from the outside door. remove the old control switch, insert the new switch, screw the door back together. Hint-buy two switch interlocks as our first repair only lasted a year....it broke the day we were expecting company for a week...alot of dishes to do while we waited for the part! Easy repair- don't be afraid!

Detergent door wouldn't stay closed
Remove the door panel screws on the inside door frame. You only need to remove as many as needed to remove the larger bottom panel. The other screws will remove the upper button panel and this is not necassary. Unplug the Detergent Dispenser (it may take some force, and unscrew the dispencer. Replace with the new one, screw back in place, and reattatch the plug. Now replace the door panel and screw it back in place. This is all very simple. The only problem I encountered was that the only dispenser had built up so much detergent residue around its base, that it had distorted the plastic around it. This caused the new dispense to not sit flush all the way around, and the dishwasher leaked into the door on its first cycle. Simply filling the gap with 100% silicon caulk has fixed the problem. Washes like new.

Soap door would not stay closed
Removed the holding screws around the edges; removed and replaced the soap container; reconnected the electrical leads, and done... Very simple fix. But it does get a little tricky since the door is spring loaded. NOTE: THERE ARE SCREWS AT THE BOTTOM THAT IS NOT OBVIOUS.

A hole was chewed in the inlet sump by a rodent.
First thing to do is remove all the dishes or you will have an issue with broken dishes. Naturally you will need to get the dishwasher on it's front so you can get to the inlet. First remove the two screws holding the pump on to the frame of the machine. They are long and in a tight spot so a ratchet wrench works best, I think they were 8mm but maybe 10. Next take the clamp holding the pump on the sump. Give the pump a slight pull and it will come off, and set it out of the way. Next look for another clamp. Disconnect it. Finally you will look at the top where the sump goes into the actual washer itself. There are two "U" shaped clamps holding it on. From behine they will look like U's that are facing each other while laying on their side like this. (o) They are holding the sump on and their are two bolts in each. Once again, a ratchet wrench works best. Remove those bolts and give the sump a pull and it comes right off in your hands. Then reverse the steps and put it back together. Also ensure you cut the water off under the sink, to reduce the mess. Hope it helps.

Remove the mount from the back of the motor and loosened the two clamps- one to the sump and one to the discharge tube. Removed and replaced the pump/motor assy. with the new one, reinstalled the clamps, rear mount and electrical lead. Righted the unit and fired it up. Worked fine.

dirty dishes wash after wash
We noticed our detergent door was not opening on cue to dispense the soap and it was leaving our dishes dirty. It came to be that our spring was sprung on the detergent door. I researched it and I could either buy the spring or the whole detergent contraption (installing the contraption was one wrench easier but cost $35 more). Knowing my husband the way I do, I decided to do the more costly route. I followed the instructions from previous installers on here and me and my husband did it in 30 minutes! I do agree that it is a two man job for some of it as I stressed to him NOT to take the front off haphazardly, as it was $400 to replace that! We took the 12 or so screws off, detached the line to the detergent dispenser, reattached, screwed it into the door and replaced the front 12 or so screws again. Easy peasy! Unbelieveable!

Water leaked on floor from corner od dishwasher door
I carefully read over comments from other people's experience first. I removed all the screws from the inside panel and had several heavy books to weigh down the door. This allowed me to remove the white inside panel, turn it to get easy access to the seal at the bottom. All that was necessary was to clean the area of builted up soap etc, start pulling old seal off from one side and at the same time insert the new seal in same track and groove, being careful to have the new seal lined up in the same manner as the old. The whole process was rather simple and required very little effort.

Soap dispenser door wouldn't close
I've never done this before, so I took my time and it took 25 minutes. Now that I know what it looks like inside, it would only take maybe 15 minutes. There are 12 Phillips head screws to remove the front of the washer door. Once off, you need to unplug the large electrical plug to the "dashboard". Remove the screws holding the detergent dispenser, and unplug the two electrical plugs attached. Plug the two plugs back into the new dispenser, and replace the screws, being careful to not tighten to tight. Replace the front of the dishwasher door, with the 12 screws and you're done. Easy job!

the latch on soap dispenser broke
we followed the instructions as posted on your web site. Once the dishwasher was apart it was self explanatory. We did however need pliers to separate the wires from the old soap dispenser.

The stud/axle locks had worn and would allow the wheels to come off.
Removed the old axle locks and replaced with the new ones. They work fine. They had impoved the wheel lock over the original ones. Thanks for the good & quick service.
