Do-It-Yourself Story

I ordered a replacement valve and installed it. No problems with the actual repair, but sliding my dishwasher out from under the counter turned out to be a nightmare. It seems the folks who installed my wood floor decided to end the flooring a few inches past the front of the dishwasher. When I tried to pull it out, its back support got caught on the ends of the flooring and eventually came off. It took a lot of effort and some salty language, but I finally got it to slide out. After that everything went well. My best advice is to watch the how-to videos carefully (your video on removing the front panel was great), keep calm, and be prepared for the unexpected.
