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!

Soap door wouldn't open.
I looked online to see a video. Dad to pop lid off soap dispenser. Slide a plastic part to the left n the spring slide off. Video showed how to place prongs on spring . Then had to lift the upper part of spring to lift onto plastic part of soap dispenser. That was it.
Unfortunately it still doesn't work. I asked Ina email to your company for any suggestions, No reply.

P piece of the adjuster rack was deteriorated and broke off
Crazy Glued it together until we received the new part, but it fell off again. My husband installed the new piece and said it only took him about 2 minutes. You just take off the end cap and pop in the new piece and adjust to match the one on the other side of the rack. He said it was extremely easy and no tools required.

Remodeling a house and front panel on dishwasher was bent and needed replaced. I just measured panel and ordered without a model or part number. Was so lucky the panel fit perfect.
Just took old panel off and went side to side and then slide panel under front trim. Of course it was easier because the bottom door trim was off and now I have to find that replacement part. Not having any luck with that!
