Missing tub gasket
I think the videos on the site are awesome. Made both repairs after watching them. They explain the repairs in a simple to follow way.

The door springs were broken and the dorr was very heavy to open and close.
I removed the two screws and then moved the dishwasher out a little bit (about 6 inches). I pushed the dishwasher toward one side to make room for me to change the spring with my hand and repeated the same procedure for the other side. After the spring change, I turned an old dishwasher to a new one.

Lower dishwasher rack tips were rusty
Slid the old rack out, removed the silverware basket and put in new rack, and slid the new rack in. Had to use the pliers to attach a wheel that came off during shipping.

Badly rusted racks
First, I was so pleased to find these parts at such reasonable prices! Sure beats replacing a dishwasher in terms of money and labor. I'd already studied the online instructions a couple times before ordering and checked to make sure my racks dis-assembled as shown. They did, I ordered, got the new racks within days and installed both in under ten minutes. Great service and awesome installation videos. I will definitely check this site if I need replacement parts for anything else in the future. THANKS so much!

Bottom Of The Door Was Leaking
First of all, I got the part 24 hours after I ordered it. That in it self was a feat. Second, I followed everyone elses instructions, pulled the old gasket out with a pair of needle nose pliers, cleaned the area as good as I could, found the notch for the slot on the gasket to slide into and viola...it slid in and stayed in. No more leakage whatsoever! Thanks for all of the tips!

Door latch broken
This was a dishwasher that my employer threw out due to the excessive time it was going to take getting the broken part - all of the appliance stores I contacted had them backordered. Since I'm a DIY and Internet savvy person, I decided to go to the Internet page and use the IPB to determine the correct part, and ordered it. I installed the dishwasher, and waited...
10 days after ordering the part, it came right to my door. Installation was very simple; remove 7 Phillips screws from the front panel to access the latch mechanism, remove the two Torx screws holding the latch assembly, disconnect the wires from the latch assembly, and do the reverse procedure to re-install. No latch alignment was necessary, just screw the assembly right back in place. (Yes, I made sure the power had been disconnected!) The door gasket did not need to be replaced at this time.
A very quick and simple procedure for the DIY-type person that can handle simple tools.

Leaking Dishwasher
The old gasket was worn. I pulled out the old one, put in the new gasket. I trimmed the ends to fit and that was it.

Our latch had broke and and needed to be replaced.
This repair project was easy enough that my 15 yr old son had it almost all done without me. The hardest part was getting the wires unplugged from the old latch. Once we got the pliers out to help us get a grip, everything went smoothly!
This was a quick and easy fix for an older dishwasher that still works!

Door latch snapped off
Viewing the instruction video provided online made my repair process extremely easy. Only thing that held me up was finding a tool to help me remove the torque screws from the latch. Thank goodness for inheriting my grandfather's tools and eventually finding the right bit. The latch came with a new gasket but I recommend not replacing it if it's not necessary. I did replace ours at first but it was too thick and caused our dishwasher to leak. So I placed our original gasket back after cleaning it up and it works just fine. This wife was able to complete this project with two kids under the age of 4 and a hyper border collie running around while the husband was at work.
