Total repair time after watching videos was 53 minutes. I estimate I saved between $200 to $300 by doing this myself. If you have any DIY skills, don't hesitate to replace the detergent dispenser yourself.

Removing and installing the new part was fairly simple. We removed the water hose first since it is the easiest to see. We then removed the screw holding the part to the metal frame. We slid out the part out of the holder to remove the black hose and electric plug (it is like the old phone jacks). After it was completely off we plugged in the electric to the new part which was very easy since it can only go in one way. We slid the new part in place and attached the black hose. We attached the piece to the frame with the one screw and last we attached the gold (garden hose) connection. We turned on the water to look for any leaks then turned the power on and ran it through a partial rinse to be sure there were no leaks.

Easy. Part just snapped in and took all of about a minute. Now the top rack doe snot slide back and forth.

Pushed to be into place

Pulled the dishwasher out and took the two door balance links off and put the new ones on and attached to the spring. It was very quick and easy

followed directions, a kid could have done it,

Took out the middle rack. Flipped it over to get a better angle
And popped it back on. Spun it to make sure it would spin. Put the rack back in. Works like a charm.

Slid out dishwasher removed 2 screws put new slide in an tighten screws. Pushed back in rescrewed to counter and was done.

It has brackets that slipped right into the box. The hardest part was reattach the entire box to the side of my dishwasher.
I do feel anyone could do this repair

Reassembled lower access covers using the new screws purchased from parts direct, perfect fit replacement. Hardest part remembering how they fit Dishwasher.

It is easy to change out the part. It seems though the part does not freely spin like it should. Does not seem to be warped but does not free spin.
Maybe the new part does not match??

Just replaced it in the notches that held the rusted tine.

The door balance springs are connected to the door via a nylon cable which snakes through a couple of pulleys. The plastic fastener on the end of one of these cables separated, so the one remaining spring was not able to offset the weight of the door. Easy to fix, just slide the unit out about 15 inches (remove base plate, and undo a couple screws on top) then replace cables. You can buy just the one cable, or for a couple bucks more, both L&R cables and new pulleys. Replaced the pulleys on my unit at the same time (remove one screw and twist out) since the replacement parts were of better quality than my factory parts. Don’t pay a repair guy $250 or more to fix this for you. It’s easy.
