Door leaked from lower right corner
First I replaced the soap door grommet -- door still leaked. Then I went for the really expensive part ($40) -- the door gasket. The old one came right out and the new one went right in -- 15 minutes tops -- and the door no longer leaked.
Thanks to all the previous posters for their hints.

The racks were very rusted and falling apart.
Just undid the brackets holding the top rack in place and put in the new racks, locked the brackets and in the bottom put the water tower on and slid that rack in place, and bam we were ready to turn it on. It's wonderful, all new and clean. LOVE IT!!!

Dispenser door would not open
My husband thinks I'm the smartest wife ever! He's telling all his friends how I got online to research the problem (thanks to your readers and DIY comments!), diagnosed it, ordered the parts and - voila - clean dishes once again! It's like everyone said, remove inside of the door by removing 7 torx screws, dismantle wiring -remember to note what connects to what - pop out old parts, easily insert new ones (that arrived in record time!), reconnect wiring, replace door and you're done. Replacing the reservoir o-ring also stopped the leaking problem that preceded the door issue. Thanks PartSelect!

My dishwasher was leaking from the bottom right hand corner.
I removed the original gasket, wiped down the area, and installed the new gasket the same way the old one was installed. It was very easy.

broken float assembly
I went to take the bottom front panel off and ended up dropping the screw down behind the baseboard and then found that I did not need to take the panel off. The broken end of the float was not obstructing and I was able to just drop the new float in place. I spent more time looking for a replacement screw than any thing else. Ran it and it works fine.

After 22 years of virtually trouble -free service, I could tell by the sound that something was wrong. Water fill ran too long. Float not stuck. Checked and found float switch stuck.
Very simple. Remove bottom panels. Remove one screw holding old switch in place. Move wire connections from old switch to new one. Cleaned and lubed the switch actuator. Mounted new switch. Checked that float and actuator worked freely. Left bottom panels off till I ran a load - just to be sure all was OK. Remount bottom panels...Done! P.S. Don't forget to turn power off to dishwasher any time you work on it!!

Waterleak
I had to take the complete builtin dishwasher out of the base cabinet in the kitchen.
turn off electricity - circuit box
turn of water supply - turncock under sink
remove kickplate - screw driver
disconnect electric wires - screw driver
disconnect water feed - 5/8 wrench
remove top screws at counter underside - screw driver
pull out dishwasher - hands and son
turn dishwasher upside down - hands and son
got some water on floor - towel to mop up
remove top shower hose ( a rigid pipe with a screw fitting at top and a neoprene coupler at bottom) - hands
The neoprene coupler is the part that failed, it had worn thin due to heavy water flow
reverse process - same tools
voila - no water leak
I replaced a Silverware basket at the same time, which took two mintues as I had to remove the handle from the old basket and press fit onto new one - hands
Parts Select had the parts I needed and delivered in less than 48 hours. That is great service.

When I would run my dishwasher, water would pool on the right side front of the washer. It was even dripping down into the basement. When I figured out it might be the the front door gasket, I ordered the part.
The repair was very easy! I simply pulled out the old gasket from around the front part of the dishwasher. I cleaned the area with a damp rag from any residue that was left on. I bent the long gasket in half and and pushed it in starting at the center of the dishwasher and went down one side at a time until the whole gasket was in. I then ran a short cycle on the dishwasher to make sure it was properly in place and the problem was fixed. NO MORE WATER ON THE FLOOR! I was so very happy to know my problem was fixed and I didn't need to buy a new dishwasher! It's been running great! :) ~ Elizabeth ~

Rust and corrosion on the dishracks
I removed the bottom rack by simply rolling it out of the dishwasher, and removed (unsnapped) the rotating spray assembly. It was easily snapped into the center of the new dishrack. Next, I removed the roller stops from the rail holding the upper dishrack by following the marks (arrows) on the stops. I rolled out the upper dishrack, and rolled in the new one. Finally, I snapped the roller stops back into position.
