PARTS ORDER TOOK TOO LONG TO ARRIVE
The repair was not the problem. The problem was getting the parts I ordered. When the parts finally shipped I had to wait for them because they just sat in a FedEx shipping warehouse for about a week delaying the repair.
Unplug dishwasher. Open the door. Remove two Phillips head screws holding the door panel on. Slide door panel down and out to remove. With door still open, remove the six T20 torque screws that hold the control panel. Behind the control is the latch assembly. Take a picture of the wires going into the latch assembly for installation reference(mine was black wires on left and white wires on right). Unplug the two sets of wires. Remove two T20 torque screws that hold the latch. Replace with new latch and reverse steps for installation.
Latch assembly broken, Dw will not shut off upon door opening.
Remove Phillips head screws on inner part of door panel. Pull door cover up and remove face panel. Remove torx head screws from inner side of door and remove control panel. Remove two torx screws retaining door latch mechanism. Remove and replace two wiring harnesses from old latch to new latch noting polarity. I tall new latch using two original torx screws. Replace control panel and cover in reverse order. Test door latch function under any cycle. Washer should start with door closed and stop when opened
top sprayer broke. Tried to Hot glue the 3 pieces together, did not work.
Just unscrew the sprayer top, which Is 3 pieces, but should be one. Take new part, which all 3 pieces come as one piece, screw to the inside top of dishwasher and all done.
Excuse me, as I do not know all the correct nomenclature, but I hope you get what I am saying. The new spray arm would not thread on to my dishwasher water supply coming out of the top of the box. Every time I would try, the supply line would push back up into the housing. Probably need to fix that too, but then I would have to uninstall the DW and just don't have time for that. My old part would thread right on, no problem, but the connection holding it all together was wore out. So I took the new arm and the old "nut" and put them together. They threaded right on, I pulled down on the arm and it is secure. So I had to Frankenstein it a little, but my DW is working, I didn't have to tear it apart and reinstall it, and I didn't have to replace it. Win Win!
Water was leaking through the heating element Accra point.
Isolated the leak and found the nut had split thereby allowing a loose seal and water penetration. Ordered 2 nuts just in case the other goes and the installation was easy. Unplug the unit, remove baseplate, remove screws under the countertop, and slide the unit out a bit. Use needlenode pliers to remove terminal connection and replaced nut. Reverse it for assembly. 3 minutes tops $6 later it is done. Easy money saved by a DIY.
Latch broke. and it wouldn't run without locking. As a trucker's wife it's up to me to fix whatever breaks or do without. I took apart the door, noticed the model number, and ordered the part. it was easy., it was harder to go thru Thanksgiving and wash dishes by hand.
Latch would not latch, would not power on due to this
Seriously very easy. Took screws from side of door on inside of washer, silver cover plate came off and was simple to replace the latch using torque screwdriver and phillips screwdriver.
the nut holding on the element would not tighten. leaked at the location where the nut was located
Removed the cover at the front bottom to gain access to the nuts holding on the element. Turned off dishwasher breaker. Removed the wires connected to the element. With a 1/2" wrench, removed the element mounting screws. Removed the bottom rack. Removed the lower spray arm. Removed the element from 2 clips. Removed the element. Put the new element in place. Clipped it in. Put new screws on and tightened up with a wrench. Not too much but enough to squash the washers to make a tight seal. Replaced wires. Replaced spray arm and bottom rack. Turned on the breaker. Ran it through a cycle to check for leaks. Replaced bottom cover.
Finally we laid in the tub--be sure to support the lid. The grommet could be inserted halfway. Then trying to fold the grommet back we were able to use a screwdriver to force the rest in to place.
