The part arrived quickly and I got right to work. I had to buy a T20 tool to get the door front off, but had all other needed tools.
Getting the dishwasher out of my cabinet was hard but that had more to do with how tightly it was fitted and some layers of uneven flooring that got stuck as we tried to pull it out.
Once we had it out I realized we didn’t have the same easy access to the circulation/heat pump as in the video on this listing. Ours was in the middle of the bottom of the dishwasher and required a 15 step process to remove the bottom of the dishwasher before the part could be replaced. I was about to give up since I had no idea how to take the bottom off until I found another video with nearly my exact dishwasher (on Appliance Parts Pros) that showed the steps to take everything apart and put it back together. Once I got to the actual part, which took minutes to switch out, it was super easy. Putting the dishwasher back together was a bit more challenging — the cords for the door springs fell off during repair but I found another appliance parts pros video that showed me how to put those back on— but luckily everything eventually came back together and thankfully the part replacement fixed my issue.
Unfortunately now the ancient water shut off valve for the dishwasher that’s in my basement is leaking and needs to be replaced, but that’s life! I saved enough money repairing the dishwasher myself so I have some leftover to call a plumber.
Highly recommend ordering parts from this company. Their how to fix videos are fantastic and I couldn’t have fixed my dishwasher without them! My husband is impressed and now thinks I can fix anything that breaks!
