Dishwasher would not switch on whenon/off lever was pulled accross
Switch off the circuit breaker supplying power to the dishwasher.
Remove the 6 screws that hold the plastic face of the inside of the dishwasher door, and lift out the inside liner. This may be a good time to wash it down, as it is probably a little messy. It may also be a good idea to put something a little heavy onto the door to keep it laying in the open position as the springs will keep lifting it back up.
Remove the screw holding the spring device down over the interlock switches and the thin plastic cover and put aside ready for re-installing again later. The spring may have flattened a bit and it may be a good idea to bend the end open, just a little, to give it back some tension. This is the spring that activates the interlock switches when you latch the door.
Unclip the faulty Interlock Switch by pushing (with your fingers) the little plastic clip holding it in and lifting it out of its cradle. If the switch to be replaced is the one furthest from the machine (or nearest the top of the door) you will have to take the bottom one out first so that the clip can be released.
Using small pliers pull the electric connectors off the faulty switch and reconnect to the new switch in the same way that the faulty one was wired.
Snap the switch (or switches) back into place in the cradle.
Replace the spring activator along with the plastic sheeting and screw that back in.
Put the inside of the now clean door back down into place, making sure the on/off lever is inserted through the slot in the front of the door, and that the piece of Styrofoam is inserted back into position.
Screw the screws back in, starting with the one at the top center nearest the on/off lever and then work your way down the sides from top to bottom.
Switch the circuit breaker back on and give it a whirl. Enjoy!

Old Dishrack was rusted and wheels broken
The hardest part about this is removing the end caps. I had repaired the wheels a long time ago so I had some idea about how to do it. Bending the back of the end cap very slightly and twisting got them out. Then it was simply a matter of switching the racks, which came with its own wheels, and then putting the end caps back on.

dishwasher not draining
Repair was really easy just like the repair video, but you have to lay on the floor. Unfortunately, the problem wasn't the solenoid, but the pump/motor assembly. Be sure to check the solenoid operation before replacing (making sure it is cycling). It might be the pump/motor assembly. Good luck!

Water does not Drain
After installing the part, ran the washer once more. The water still remains in the washer. Tried washing several times. The problem is still the same.

Dishwasher would not drain completely
Disconnected power at circuit breaker, removed lower spray arm, fine filter, inlet cover, and sump cap - manually drained water from inlet sump, then laid dishwasher on its side. Removed motor/pump housing, collection chamber, and associated hoses from inlet sump and extracted inlet sump from inside the dishwasher. Reversed process to install new inlet sump, paying careful attention to ensure a leak-free repair. The problem was damage to the part of the inlet sump that receives the feed from the fine filter - the inlet sump material had been damaged when I tried to clear some debris, resulting in a less than perfect seal when the motor/pump reversed and attempted to push water out of the dishwasher. New inlet sump, perfect seal, all the pressure is now pushing water out of the dishwasher during the drain cycle. PartSelect diagnostic app and parts diagrams were instrumental in being able to repair the dishwasher for less than $25.00 versus a service call costing hundreds. Thank you.

Water leaking on floor
Water was leaking from under refer next to installed under counter dishwasher. Once determined to be dishwasher not refer I removed dishwasher toe place was able to see dripping inlet solenoid valve. I had to disconnect 11V power, shut off inlet water, disconnect inlet water house and remove dishwasher from under counter. Once dishwasher was in center of kitchen I flipped it upside down and removed the electric solenoid inlet valve. Removing the valve took one wrench to remove inlet hose then two wrenches to remove 90 degree brass fitting and another to hold solenoid. I used a nut drive to remove two screws that released the solenoid from the dishwasher frame. I used teflon tape to reattached the 90 degree brass fitting and inlet hose.
