Top rack kept coming off the left slide track
I followed the video and even though my dishwasher was slightly different from the one shown, everything worked well. I was lucky that I had enough clearance to pull the dishwasher away from the countertop far enough to make the repair, without having to remove any dishwasher wiring below. I replaced both side tracks, even though only the left side was broken.

Water leaking around door and latch mechanisim seems to have failed
Still not sure it is repaired. Still have water leakage around upper edge of door on control data panel. We just experienced an issue with the auto drain system, the first since door seal repair and door latch replacement???? Is the latching mechanism suppose to secure the door?
If so it isn't?
Not a great success story. A new washer may be in the cards

PartSelect Scammers
PartSelect intentionally shipped obsolete part that could not possibly fit a dishwasher. The part looked to be a rectangle door seal for a freezer/ref. You make it impossible to return the part. I find it interesting that you sent the correct install video and wrong part.
Suggestion: After you print a shipping label take a picture of the part and shipping label before it is boxed. The customer should not have to send you a picture of the wrong part and the serial number of the appliance for a refund. You did not need the serial number to ship it.

I will never use your company again William Dewberry

The Broan downdraft vent fan turned itself on at random times and ran continuously without input.
I could not effect a repair because the parts did not arrive on the promised date and after several calls I still do not know when they will arrive or even if they have been shipped.

Spot welds on track rusted and broke.
Pulled out dishwasher, removed 4 bolts holding the track to the dishwasher, replaced track and installed the 4 bolts. Pushed back the dishwasher and works like new. The new tracks are riveted instead of spot weld and will last longer.

The original Tine Pivot had broken
I looked at the position of the remaining Tine Pivot, since there are four on this dishwasher upper rack, and positioned the replacement pivot and pressed it into place. It was a snap (excuse the pun!). NOTE: My dishwasher's Model Number was not in the list provided herein. I had to search a couple of models to find the Upper Rack that looked like ours and to find the Tine Pivot replacement part that looked like ours.That process took longer than the "repair".

Plastic pieces snapped off upper rack adjuster
This was so simple! Some plastic tabs snapped off the upper rack adjuster in our dishwasher (which is not even 4 years old, so you can see how crappily made these things are), rendering the entire appliance unusable since the water sprayer thingie attaches to the underside of the upper rack. I was able to easily find replacement rack adjusters on PartSelect and thanks to the repair video, was able to install them in about 20 minutes. Most of that was rewinding the video since I had trouble getting the broken adjusters off! So delighted to have been able to do this myself and avoid paying $$$ for a repairman call out and replacement parts.
