The silverware basket needed replacement since there were cuts in some places on the bottom which caused utensils to fall partway through.

The spray diverter assembly came off and was locater under the rack next to the heating element - heat melted the plastic diverter and lid
My nephew actually put the new part back on for me. The main problem I had was getting both parts of the diverter ordered at the same time. I had to order the lid after the diverter came in the mail! I did not realize it was a two-part replacement piece. I learned later that the lid was a separate part.

Some of bottom wire in the silverware basket had rusted out allowing silverware to fall through and interfere with rotating arm.
The "repair" was actually a replacement. My wife did it. She took out the old, damaged basket and dropped in the new, replacement basket. She removed the slotted lids because she doesn't think they are necessary and she doesn't like them. I got the old basket for holding small items in my workshop. The lids will be thrown away, unless I can come up with a use for them.

The upper tray came crashing down on top of the lower tray because a couple of wheels let go over time.
I ordered the parts after looking at the diagrams. I ordered a total of 5 pieces.
The parts arrive earlier than expected, and were new, OEM, parts. I cannot stress how important it is to order Original Equipment Manufacturer parts.
I replaced the broken pieces within 30 minutes. Great experience.

The plastic linkage that connect the spring to the door broke
The time to hook up the spring was a minute or two. I simply attached the linkage to the door and then attached the spring to the linkage.The extra time in the repair was re-attaching the cover.
