Our dishwasher spray arm got stuck on a rogue dish and melted on the heating element
The spray arm simply clips to a base in the center of the dishwasher tub. The repair takes 30 seconds - the lower rack slides out, twist the base of the old spray arm to lift it off, and snap the new one on.
Some of the silverware slip thru the silverware holder. During the drying cycle the exposed silverware was to close to the arm and melted an area of the arm which caused water to seep out onto the kitchen floor.
To remove the spray arm just squeeze the sides pull up and replace the new lower spray arm in it's place. Just push down.
First remove the kick plate. Then look with a flashlight & mirror to make sure which, the spring and or the Spring Linkage are broken. With the door open, to have less tension on the spring, replace the spring and or the spring linkage. Attach the kick plate
Removed bottom cover , PLACED TAPE ON SHARP EDGES OF ALL METAL!!!!!!! Pulled electrical connections off with long reach pliers , removed old split nut ,it was loose !!!!!! . Placed new nut into deep socket , started by hand until sung ,then attached small short 1/4 ratchet to socket and took two (2) turns .

I pulled out the dishwasher and found the inlet tubing had a tear in the accordion part of the tube. I searched online for the model number and was directed to PartSelect. I ordered the inlet tubing, and it only took a few days to get to me. I then watched the video and was able to install the new tubing.
PartSelect is a life saver and I saved lots of money by not having to call a repairman.
The old part easily snapped off and the new part was snapped into place. No tools were needed. Very easy. Saved quite a bit by doing it myself instead of calling a repairman.
