Half the wheels were missing from the lower rack.
So easy it shouldn't even count as a repair, really. The dishwasher, there when I bought the place, had a lower rack that wouldn't roll out as it should. That's because there were no wheels on the left side.
The rack lifts out easily. These wheels snap on to small protrusions from the wire rack.

The seal in the door was broken.
I had to replace the door gasket but it would not go in very easy..So I put the gasket in a sink of warm water so it would be more pliable. Then it went on fairly easy.

There were no wheels on the bottom rack of our dishwasher.
This could not have gone easier! As long as you get the proper parts it's a piece of cake. I wish everything was this easy!

dishwasher was leaking at heating element connections
Both heating element brass nuts had a split in them. They had fallen off the heating element and were hanging on the electrical wires. I removed the wires from the heating element and removed the brass nuts from the wires. I then screwed the new nuts on the heating element and reattached the wires. problem solved. I want to thank you for having the parts I needed as Sears had discontinued them for this Kenmore appliance.

Dishwasher leaking at the door
Pulled the old gasket ou, cleaned the groove with a cloth. Then pushed the new one in, starting at the bottom. The curvatures are clearly marked, no guesswork.

Dishwasher leaking from underneath unit
Spotted the source of the leak at the first heating element under the dishwasher. Removed the brass mounting nut and it was cracked. Replaced with new part from PartSelect.com and the leak was fixed. Apparently the heating element gets so hot it tends to crack the mounting nuts, which results in a leak. Delivery time for part said 3-5 days - mine arrived one day after ordered!
