Dishwasher 22 years old....have been told no longer built in this country....badly rusted tynes on the bottom rack, leaving rust spots on dishes.
Ready to slide in, except for removing rollers & bumpers from old rack & placing on the new rack. Husband did this very easily, in less than 15 minutes.
Dishwasher still in great working order after all these years, afraid to replace it with a lesser quality today.
Rack arrived in 4 days! Wonderful!
Only minor glitch...came white, instead of blue....but WHO CARES....fits beautifully. Very happy I decided to spend the money on the "old" dishwasher! (Would have done this sooner if I'd known parts were still available.)

light wont come on
Well, when you put the back cover on and screw it down make sure you have nothing touching the white wire leading to the oven light. I did and it blew the push switch when I threw the 220 breaker. Actually, the light was on when I came in the room, but when I pushed the switch on the front panel it sparked in the rear and popped the breaker. Then I saw the short and when I tested the switch it would not click. The install was fine.

roller axles had broken releasing wheels
I ordered 8 new axles and used old wheels. I broke off the remaining axle parts left on the wire lower basket with just my hands, and then popped on the new axles. This was done without tools; just needed significant pressure to pop the axles onto the coated wire. The wheels popped onto the axles with a little pressure. Make sure you have the right side of the wheel out. I simply looked at the remaining working wheels before install began to make sure which side goes out. Very easy install.

Diswasher parts worn out.
My parts really did not require tools to install , although the dishrack rollers may require some persuasion for someone with weak hands. The ease of ordering online and delivery was excellent. I will definately be using your service for all my appliance needs

oLD WATER TUBE TORN AT CONNECTION
Used screwdriver to pry off other end of water tube. Kind of cooked on over the years and rear connection point is on a part that is not real strong so you have to be careful to not break or bend the connection. New tube is very tight to get on so putting it on required using the blade of the screwdriver to get the tube to streatch over the two connection points, but not real difficult. Now it's good as new!

Hose was worn out, had holes in it.
First removed old hose from the upper rack. Used hair dryer to heat the hose up ( hose was a little stiff) and installed hose. It's pretty simple to install, I didn't even have to unload the dishwasher

Rubber Water Tube disintegrated from age
The whole operation took about 5 minutes which included opening the package! Sprayed some vegetable spray inside the opening of the water tube that attached to the spray connection and it slipped right on. Absolutely amazing and I feel like I have a brand new dishwater! My dishes are definitely cleaner too! Thank you Parts Select for posting how to instructions!

Glasses on top rack of the dishwasher had soap film on the inside. The rubber distribution hose under the top rack had rotted and split. Didn't see it right away because it split on the bottom.
Part was easy to locate on the website. Photo on the measurement grid was the key after entering the maker and model number. I have found refrigerator parts the same way on this site. Sliced the old rotten hose to remove it. The new hose only had to be slipped over the connections. I soaped the ends of the tube to make the installation easier.

The racks were rusting and staining the dishes.
The rack you sent me didn't have the plastic wheels on the bottom so I had to pry the old ones off and use them.

No water was getting to the upper rack of the dishwasher
I removed the old tube by hand (it fell apart) I just worrked the new softer tube over the openings on each end and it was fixed! I did have to warm the new tube with warm water to squeeze it over the tubes but it was easy!

Rubber water tube had worn out.
I just slipped the old, worn out tube off, warmed the new one in some hot water for a few minutes to make it more pliable, sprayed some non-stick spray on the end connecting in the back, and slipped it on. Piece of cake!
