Lower dishwasher rack was deteriorating (extensive rust) and needed to be replaced
The lower dish rack rolls directly out of the dishwasher without problem - there is no permanent attachment. The new rack comes as a kit, which includes the 4 required dish rack wheels (Part # 6 in the diagram). One part (only) from the original dish rack needs to be removed and re-installed on the new rack - the upper spray arm tower (Part #5 in the diagram). That is easily removed from the original rack with a 1/8 counterclockwise turn, to disengage the 'feet', and installed on the new rack with a 1/8 clockwise turn. The kit is designed to allow for use on multiple models, so there are 'extra' parts left over, after it is used for the DU8500XX-2 dishwasher. These can be discarded.

Dishwasher door very heavy to lift or drop down due to broken spring.
Was very easy to replace broken spring which required each end of spring to be reconnected to bracket located on the door and frame of the dishwasher. Was able to complete without moving the entire dishwasher frame.

Door leaking water.
The old gasket around the door pulled out easily but was pretty nasty. While cleaning the channel out, kept finding more gunk that had built up. I decided to go ahead and take off the Inner Door. Used Torx driver to take off the screws. Found a tremendous amount of gunk built up. Was well worth taking the extra time to clean it all out. Replaced the Inner Door and put new gasket in channel. No more leaking!

Leaking Dishwasher
I poked the old gasket with a fork tine so I could get a grip on the old gasket as I didn't have pliars, pulled it out in less than 4 seconds, folded the new gasket in half and started center top of the slot the old gasket was in and pushed the new gasket in on each side from the top to the bottom. Very easy. I'd say it took me longer to open the package with my teeth than in doing all of the above.

My original part was broken. Almost unusable.
Replacement part came. It was broken. I took pics of it, and send the pics and an email to PartSelect. They put another replacement part in the mail on the spot. I was shocked! The 2nd one arrived in perfect condition. BONUS POINT to PartsSelect!

Dirty Dishes
Nozzle cap rubber housing was split and cracked. It simply unscrews. The replacement was a matter of screwing the new nozzle cap on. My wife was trusted with this installation. Believe me, this indicates how easy it was.

lower rack started to rust through coating
Since there were no printed instructions, we looked at the photo schematic.
Reassembly using the photo was easy by putting the old rack alongside the new one and adjusting the new rack spacing to match the old one.
We also had new wheels which snapped on.
We were delighted to repair and replace this good, older dishwasher rather than purchase a new one!
