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.

Water wouldn't activate when button pushed to activate
The previous pump needed to be removed, install new. New pump mounting bracket hit existing mounting bracket from an adjacent part. 1. Wire contacts removed 2. Copper incoming line was disconnected from brass elbow. 3. Hose to pump removed using pliers for wire clamp, and flat head screw driver to prod hose off. The used pump is now in one's hand. The new pump would not fit using existing screw holes. The mounting bracket was moved to the left, using the one pre-existing hole and right hole in mounting bracket. The left hole of the mounting bracket was used as location for another hole to be bored/drilled out. Two drill bits of different sizes were used, along with the same sheet metal screw which was in previous mounting bracket assembly. Pump design has been changed from two wire coils to one wire coil. 1. The hose was re-connected using pliers. 2. Copper compression fitting lined up with brass elbow again. 3. Two Wire contacts were attached; previously there were Three contacts. 4. Second screw was added in newly bored hole. Plenty of room moving to the left. There is one loose wire contact.
