Hose kept slipping off - stretched out of shape from use and age.
Used a heat gun (or hair dryer could probably work)to stretch the ends of the hose to slip over areas to connect.

The tube on the top split
Our old Kitchenaid Dishwasher was not getting the glasses on the top shelf clean. I looked and found the tube running to the washer arm under the top basket was split.
I replaced the tube. First I put dish soap in the ends of the new tube, so they slipped onto the other parts with only moderate force.
Now the dishwasher is making the glasses in the top basket clean again.
Regards,
Bob

The old tube was worn out and had holes
Took the old one off then used canola oil to put on the inside of the tube and it went on easy.

Cracked water delivery tube
Replaced the tube. It was relatively easy although it did take a small bit of squeezing/reshaping the newer rubber tubing to get it to fit on the outlet (it was a bit snug.)

Axles on lower rack broken
Very, very simple. The axles are nylon plastic and snap into the plastic-coated metal grid that forms the lower dishwasher rack. Over time they get brittle and break.
Replacement consists of snapping the old axle out of the rack and snapping the new one in. I replaced some of the wheels at the same time, as we had lost them. The wheels don't seem to wear out, so if you did this repair in time, you could re-use the wheels.
These little axles are EXPENSIVE ($3.50 each!), but for $30 you can replace all eight of them, and your dishwasher rack will work like new again!

worn rubber tube water feed to upper spin arm in dishwasher
The replacement worked fine, but the website could have been a bit more re-assuring in terms of showing the image of the part. It was not possible on the website to determine whether the piece was going to fit, as the piece as shown was flat/oval on both ends, where the fitting for the water feed is round. The site could have explained that this was flexible material that would form itself to the round feed connection. The measurements of the part should also be given. The price was right, so I bought it anyway, and hoped. As I have said, it DID work fine. You need to clarify the item on the website.

rubber water tube disintegrating
I ran the tube under warm water and it was very easy to connect. I would have done it a lot sooner if I had known how easy it would be to find the part and install it.

Water delivery tube to overhead sprayer punctured from age
I removed the roll out top wire rack of the dishwasher, turned it over and pulled the old punctured water supply tube off the force fit connectors on each end. I put a small amount of vaseline lubricant immediately inside the mouth of the new tube at each end. I pressed the ends of the new tube over the force fit connectors and tested them by shaking the pipe. I replaced the rack and fastened it into place.

A roller came off the bottom washer tray in the dishwasher because of broken axle
I removed the broken axle with the help of a small screwdriver and replaced it with a new one. Then I installed a new roller, which was easy because all I had to do was push it on with my fingers.
One of the easiest repairs I've ever made on anything and now I'm happy because my wife is happy!
