Top rack of dishwasher kept pulling all the way out
Our dishwasher's top rack would pull too far out which made it hard to stay in alignment. It had lost it's track stop. I easily ordered the part from PartSelect, and it came more quickly than I expected; I clicked it in place and it runs like new. It's wonderful to deal with a company that knows the frustration of not having your appliance in good working orfer.
Thank you.

Upper dishrack roller assembly in slide rail broke, causing upper dishrack to sag
I used a flat blade screwdriver to compress one arm of the endcap of the slide rail to free it. I then slid up the locking slide of the old roller assembly freeing it from the upper basket,and put the new part in its place. I then put the roller back in the slide rail and replaced the endcap.

Old door gasket was leaking.
Watched YouTube first of course. Pulled off the old gasket, found the center of the new gasket and started installing the gasket from the very top and all the way down the sides. I made sure it was in tightly and smooth. No more leak, should have listened to my wife sooner!

Drain pump malfunction/melting
My dishwasher wasn't completing cycles and would start to smell like burning plastic randomly. I determined it wasn't coming from inside the tub but underneath the unit. I replaced the drain pump and the drain hose as a precaution to make sure the check valve inside wasn't getting stuck closed forcing the pump to not be able to drain. It was a very easy repair that just involved taking the dishwasher out of the cabinet and turning it on its side. The old pump just twists out and the new one goes in just as easy no tools required. The video instructions on the product page here were very helpful. The hose connects with a clamp and is routed on the side with some plastic clips. It was very easy and completely solved the problem!

Replacing upper rack rollers
Followed very simple instructions to easily install. The only tool needed was a flathead scredriver to pop off caps to remove old, broken rollers. New rollers simply click into place. Piease aren't cheap, but significantly less than a new dishwasher.

Drain pump had something lodged in it
In all honesty, it took me longer to remove the dishwasher than it did to install the new drain pump.
Pull the plug to kill the power, turn the water supply valve to off and disconnect the water supply hose.
Disconnect the drain hose and drain the water from it into a small tub.
Remove the two "anti-tilt" screws from the top of the D-washer
Remove the two screws holding the "toe kick" plate in place, remove the plate and place of to the side.
If needed, raise the front feet/legs, slide the D-washer out until you can reach the back legs, raise if needed, and side the washer the rest of the way out.
Lay out a towel on the floor, lay the washer on it back. You will see the discharge pump (the one with the big hose coming out of it), remove the hose clamp and hose from the pump.
Disconnect the little power plug from the pump
On the opposite side of the little plug is a gray little plastic tab, squeeze it and rotate the pump counterclockwise about an inch, the pump should fall out in your hand.
Take the new pump, rub a little dish soap (not that crappy hand cleaner stuff) on the rubber gasket and install the new pump making sure the little plug receptacle is facing you and rotate it until it stops, you should hear a small "click"
Now follow all the steps in reverse to put everything back together.
This site has a great, short video that covers everything I have mentioned above.

Stripped the fill valve when installing
I'm the maintenance supervisor at an apartment complex. While installing a new dishwasher for a tenant, I inadvertently cross-threaded the swivel connector to the fill valve. The valve was ruined and couldn't be repaired. I ordered a new valve (it was an OEM) and installed it. Simple switch out, plus the video from Parts Select showed I had done it right.
