Dishes weren't getting clean
Maytag should be ashamed to put such poor plastic material in an otherwise good design. The seals that join the rotary sprayers to the rear wall had hardened and crumbled away. When I discovered that water pressure had been lost at the spray arms, it was a simple fix. Snap off the failed parts, pay Partselect $37 because Maytag wanted to save a dime and snap in the new parts. (Parts that will fail again in another 3 years.)

Needed a replacement part
FIrst I went to your web site; located the part on the easy to read diagram. Next I ordered the part. When the part came to the house (2-3 days), I opened the box and then the packaging, I screwed the part in and Wala! Boom! Bang! She was fixed!

All kidding aside. The part order was quick to locate, quick to ship and one of the easiest companies to deal with. I will return on my next dyi project.

The dishes in the dishwasher weren't getting clean. I decided it would be cheaper to replace the clogged wash arm myself, before calling a repairman.
First, I removed the screw, then I took off the old wash arm, then I replaced the wash arm, and replaced the screw. Nothing could be easier!

Soap not dispensing
I followed the you tube video exactly. Very easy to do. I did not tighten the screws sequentially as shown in the video, rather I did the opposite ones to make sure nothing was skewed. Very easy, about 20 minutes.

one of the door spring broke
I bought 2 new new door springs and just replaced both left and right. Just have to pull out the dishwasher about 1/3 to its original position to be able to fully open the door and replace springs located on the side. This model is not complicated . Its very easy to replace parts that are broken. Don't forget to TURN OFF your CIRCUIT BREAKER

The spring broke before the hook part on the spring.
Removed screws holding the dishwasher on the side of the cabinet.
Removed the screws from the bottom plate of the dishwasher.
Pulled out the Dishwasher from under the cabinet about 1 foot .
Removed broken Spring from left side of bottom holder making sure not to drop the plastic swivel arm from the bottom metal bracket.
Put the new spring, short loop side end in the plastic swivel arm and expand the long side spring end to the upper bracket holder. Their are 4 different tension slots depending upon how tight you want the front door to open or close. I put the spring on the 2nd slot
Put dishwasher back under the counter, screwed bottom plate & side in.

The dishwasher door would fall open
I thought the door springs were broken so I ordered both springs and cables. After the parts arrived I removed the six screws that hold the dishwasher in place and slid the dishwasher out about five inches. Neither of the springs were broken but one of the cables was broken. I changed both cables, slid the dishwasher back in place and replaced the screws. The whole job took about 20 minutes. It was a very easy job.

The original caster wheel had shattered and needed to be replaced.
I turned the dishwasher onto it's back. Using pliers, I grabbed right behind the remnants of the broken wheel and gently pried it out (took about 5 seconds). It popped out. I put the new white sleeve and then the caster wheel into the now open hole, slowly set the dishwasher back up and let it drop the last 2 inches. That pushed the wheel securely up into the sleeve. The entire replacement took less than 2 minutes! Super easy.

accumulator filter
Unfortunately, my experience was unlike that of the other people who posted. While everything did go back together it was very difficult to get it all to press down tightly enough to tighten each set of screws. The project took about 2.5 hrs and I still don't think it is exactly right. I'm still going to have a professional out to finish the job. Also, the tool needed to complete the job was nothing fancy, but also not in everyone's home tool kit.

bottom of silverware basket broke
received new basket without a basket handle; had to remove handle from old basket & attach it to new basket; took 2 separate tries to remove old handle & each try took about an hour; used screwdriver & pliers but had to be careful not to break handle; eventually used dimes to pry open & hold the attached sections of the handle open in order to free the handle from the old basket; we sure hope the new basket lasts a lot longer than the 2 years that the old basket lasted before it broke.

wheel broke on rack adjuster assembly on top rack
Removed the top rack and unscrewed the six screws involved on the rack adjuster. (Take note on how you took the thumb adjuster on top off for easier reassembly) Replace assembly on rack and slide rack back into dish washer. Kudos to PartSelect for getting my part here in less than 24 hours on a normal delivery charge.

Dishwasher Arm Not Spinning
I removed flowplate assembly, chopper assembly, found that the plastic spindle was stripped causing arm not to spin. In the new seal kit, the spindle was made of metal (much better design). I replaced the spindle, chopper, and filter assembly (old one was caked full of gunk). Worked like a charm. A previous post helped me figure out the problem.
