Upper Rack Wheel bracket tabs broke
Remove upper rack slide rail end cap and remove broken bracket. I used a butter knife to pry the end cap off. The bracket was already broke. so it came right out of the slide assembly
I installed the new upper rack wheel assembly into the slide assembly, and re-attached the wheel bracket to the upper dish rack assembly.
I looked at the other side for comparison to make sure I was doing it right. Everything went smoothly & all parts snapped into place like they's suppose too. "And just like that, I was done, and the dishwasher was fixed." :=) easy peasy.. If you have a computer to bring up the illustrations for reference it helps but is not necessary. The other side is also a good reference... Put them repair guys out of business.

dishwasher didn't drain.
Replaced the pump.That wasn't the problem --- if I had it to start over, I'd pull the drain hoses and run the dishwasher to see what water is flowing where. I had a clogged drain --- and maybe something else. Still working through the details.

Top rack broke
I had to replace the whole sliding system on the top rack. Plus the clips holding it. It snapped. I watched the video and did the steps from Steve. The rack slides better than when brand new. Whirlpool wouldn’t pick up phone but part select did. So thank you for being there so I could fix the rack and be able to use the dishwasher again.

Top rack of dishwasher kept pulling all the way out
Our dishwasher's top rack would pull too far out which made it hard to stay in alignment. It had lost it's track stop. I easily ordered the part from PartSelect, and it came more quickly than I expected; I clicked it in place and it runs like new. It's wonderful to deal with a company that knows the frustration of not having your appliance in good working orfer.
Thank you.

Very simple to repair The front track stops just slide into place, easy. When I looked for these parts this place was the least expensive and the quickest delivery I have ever had. Quick, efficient and friendly online staffing. Thank you, Deb

door balance - the nylon cord broke
Received the part. No instructions came with it. Luckily it was pretty simple to figure out. i removed the appliance from under the counter, saw how the part was attached on the other side and simply replaced the other side that was broken. Easy.

Pulley Cable broke on one side of dishwasher and the door was no longer supported when opened
The repair itself was relatively easy. I basically only had to remove the two screws that were securing the diswasher to the cabinetry, disconnected the water line and extended the diswasher out approximately 10 inches. I then replaced the part by hooking the new cable assembly to the spring and using pliers expanded the spring so I could snake the other end of the cable through the pulleys and attach it to the door. The otherside was my guide. This part should be modified to replace the two plastic ends with metal counterparts. This would allow the part to have a longer life especially in my case since the plastic end broke and not the cable itself.
