Using one of your videos, I used a circuit tester to determine if the element was intact. It was faulty. Getting the part from you went well. Finding the serial numbers using your guidelines, allowed me to order the right replacement heating element. It was just a few days and the part was delivered - everything that I needed. The replacement went well. Even though the access to the terminals was a challenge, your videos helped me and I was able to fix it this afternoon! You really helped me... Read more

Tested starter capacitor at 2.16µF. pic: http://s29.postimg.org/e05fufxdz/IMG_20150716_140312.jpg It should be 15µF. pic: http://s29.postimg.org/x3yrasa87/IMG_20150718_112327.jpg Contrary to service manual, capacitor is not accessible behind the toe/kick-plate; it is underneath but all the way towards the rear.

Ordered upper wash manifold and connecting screw that holds the wash/rinse fan in place. Knocked out the old rusted screw out of the wash/rinse fan and screwed thus in place using the new parts.

Any repair video you need is there waiting for you. 10 years ago I would've no choice but to buy a new dishwasher. Spending $18 and feeling like a champ every time I do the dishes now is a...

Ordered and received the parts quickly. This is a very easy fix. Other posters have said there are 4 screws to remove the old rack adjuster assembly and put the new one on. It was five screws for me. You will need a Torx (star tip) screwdriver. Be sure to also order a new cover. The old one does not fit, even though mine looked almost identical to the new one. You'll also have to take the blue lever that raises and lowers the rack from the old rack adjuster assembly and insert it into the new... Read more

Changing baskets is no-brainer job, as they come complete with all plastics and rollers. Upper slides require removal of the stoppers, but this is easy task, just squeeze them and pull back. After replacing the basket, insert them back. Heating coil is a different story. After chasing Internet for the advise, I found instruction: Remove front bottom cover. Memorize the location of the end of the heating element Unplug the wires and undo the plastic nuts holding element from underneath of... Read more
