Latch had broken on detergent dispenser cover
Remove retainer that holds door color slide in front of door & then remove the slide. Remove cardboard backing, remove electric latch release, remove latch & replace with new one. Open door & slide out the cup dispenser cover pin & spring & replace with new ones. This was all straight-forward & simple.

Detergent dispenser didn't open consistently
My soap dispenser latch was coated in grit, the gasket was deteriorated, and the spring was barely strong enough to open the door, so the door didn't always latch closed or open when it should. I followed the video and everything went exactly as shown. Once the liner was removed, I discovered the back (including the latch mechanism) was covered in soap residue and other gunk. I hosed it off on the backyard and resumed the repair. The dispenser now latches easily and opens with a convincing SNAP. I wouldn't have known how to replace the latch without the video. Great website!

broken door spring
Very easy. Slide the dishwasher out a few inches, install spring per the good instructions, and slide the dishwasher back. Service was amazing. Part arrived just over 24 hours after I made the on-line order. I will use Part Select for all my future appliance parts needs.

Water leaking from the right front of appliance
The repair was simplicity itself. Remover the sprayer arm, removed the torx screws, replaced the seal, and reversed the process of disassembly. When I found out where the dishwasher was leaking from, I called KitchedAid and was ready to replace the overflow float. The part was 42.00 and wouldn't have fixed the problem. When I found this web site and read other peoples experience, I checked the pump seal, and it was obvious that it had blown out. That saved me a Loy of time and money.

Several of the wheels for the lower rack had fallen off.
I removed the rack and then pushed down on the old rollers to remove them from the rack. I then installed the new rollers in the same location.

rattle in the dishwasher, not working
My husband took the dishwasher apart three times, it was a little frustrating, but was worth the $50 part because it made his wife, very, very happy! A dishwasher operating is on the top 5 list of favorite electronic items in our house.

Gasket around nozzle cap wouldn't stay on - in two pcs.
As there was not a replacement gasket listed in the parts lists or schematics, I ordered the entire nozzle cap hoping the gasket would come with it. It didn't so I glued the gasket in place and installed the new cap. I also replaced the washer arm bearing while I had the cap off. I am hoping the nozzle stays in place.
