Do-It-Yourself Stories from Customers like You Er and rn   Christine B. • Lake Worth , FL • May 19, 2017

My husband expected we needed a new dishwasher but I insisted on trying to fix it first. You need a Torx screwdriver so make sure you have a set. A little difficult to get cover back on and lined up by myself, but I managed and this was my first attempt at major appliance repair. I replaced the entire console and the dispenser. Still working after 3 loads so my husband may have to eventually admit that I fixed it. Read more

Wax motor for detergent/rinse-aid dispenser.

Do-It-Yourself Stories from Customers like You Soap dispenser door wouldn't open   David H. • San Francisco , CA • May 15, 2015

Took door off, saw that dispenser linkage was ok, I could open and close by hand, so figured the wax motor or the wiring to it were most likely the problem. I took off the wax motor ( actuator) and ran 120 volts to it via jumper wires, and it did not move at all, so figured good chance that was the problem. Found part # on your site, received new one quickly from you, put it in and works great. Thanks. Read more
