Leaking Dishwasher
The old gasket was worn. I pulled out the old one, put in the new gasket. I trimmed the ends to fit and that was it.

the end on one of the door springs on the dishwasher broke off
I removed the access panel using a nut driver. One fastener on each side at the lower front panel. Move the two piece lower panel and set aside. Locate the broken spring. It will be on the floor under the dish washer. Remove the broken spring. Place the new spring end in the hole in the chord end and place the chord over the plastic guide. Use a pliers to stretch the spring and fasten it to the hole in the lower dishwasher frame at the back of the dishwasher. Check the door for proper tension. Replace the lower panel and secure with the two screws. I recommend replacing both springs at the same time to insure proper balance. If you only replace one spring you will be replacing the other in the near future.

Leaking underneath dishwasher
My dishwasher started leaking at the beginning of the summer. We didn't know what to do, but didn't want to call an appliance repairman. Towards fall, a friend came over and pulled it out and found the heating element brass nut which was broken. We put it back in and washed dishes the old-fashioned way for another 3 months after that. I asked at my local hardware store for the part, and thought about trying one of those big-box do-it-yourself stores but never got around to it. Finally after getting sick and tired of doing all the dishes in the house by hand, I found your site, and the part I needed and ordered two (just-in-case). A few days later, we got the part, I pulled the dishwasher out again, screwed on the new nut by hand and put it back into place. We're in business!

Dishwasher was leaking at the front, just below the door
I measured the length of the gasket, using the old one to measure the length. Cut it to that length and installed it. VERY SIMPLE TO DO! But it didn't stop my leak--turns out there was a small leak in the bottom of the tub that was easily fixed with some silicone. The dishwasher's like new now!
