the hub that holds the spinner for the top water in the dishwasher broke
the design of this part is easy to break when closing the top rack.
there is a hub that clicks in place and a spinner within this that makes the water spray evenly on the top of the tub of the dishwasher
the part broke when closing the rack [a dish too tall hit it]
it took less than 5 minutes to replace as the part just clicks into two edge spots i did this without removing the rack or even looking into the tub all by feel

Dishwasher won't start.
Nightmare!!! The Striker latch did not pop out with a screwdriver as it was supposed to. The whole dishwasher needs to be disconnected and pulled out, then front door removed and totally disassembled to remove the screw to replace the striker latch. lots of work to replace a striker latch. Bad design!

Dishwasher not coming on
Make sure power to dishwasher is off. Unscrew from counter. Pull dishwasher out enough to expose pulleys that hold the door in place. Remove lower panel and insulation. Unplug door jack from main panel underneath. Loosen pulleys on each side and remove door. Take a 1/4 in socket and remove the bolt on the upper side of the hook on each side, then remove the screws on the outer side panel on each side. Now slide the inner door panel up (push the top and pull the bottom), which will release the hooks on each side. Turn over the inner panel and remove the four screws that hold the interface control panel in place. Unplug the two jacks and remove the panel. Now take a small flat-head screwdriver to remove the clear cover. Remove the control panel. Make sure you set the junction as prescribed with the instructions that come with the new control panel. MIND YOU- YOU HAVE TO REMOVE THE JUNCTIONS (TAKE EACH ONE OUT) AND RESET THEM ON THE PRONGS IN THE ORDER AS PRESCRIBED. Replace the control panel, replace the clear cover, insert it back in place, plug in jacks and replace screws. Turn inner panel over and line up side where the hooks lock. replace all screws and bolts. Replace door on dishwasher, plug in jack to main panel, attach pulleys to door. Replace insulation and front panel to bottom of dishwasher. Push dishwasher back in place. Replace screws that hold dishwasher to counter. Turn main power back on and VOILA!!

Replacing the bottom gasket on GE GDT530PGD2BB Dishwasher
Some of these other instructions may be for other models. This is specifically for GDT530PGD2BB, which doesn't present screws on the inner side of the door.
I'm extremely reluctant to do anything more than the repair at hand, so I didn't move the dishwasher out of its recessed cabinet, which would make the repair easier. I also did not remove the connector plug from the dishwasher to the door, since there was enough slack to do the repair without this step.
1. Turn off power to the dishwasher.
2. Under the bottom of the door, there are two 1/4" hex screws that can be removed with a small socket wrench, or if you moved the dishwasher out, you can tip it over slightly and get at these screws with a Phillips screwdriver.
3. With those out, you can open the door flat and slide it off it's hinges *just a little bit*. You need maybe an inch or so clearance to slide the old gasket out and slide the new one in. I had to use pliers to remove the old, very damaged gasket, but the new one easily slid into place.
4. Were you able to just move the door out a bit without removing it totally from the hinges? Great! Slide it back, put those screws in the bottom again, and you've done it! Probably in minutes!
5. Or, you could be like me and accidentally lift the door too far and have one of the hinges pop out. If I had someone helping me, it would have taken half a minute to put the door back on its hinges, but I was by myself, so I had to finagle something to keep the hinges open (two screwdrivers wedged handle first), so I could slide the door back on the hinges. That took me about 10 minutes. ¯\_(?)_/¯
Good luck!

The pulley cable had broken
Unscrew the upper and side holding screws. Move dishwasher part way out. I didn't need to disconnect the water or electric. Make sure the electricity is off. Remember your working around water. Take off the bottom plat removing two screws, Remove broken cable pulley and replace new. Buy two since your their you might want to replace both. Have fun! It's duck soup.

Diverter assembly leaking
This is a replacement that is straightforward but a bit mechanical. For an experienced engineer it was no problem but for the common household this is a repair best left to the pros. Fixed the issue no problem and the dishwasher is working perfectly now.

Dead dishwasher
It took a little googling and YouTubing to find the problem and solution, but once we had this UI board in hand, the installation was simple.
Most of the labor and little bit of struggle was taking the dishwasher door apart to get to the UI board.
Make sure to follow the instructions in the package to configure for your model, which was straightforward and simple enough to do.
Once the door was back together and reinstalled, she worked like a dream. The display also seems brighter to me. We haven't had the "random singing" that the dishwasher was doing before the original UI board went out either.
You can do this fix!

No illumination on controls and no response from buttons
Shut off power to the unit, removed the front lower trim and under counter screws, then I disconnected the wiring from under the door leading to the UI at the top edge of the door. Removed the front door, separated and disassembled the outer door cover, I then removed the UI control board from its housing and the clear cover and reassembled the parts in reverse order and turned the power back on. FOLLOW the included instructions on connecting the pins on the new UI by cross reference the model number.
