Worn out detergent dispenser
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.

Top rack slider piece broke
I replaced the holder that connects the top dishwasher rack on the drawer slide. I took it apart carefully so I could remember how to assemble everything back. I did have trouble for a few minutes to get it clipped and I checked the opposite side. After I pondered it for a few moments and did a couple of trial runs at it, it magically slid into the slot, the other did, too, and it was good to go. So very, very pleased!

The wheel fell from the lower dish rack--the front left hand side.
We snapped the old one off --it did not break. We positioned the new one in the right place making sure that the slot in the middle matched up with the longitudinal wire of the rack and snapped it in place. EASY!

The instructions were not clear and had no illustrations
I just looked at the matching piece on the other side of the rack and used it as a guide to install the new part.

Original door seal came out while emptying dishwaher. It was pretty messy so i ordered a new one.
I just followed the directions on the video that was part of the pictures for the door seal. I made sure that the channel was clean and the new seal pressed right in. i wish I had checked this site before I called a repairman, who wanted to charge me over $400 for a new one.

Dishwasher wasn't draining
The video does a great job explaining the repair. I took the unit completely away from the wall and put it on its side, which I recommend. Only problem I had was getting the new part in the correct orientation to lock... try to pay attention to how the failed pump is facing when you remove it.
I ended up replacing the supply line as well as just moving it around caused a drip leak, guess it was about to fail. Pro tip: don't remove the old line until you have the new line in hand... but that's a story for another day.

Water leaking from out the bottom of door.
Watched the video provided by this site on changing a dishwasher door seal and then replaced my seal as per video. Very simple task. I think the key point of installation is folding the new seal in half to get the midpoint and then inserting that spot first using door latch as midpoint guide and bring the seal around both corners to the bottom. Works perfect.
