The filter had become brittle and needed replacement.
removed the bottom rack and the lower spray arm. With a star point screw driver removed 6 screws to take off pump housing. Lifted out the old filter. carefully bent the new filter (shipped flat) into a circle and connected end clips. Replaced bottom edge of filter into groove. Replaced pump housing and spray arm. Back in business!

Motor runs, no water sounds, poor cleaning
Disassembled spray arm the way the website describes. Found an amazing accumulation of scale and soap scum. Everything was seriously gunked up. Cleaning and rodding out the spray arms and pump housing screens takes a minute. Be careful not to break or puncture the screens. Dont try slapping the pump housing filter on the driveway. Its brittle and will break. Suggest buying a new one anyway. Its nearly impossible to clean. Simply clean it all up and re-assemble. Oh and bask in the praise from your wife.

Dishwasher would pump the used water out.
Changed float switch to no avail! Ladeled out the water. Disassembled the entire pump unit inside down to the motor shaft and checked all pieces for trouble. Could find nothing wrong. Now trying to determine if the problem is in the timer or motor.

Not cleaning properly due to clogged parts.
I disassembled parts from the lower Spray arm to the Rinse Arm. Everything was gunked up, nothing was broken. I replaced the Lower Spray Arm, Secondary Filter, Pump Housing Filter and the Rinse Arm. I re-used The Radiant Shields, Filter Plate, Lower Spray Arm Seals and the O-Ring. Much of my time was spent cleaning before re-assembly. Assembly was no problem. I ran the machine afterward with no problems and very good cleaning results. I ran the videos once before starting. They were very helpful, as were some other people's experiences.

The door spring broke in half on the front door of a twenty two year old Maytag dishwasher
Easy repair, I put small marks under the counter to make sure the dishwasher went back in the same spot for easy screwing back in

Mice living behind the dishwasher
Mice were living behind and on top of the dishwasher and destroyed the pad. Had to throw it away. Ordering you was easy, and the pad fit perfectly.
