The dishwasher door wouldn't hold in any position but went all of the way open.
You said the repair was easy and would take around 5 minutes to perform. You were spot on and the instructional video really helped do the job.

Door became heavy on one side
Pulled dishwasher and removed existing springs and attached rope. Ordered the part needed and replaced it somewhat easily. There is a lot of tension because of the spring on the door. Once part was installed we were ready to use our dishwasher right away. Even though the rope was broke on only one side - we replaced both sides.

No spring tension to dishwasher door.
After pulling the dishwasher out of the cabinet (2 screws held brackets to the underside of the counter - accessible when the door is open), I removed the broken link pieces, re-attached the springs and routed the link line around the pulleys. No need to re-set the spring tension as it was adjusted properly.
Was able to download a PDF manual from Sears for the dishwasher, so had the necessary information in the event adjustments were necessary.
I bought spare links as the dishwasher was less than 3 years old, and I expect them to fail again.

Door got very heavy and wouldn't support itself
Removed 2 screws that held unit under counter. Slid diswasher out about half way; reattached metal spring in back and removed broken string. Attached replacement string to spring and threaded through wheels (copying other side), then attached string to door. Tada! Done. Will never pay a call-out fee again (for this problem anyway...)

Door pulley rope broke
Turned off power to dishwasher.
Removed screws from dishwasher retaining clips.
Pulled out dishwasher.
Removed broken rope.
Installed replacement and put everything back together.
Very easy repair. The spring is very strong and extra hand can be helpful, but not required.

Original door seal came out while emptying dishwaher. It was pretty messy so i ordered a new one.
I just followed the directions on the video that was part of the pictures for the door seal. I made sure that the channel was clean and the new seal pressed right in. i wish I had checked this site before I called a repairman, who wanted to charge me over $400 for a new one.

Bought lower rack, but discovered we didn't need it. Ordered the tine rack instead.
Our experience was amazing. The part itself simply needed to be replaced: dropped into the lower rack and it was done. The amazing part was the wonderful service that this site provided. We discovered our initial mistake, contacted the company, and received instructions for how to return it. Then we ordered the tine and it was sent immediately. Just received confirmation that the returned lower rack had been received, so the process is complete to our great satisfaction. This site really has it down for providing excellent customer service. They are terrific!! Thank you!
