Water leaking and pooling at bottom of dishwasher
Did some research on the web on how to replace the door gasket. No instructions were included with the part.
Once the part arrived, I soaked it in hot water around 30 minutes to remove the crease from where it was folded during delivery. Dried it off. Pulled the old gasket out of the door, cleaned the area with a soapy water and sponge and inserted the new gasket. Door fits tight and no leaks!

Detergent door would not open
Repair was simple and effective. Took out 7 torx screws, and then pulled the wax motor out of its holders. Pulled 2 wires off, remembering which went where, and replaced old motor with new motor. Reattached wires, put screws back in, and it works great again! The other reviews were very helpful!

Leak at right bottom of door
Thought it was the door gasket. Replaced the gasket, still leaked. Thought it might be the soap dispensor O-ring and/or the tablet dispensor door latch grommet. It turns out that the grommet was bad and the leak was coming from it. Just had to take the door apart, remove two nut screws and take the latch assembly out to replace the grommet. Very simple and only took 10 - 15 minutes to do the job.

Dishwasher Leaking
The gasket arrived without any instructions so the first step was to search the internet and find out how to repace the gasket.
Once the instructions were found it was easy simply use some type of tool (screwdriver in my case), or your fingers to pry the gasket from the track and pull it completely out.
Next I cleaned the track with a damp cloth.
Finally I pushed the new gasket back into the track and tested the seal.

Leak under front lower right side of dishwasher
Did search for how to fix leak, found PartSelect.com. Many stories about problems with gasket and grommet. Ordered gasket and installed it easily just like the video on PartSelect.com showed. Ran dishwasher - it still leaked. Ordered grommet and installed it following guidance from others on this site (thank you). Ran dishwasher - it still leaked. Searched for other causes. Made sure dishwasher was level and not overfilling. Ran dishwasher - it still leaked. Did another google search. One site said to check for a split in the lower spray arm. Sure enough, that's what I had! Ordered new spray arm and easily removed and replaced the old arm by unscrewing the plastic cap that holds the arm assembly in place and then removing the arm from the plastic clips that hold it in place (it just snaps in and out). Reversed the procedure to put the new arm in. Ran dishwasher - no leaks!

The soap dispenser wouldn't open
First I'll say that the parts arrived very promptly. Once I removed the 12 screws on this model and exposed the Wax Motor (why they call it Wax is baffling) I simply used the needle nose pliers to pull the 2 wire connectors from the motor. Because these motors come with a long extension nose, and this model dishwasher requires a shorter nose, I used a wire cutter to trim the nose to the proper length. I re-connected the wires, slid the motor in its' space and replaced all the screws for the front panels. Done.

Soap dispenser failed to open
First I removed door liner with Torx driver. Then I cleaned out the dispenser mechanism. I found that the waxmotor snapped out. I disconnected the two wires and reattached the new motor. I then snapped the motor back in place. Worked like a charm.

The plastic peg clips that allow converting the lower rack in the dishwasher broke. We could still swing up the pins to convert from bowls to dishes, but it was not proper.
These two little clips just snap in. The biggest problem was unloading that basket (my wife has to have the dirty dishes off the counter pronto). After that, just snapped the old retianers out and inserted the new. Be sure to note where the clips go. The can be installed too close together and will not do a good job of holding those little pegs in place.
