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.

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.

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!

Seal was broken causing washer to leak
Remove the eight door screws. Pull plastic inner door panle off. Disconnect wires for the detergent door opener (mark them first). Clean inside the door and the seal area on the washer. Slide out bad seal, slide new one in. Reinstall. I went to home depot and replaced the rusting screws with stainless screws.

Detergent door wouldn't stay closed.
My husband followed the directions included with the replacement part that we ordered. It was so great to read of others' experience installing the part! It works great and we will certainly use this site again. Thank you so much. We saved $100.00 doing it ourselves.

The latch on our dishwasher broke
I unscrewed all the screws from the inside of the dishwaher door. I took out the broken part, installed the new parts and screwed the screws back in. Part Select was wonderful to work with and the parts arrived the day after they were ordered.
