I pulled out the dishwasher and found the inlet tubing had a tear in the accordion part of the tube. I searched online for the model number and was directed to PartSelect. I ordered the inlet tubing, and it only took a few days to get to me. I then watched the video and was able to install the new tubing.

PartSelect is a life saver and I saved lots of money by not having to call a repairman.

Removed the screws holding the door panel and as the sheet said was the way the it went. Two screws holding the handle latch and replaced it and put the door back on. There was 4 wires to replace on the latch. Replaced the gasket and the job was done. All in all it was a very good experience with good instructions and very good same day shipping. A VERY GOOD EXPERIENCE.

The actual installation of the dispenser was a breeze. Just unscrew the 6 screws unplug the 2 electrical wires and put the new one in. The problem I had was removing and replacing the front panel of the machine. The metal facing had corroded onto the frame of the door and was difficult to get off. Replacing the door was just as much a pain as it had to be lined up correctly with 4 holes in the frame. Did it in the end everything works great. Cheaper than a whole new machine.

So easy it shouldn't even count as a repair, really. The dishwasher, there when I bought the place, had a lower rack that wouldn't roll out as it should. That's because there were no wheels on the left side.

The rack lifts out easily. These wheels snap on to small protrusions from the wire rack.

This repair turned out quite easy. I removed the 6 phillips head screws that held the door latch cover in place, dropped the cover and let it hang while I removed the latch assembly that was held in place by two torx head screws. I used needle nosed pliers to gently disconnect the wiring connectors from the old latch assembly one at the time, then carefully attached the wire to corresponding lug on the new latch. Once all wiring was transferred, I installed the new latch using the two torx head screws, replaced the cover, and reinstalled the 6 phillips head screws to secure the cover. There was no need to replace the gasket, so I'm holding on to it for future use.

Removed about 7 screws, unplugged the wiring, plugged the new handle / switch in, replaced screws and I was done!

Opened it up, replaced, closed it back. Didn't bother installing the gasket since that's still in good shape.

1. turn off power
2. put an old blanket on the floor under the opened door.
3. unscrew six phillips screws (it's not necessary to unscrew all the screws, only the ones at the top)
4. remove two torque screws securing handle
5. remove handle
6. unplug four leads one at a time transferring leads to new handle in the same location
7. replace two torque screws
8. replace six phillips screws

Two rollers on the lower rack were missing and one was flattened. I popped off the bad roller and snapped the three new rollers in place, all by hand. Took about 60 seconds.

Turned power off to dishwasher. Removed 6 front cover screws,removed switch screws and moved switch so I could see wires . Unwired switch by sliding off wire connectors paying attention to wire positions. Installed new switch, rewired and installed front cover. Very easy replacement.

I snapped on the new roller and bingo! problem solved.

I actually didn't. I watched my husband replace the latch and gasket. All he used were screwdrivers to remove the panel on the inside of the door. The latch assembly had to plug in and two screens. He unscrewed, unflugged the broken unit, replaced it with the new by screwing in the two screens and plugging the the prongs into the panel. He then put the door cover back on. It took about 10 minutes and the dishwasher is as good as new!!

I read other descriptions on how to repair this item at this site. All were spot on. Simply unscrew the control panel (6 screws on inside of unit), then unscrew the two screws holding the latch in place (it's a one piece unit), then remove the (4) leads to the latch paying attention to where each of the colored wires goes...re-attach all screws and you are done. It worked like a breeze after I was done. I did forget to turn off the power to the dishwasher as I thought i did but due to the broken latch the unit wouldn't function so I misjudged it. Next time (hopefully there isn't one) I will make sure power is off. I didn't use the gasket but have it in case something leaks down the road. Took less than 10 minutes and my 11 year old son helped too!

Took off 2 screws and took the old detergent holder off and put the new one on....Very easy...took all of 5 mins
