Changed the spray arm seal. Toughest part was removing the stops at the end of the slides. Used pliers to squeeze the tabs and to pull the stops out. Pulled out rack, flipped over removed 1 screw, pulled spray arm off, old seal off, cleaned any debris and reinstalled in reverse order. Dispenser: Opened door, removed all screws, excep ...

Even though the video for the detergent dispenser said it was for my model #, my front panel was different and I had to remove screws across the top of the door also. Used 2 squeeze clamps to hold front panel in place while removing and reinstalling screws. Good thing I did, there was a ribbon connector and wire to the electronics that could have been damaged if the panel was allowed to fall. Unplugged ribbon wire. Unplugged single wire to the dispenser. Removed the screws to the dispenser. Reverse for reassembly.

It definitely looked worn - so I ordered a new one. In getting to the chopper assembly, I had to remove the lower spray arm and the spray arm seal was frayed - so I ordered a new one. Then since the lower spray arm seal looked bad, I decided to take apart the upper spray arm assembly and that spray arm seal also looked quite worn - so I ordered a new one. Fortunately the video I found on line to disassemble my 10 year old Kenmore referred me to this site. This site had even better videos for replacing the above named parts. Furthermore, when they sent the "parts" they included links in their email for videos showing a step wise approach to replacing all 4 parts that I had ordered. They were the BEST instructions/videos. My 10 year old Kenmore is cleaning like a brand new dishwasher! Everything is clean and sparkling!
