Wheels on Rack Needed to be Replaced
A VERY easy repair! I simply pried off the old wheel assemblies with a screw driver and popped on the new ones. I was a little concerned about the new ones fitting correctly as the dishwasher is over 25 years old, but after a week they still work fine. An easy fix to an annoying problem....wish I had ordered these ages ago! Bottom rack of my dishwasher now rolls in and out like new (instead of the the few remaining wheels constantly falling off!) Very happy I ordered these and delivery was quick.

Dishwasher wouldn't drain
Turn off the breaker to the dishwasher - there will be water very near the motor and other electrical components. I first scooped and towelled all the water out of the bottom of the dishwasher. The drain valve can be accessed from the bottom front of the dishwasher without pulling the unit out from under the counter. There were 4 screws to remove the 2 bottom metal panels. Next use pliers to loosen and slide back the hose clamp connected to the drain. Have a towel ready and pull the drain hose off the white check valve. The check valve can then be removed by unscrewing it - you may need to use pliers. Put the new one on and everything back together.

the rollers were completly broken off & I had to lift the bottom tray in/out of the dishwasher
popped off the old rollers + tracks; then snapped on the new ones; as my granddaughter would say "easy peasy lemon squeezy". Took hardly any time at all. :-)

broken door spring
Very easy. Slide the dishwasher out a few inches, install spring per the good instructions, and slide the dishwasher back. Service was amazing. Part arrived just over 24 hours after I made the on-line order. I will use Part Select for all my future appliance parts needs.

Lid Spring
Performed repair as to Video shown in receipt after purchase of spring plus we used a friend who has same dishwasher and has performed the same repair recently, video was easier to follow though. All you do is push off lid with a screwdriver and pop off as per instructions on video then unlatch spring from ledge and pull off post, then just reinsert new spring in reverse order or follow video instructions either way is easy and takes about 15-20 minutes to install

clear/clean water filling bottom of dishwasher when not in use
This Whirlpool model has the water inlet valve located in the front left of the dishwasher. It was not necessary to remove the dishwasher from under the cabinet. Disconnect the power at the breaker box and turn off the water supply to the dishwasher. Place a towel under the Valve as there will be a small amount of drainage from the water lines and the Valve when disconnected. After removing the front plate on the bottom, I could easily access the 2 screws securing the Water Inlet Valve. Disconnect the water lines on the Inlet Valve and the power connection. . Mount the new Water Inlet Valve, re-connect the water lines and the power connection to the Valve. Turn on water supply and check for leaks. Turn on power.

detergent dispencer door spring and pin worn
I installed the opener spring in the direction it was needed to open the door then installed the pin. I placed the door in the position it goes and took a pair of pliers and squeezed the pin into the pin slot. the spring has to be forced into a tension position. I did this by sliding the spring to one side and forcing it into position, the other side is done the same way. works great

One spring on a dishwasher door was broken
I simply looked at the remaining spring to see which notch it needed to be attached to. I went in very well using a long needle nose plier. Works great.

Dishes not clean and soap dispenser not completely rinsed out.
I looked in the bottom of the dishwasher after browsing the website regarding possible solutions. When I removed the bottom spray arm I noticed three screws missing from the pump housing. The loose pump outlet had allowed the seal to push out. Ordered-Normal shipping on the part.
