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.

Unscrew the upper and side holding screws. Move dishwasher part way out. I didn't need to disconnect the water or electric. Make sure the electricity is off. Remember your working around water. Take off the bottom plat removing two screws, Remove broken cable pulley and replace new. Buy two since your their you might want to replace both. Have fun! It's duck soup.

The dishwasher was filling normally, but was not heating the wash water nor heating the dishes for the final dry. Dishes were not being properly cleaned and were not at all dry after the cycle.
I replaced the flood switch following instructions shown in readily available YouTube videos. In short, you remove the coarse and fine filters, then take out the bracket holding in the flood switch and finally the switch itself. After replacing the switch, the dishwasher works normally again.

Broken Dishwasher Door Handle
I followed You-tube instructions, very clear but not easy.
The door had to be taken off the dishwasher and then disassembled into its two halves, front and back, in order to remove the old handle and install the new.

Broken door latch and springs were not connected.
Looked up the replacement part on YouTube, watched a video and followed the instructions. Part ordered was the correct part and the video showed how to access for replacing. Watched a different video for hooking up the disconnected springs that allow the door to lower and close smoothly. Whole process for repairs was less than 30 minutes.

Bottom door gasket & tub gasket
Tub gasket was a piece of cake, remove/replace by push in. Bottom door gasket was PIA. First you need to remove the door. Then, since the old gasket is held in place with a plate that is riveted together, you must drill out the rivets. Then you can install the new gasket. But first, you must use tap to replace rivet with threaded screw - unless you can find teeny tiny rivets!
