The machine was not draining properly and dishes were not being cleaned thoroughly
The video was great! I couldn't have done it without it. The repair took me a little longer than expected because I did not have the right tools (torx head screwdriver), but once I went out and bought it, the rest was fairly easy. The old impeller had some build-up on it, so it was pretty hard taking it off the motor shaft: this was one of the hardest parts, since I was afraid of forcing it out and breaking something. Once I cleaned up the motor shaft, however, the new impeller went in easily. Both the old impeller and washer seal were damaged. Overall, I was very happy with Partselect's fast shipping, easy-to-use website and incredibly helpful installation videos. The machine is now not only NOT leaking anymore, but dishes are coming out MUCH cleaner. The dishwasher is over ten years old, so I was happy that this low-cost fix made such a big difference and we didn't have to buy a whole new dishwasher.

The motor was spinning freely and not pumping out the water.
We followed the excellent video until we couldn't remove the outlet impeller because the motor shaft was not being held by the failed impeller. We drilled small holes around the impeller shaft until we could break off the upper part of the pump shell. Then we could hold the motor shaft with a vice-grip pliers by squeezing the shaft of the remaing impeller piece. We then removed the retaining screw and the rest of the impeller. Then evrything went well by following the video. There was still a bit of doubt because we discarded more old parts then expected but the machine now works well and we see no leaks.
