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.

Tube had badly disintegrated/needed replacement
I took the old tube out and put the new tube on with my bare hands! (I am woman, hear me roar! ;)) It was a little difficult forcing the tube into its place, but that is the only way it can channel water effectively into the upper part of the dishwasher.Didn't realize it had disintegrated because the part which had disintegrated was the bottom part of the tube, which cannot easily be seen. Finally part of the tube dropped off and I realized what needed to happen. Glad I could get the replacement part.

A few rollers and axels had gone missing
Easily one of the easiest repairs I have ever done. The new bits snapped into place and now the bottom rack rolls in and out like brand new.The ease and speed of finding the parts was really helpful. This is an old model and to be able to find the exact parts I needed so fast and so cheap was great. Oh and they arrived the day after I ordered them! Insanely fast!

Rubber Water Delivery Tube Had Disintegrated With Age..Was Almost 16 Yrs. Old!
Removed top basket from dishwasher and turned over for better access to delivery tube, then removed tube and installed new tube. I re-mounted the basket and job was finished in all of about 15 minutes. . . Couldn't have been easier.

The rubber water delivery tube was deteriorating and looked awful.
When we received the new rubber water delivery tube we removed the old one, which ended up coming out in pieces, then installed the new one. Our dishwasher looks clean and just like new now. This is a great service. Thank you.

water delivery tube completely disintergrated leaving only attachment at each end
Since there was little left of this hose removal at each end was very easily done. Replacing new one took only a few minutes and although I had hair dryer available it was not necessary. Son did the repair 1 2 3. Cannot believe I waited so long to order this part - mainly thinking of cost to have a repairman come in and do the job. Will use you again.

Moved, New Dishwasher tube was moldy
Cut the old tube off and slid the new tube on. Make sure that the hole in the center of the tube is down because it is a drain. Supper simple. Be careful not to force anything because the plastic parts of the dishwasher want to snap. And if its the same older model I fixed, the aged plastic will want to crack. Partselect.com did an awesome job at delivering a $10 part in 2-3 days. Will be back for more parts!

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!!!

Rubber Delivery tube for upper rack acquired a crack or hole in the tube
Repair was really easy. Tube is flexable so it was just a matter of pulling it off each end where it was attached and replaced the new one.
