Upper rack kept dropping from the wheels when we pulled it out
We knew roughly how we needed to put the cap on the rail, but our technique of simply forcing it in the end of the rail wasn't working. The trick is to bend the moveable part of the plastic cap inward while you're sliding it in, and it clicks right into place.

The location of the cap we were replacing was the upper back left, which made it a little tricky to reach back there and insert it, especially for a bigger guy like myself. We took the bottom rack out and my smaller wife was more easily able to lean in the dishwasher and reach back there to insert it.

Silverware basket was missing in the condo that we rented
I just plugged in the model number and a screen came up that showed all the part numbers that made up the model. picked out the parts that we needed and ordered it and within 2 day we had the new basket that we needed for our dish washer.
the service and ease was better that going to the appliance store and picking up the basket.
I was very happy the the service.

Spray arm not functioning properly
Very simple. By hand, I unscrewed the old spray arm and screwed in the new one. One brief hangup. The old spray arm was very hard to unscrew. Rather than seeming to force it, I called the PartsSelect 800 number and got advice. The tech reassured me that all I had to to was unscrew it and put in new one. So I applied more force and old one came out. A breeze.

water leak
stripped old gasket from around the door (easy part)

instructions said to remove two screws from the bottom of the door to allow you to fit the gasket around the bottom

this was not too easy as you cannot get see the inside of bottom end of the door
I ended up removing the other door screws and this allowed me to fit the gasket quite easily

one tip tape the door lock immediately after removing screws as the lock assembly is not attached to the door

final step was to make sure the gasket was seated all around as my first wash had a slight lead

by pushing on the door after the door was locked cured the problem

Door Gasket - White
