Very easy to remove the broken one and just clip in the new one.

Pulled up old spray arm and snapped new on in place. Took less than a minute and no tools. Dishwasher is like new again.

Followed the repair video supplied by the site

Watch video and followed instructions. Very easy!

lower wash arm cracked by spinning into items hanging out of bottom of basket. part twists and snaps right in. glue did not fix.

After replacing the door seal and the dishwasher still leaked a lot of water out the bottom of the door, I read posts by a couple of other DIY who said the lower spray arm can split at the seam and cause this. One post noted it is very difficult to determine if this is the problem, that you may have to take the blade of a screwdriver and try to pry the seam apart gently to see if a gap does appear with very little force being applied. If so, then just imagine what happens when that very hot water makes that plastic more flexible and then the seam opens and forces waves of water against the lower door. I could see a small seam split using that strategy and when I replaced the spray arm, my leak stopped. I don't regret replacing the door seal as it had a couple of small tears and hard water deposits all over it, so it was time to do that even though it was not the culprit for the extensive leak. The arm is SO EASY to replace, just twist the plastic nut under it and it pops right off. Put the new one on and twist the nut the other way and it secures it.

The old filter simply unscrews and the new one screws in.

It was very easy.

Very easy. I removed the two screws on the base plate, then the two screws that attach the washer to the cabinet, and pulled the washer out of its slot. I installed the broken side and closely checked the other side and felt it didn't need repairing. I put it back together and the door works very well.

Thanks,

1) Pull out dishwasher from under counter. 2) Disconnect spring located at the bottom on each side of dishwasher. 3) Using socket remove pulley wheels from each side at bottom. 4) Install new pulleys on each side. 5) Wind pulley cord around both wheels and attach to one end of the spring on each side. 6) Using pliers extend other spring end to lower frame of dishwasher on each side. 7) Open and close dishwasher door to test. 8) Replacement complete

Was a simple task to perform, a child could have done it. The technical skills diagnosing it was a bit hard though. The skills finding the culprit was indeed simple. Rubber was torn. Dishes would not come clean especially on the top & would not dry properly. The rubber piece being torn in half made it hard for the water & soap to despense to the top through thh center plastic tube, but now it cleans great. Thank's
Now to find out why it won't dry properly at the heating element is another task. It leaves water droplets on the dishes.
Once I got the rubber screw on attachment installed the dishes are clean & dry now & no water dropplets on the dishes.
The water dispenses up to the top like it suppost to throught the small tube to wash the upper rack dishes.
The wife is happy now she doesn't have to clean & dry them by hand.
Thank's so very much!!
Now on to the next project in hand to submit later on.

I am an 84 year-old woman so I asked another woman friend to help me. We removed both shelves from interior of dishwasher then unscrewed the first screw of the slim plastic piece on the top of the interior; then the second screw. We pulled the plastic piece gently down, removed the little round part out of the groove. We placed the new round part in the groove (ball down), pushed the spinner onto it so it would click on & hold. That required a bit of strength. Replaced screws & it was done!

Removed the 10 screws holding the inner panel to the outer panel of the door. Removed inner panel to access latch/switch, then removed 2 screws to remove latch/switch. Then disconnected the 2 wires to the switch, connected wires to the new latch/switch and installed. Replaced all screws and voila, a working dishwasher! An easy 20 minute job with the help of the video.

0) assure main power was off
1) Opened up the panel assembly according to the instructions and the partselect video using the torx driver.
2) snipped the wires from the old part
3) patched in the new part by twisting the wire ends, inserting them into the assembly and tightening the screws.

Had my dishwasher up and running again within 15 minutes.

After replacing garbage disposal. I referred to you video you sent me when i received the new replacement hose. That made it look very easy to install. Thank you for all your help and support.
