the plastic roller axles had become brittle, and were breaking, dislodging the little wheels that guide the lower rack in and out of the unit smoothly
broke off the remaining roller axles, pushed the new roller axles into place, then snapped the little wheels onto new axles. I FELT LIKE WONDER-WOMAN, FIXING MY OWN DISHWASHER!!!

Ordered axles to replace several originals which had broken.
The installation video is excellent. What should have been a simple fix proved to be difficult for me. Perhaps a function of not enough hand strength to "snap" the axles in place. After trying to use a screwdriver to pry open a side enough to slide on and soaking in hot water to make the axles more pliable -- neither of which worked -- I turned the rack on its side, inserted the axle in the opening and then stepped on it. Voila! That worked beautifully and the next two were easy using the "stand-on-it" method. For anyone with a similar issue as far as hand strength, I recommend this method.

A broken spring.
Removed bottom cover. Opened the door to take pressure off old springs. Removed the both old springs,with pliers. Replaced with the new springs. The new springs are not adequate for our heavy door.Our door has a wood, cabinet matching cover. The door falls down, if not held firmly. The springs are not as heavy duty as the old ones.

Soap Cup Lid was not opening during main wash cycle
Very easy. Disconnect power to the dishwasher via a breaker or fuse. Open the door and remove just the 4 screws on the inside lip of the door. Do not remove the screws hoding the closing brackets. Remove the front glass and chrome panel between the control panel and the kick panel. This will give you access to the soap cup and bi-metal. Remove the one retaining screw and remove the bi-metal,taking note of the position of the wires. Remove the wires, by grasping the connectors (I used needle nose pliers for this), not the wires, and re-intsall them on the new bi-metal. Re-install bi-metal on soap cup assembly, "cock" the release lever by closing the soap cup cover and manually trip the bi-metal to make sure it will release the lever and open the cover. Re-install the front panel with screws. Restore power and test appliance.
