plastic in silverware basket cracked so utensils kept falling through/getting stuck
The basket did not include the handle (something I didn't notice when I ordered it). I simply removed the handle from the old basket and placed it on the new basket.
Having utensils falling through was really getting old. This was $25 well spent.

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 silverware basket needed replacement since there were cuts in some places on the bottom which caused utensils to fall partway through.
Very simple. Just replaced the old one with the new one. Voila!!!

Old wheels had broken at their "axle"
Pulled the removable end caps off of the sliding track that the wheels roll on and then pulled the top tray out of the dishwasher (works like a sliding drawer in your kitchen). Removed a half dozen hex screws and threw out the old wheel housing. Set the new wheel housing and new wheels in its place and re-inserted the hex screws. Slid the top tray back into the sliding track and re-inserted the end caps. Done.

Dishwasher arm keeps falling off.
I bought 2 Maytag appliances, a microwave and a dishwasher - they are both crappy!
The top plastic spray arm kept falling off into the top shelf of the dishwasher, causing all of the glasses on that shelf to come out dirty.
The arm has a small bracket that can snap off and on the main water tube easily without tools.
Changing it was a snap!

The door didn't seal tight. So when it would go into rinse mode it would leak water on my floor
The repair went easy. Just unscrewed the inside door panel and latch assembly. Then put the new one in. The only bad thing was I purchased the latch assembly with out the handle and found out mine was cracked. I looked back on-line and couldn't find just the handle. Everybody sold it with the latch assembly. I thought I would save the 2 bucks buying the assembly without the handle. But in the end the door seals tight and no water leaks.
