Looked at Dishwasher. Scratched head and armpit. Told wife I would fix, not repariman. Wife skeptical - shook head. Found schematic on web. Found YouTube video of guy repairing same DW model. Disassembled. Diagnosed problem. Chopper assembly welded in place by water scale -broke removing. Potty mouth. Ordered parts. Waited for parts. Washed dishes by hand. Wife doing ok. Parts arrived (in only a day or two!!! Fed Ex for 7 bucks!! Great deal). Put on nasty t-shirt, baggy shorts. Leaned over to fix DW. Showed butt crack. Wife rolled eyes, left room. Sweated, scraped knuckle, took break, made sandwich, checked out SportsCenter. Dropped screw down hole near the motor. Potty mouth. Wife shaking head. Jumped in car. Acquired Coke, bag of Funyuns. Harbor Freight Tools - acquired telescopic magnetic screw-go-getter-thingey (and other cool stuff I didn't need). Arrived home. Retrieved screw - magnetic thingey rocked!!! . Scrubbed disassembled area with Vinegar. Installed new chopper assembly and protector. Reassembled. Turned on DW. Purred like first car - cherry 1968 Camaro. Showed wife fixed dishwasher. Flexed biceps, stuck out chest, sucked in stomach - baggy shorts dropped to ankles. Wife laughed. (ok, kidding). Presented new silverware basket to wife. (Bottom of old one worn out - silverware would fall through). Obtained hug from wife. That night, dinner, hugs, kisses. Life is good. "Weekend Warrior - Kickin' Butt, Takin' Names"

Replaced with new silverware basket. Simple fix. Had to also swap out small basket cover. That is not included with replacement basket. Easy enough.

The new tray arrived broken. The wine voucher I believe knocked a hole of that size at the end of it. I called and talked with a wonderful woman who heard my story. A new tray arrived the next day and is working fine. Thanks for your excellent customer service.

When a new neighbor told my wife her Maytag refrigerator ice maker was broken, leaking air into the freezer and a repairman told her the cost would be $160 show-up fee plus parts and labor, my wife volunteered that I had fixed a similar problem on our fridge and certainly I would be glad to help. What a girl, right? So I reviewed your video on ice door repairs, then popped the cover and pulled parts until I determined that a tab was broken that held the door return spring in place. A little research on your site told me what kit I'd need, but HEY, no video. When the kit arrived the printed instructions were helpful, but the illustrations were murky and not very useful. But I soldiered through and got things put back together. But the door was slow to close and the unit still leaked. After giving it some thought I went back to the video for replacing the ice door which told me I had put the door return spring in backwards, with the flat part on the ice door, rather than against the back wall of the refrigerator. Took the spring off, reversed it and everything was great! Now if I could just get my wife to stop volunteering me!

We order the 4 rack wheels and a new silverware basket. Everything Is working great now.
