Problem
Dishwasher was leaking a lot from the center of the dishwasher
Tools
Screwdrivers, Pliers, Plumbers tape, small socket set, and two new hose clamps. I also used some gasket lube from my pool repair to put under the main rubber seal. The videos show using some dishwasher rinse. There are very good videos on line to show you the exact steps to take.
Repair & Advice
I turned off supply water. Disconnected electrical, disconnected input water, and disconnected the drain tube. Take out the 2 screws connecting the dishwasher from the counter. Pull the dishwasher out and lay it on it's back. Remove the connectors, and install the new device. Take pictures with your phone if you're worried about the proper electrical wiring at re-assembly. I had corrosion on some of my contacts from the water leak. I used a little emory cloth to remove the corrosion and the contacts were fine. The leak is caused because a rubber gasket wears out. You can't just replace the gasket as it is pressed into the replacement part. You will need to replace two hose clamps with simple clamps you can buy at any hardware store. The originals on the drain hoses are useless.
If you take your time, you can repair this. This has been a good dishwasher so it was worth the time to repair. I took my time and checked everything. Total time was about 3 hours.

Problem
Leak caused by the diverter motor shaft seal on the sump assembly. The only fix was to replace the entire sump assembly.
Tools
Screw drivers, pliers.
Repair & Advice
I tried replacing the diverter motor shaft seal alone but that did not work. Replacing the sump assembly is fairly straightforward. I watched a few YouTube videos which helped the process to go Smoothly.
