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.

Top rack of dishwasher fell d/t a broken wheel mount.
I watched the video supplied by PartSelect at time of purchase. The video was perfect. The installation couldn't be easier. The part arrived just in time. We had a family dinner that night. Dishwasher was back up and working again in 7 minutes.

Dishwasher was leaking a lot, 1-2 cups of water
Changed the seal first, very easy, no tools needed either. Helped a little, but still leaking a lot. Changed the lower spray arm and that did it. The video I watched before changing the seal helped a lot, definitely do that first.

Dishwasher filled and emptied water, but would not spray water around during cycle.
Husband is wonderful, tipped dishwasher over on back, disconnected hoses, and drain motor (replaced that a couple years ago), popped out old part, popped in new part. Had me help him keep door open when working from the inside, and flip a plastic holder piece into place on outside. 15 minutes later, I had a dishwasher that worked like new again.

Upper Rack Wheel had fallen apart.
I watched a quick video and replaced it in less than 5 minutes. Video suggested removing the rack.....but I didn't even need to do that.

front track stop broke on both sides of the upper tray
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

The gasket listed on your website is to thick. So after installation the door would close. I put the old gasket back in the door closed. However, the dishwasher still leaks soap after a cycle..
As stated above the repair did not go well because the gasket was too wide and the door would close. Suggest you talk with Whirlpool about the part they sold you for my model of dishwasher.

Old door gasket was leaking.
Watched YouTube first of course. Pulled off the old gasket, found the center of the new gasket and started installing the gasket from the very top and all the way down the sides. I made sure it was in tightly and smooth. No more leak, should have listened to my wife sooner!

Dishwasher circulation pump malfunction
Tipped over washer, removed attachment bolts, installed new pump by clamping water hoses. Be sure to use proper crimping pliers, not the generic slip joint pliers. Replacement pump included required new clamps.
