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!

Brass Nut Cracked - Water Leaks O Floor
I removed the 2 screws that hold the dishwasher in place. Slide out the unit just far enough to access the brass nuts on the heating element. Pulled off the wire, and replaced the broken nut with the new nut. Replaced the wire, slide the unit back into place and reattached the 2 under counter screws. Done!!!

My dishwasher was leaking from and electrical connection at the heating element
There was an excellent "how to" video on the internet which also pointed me to the part I needed. I did not even remove the dishwasher as recommended. I removed the lower kick plate, removed the power connector at the leaking input, removed the bad nut and installed the new nut.

Door would not stay up unless locked, springs broken.
Simply remove the bottom panel below the door. The owners manual (22 year old model) showed the proper hole in which to attach the spring. Attach spring to door and then to frame of dishwasher, as illustrated in manual. It is a tight fit to get your hands in there, but once you do it is a snap. We have replace these springs several times over the life of this appliance, this is the first time we have actually found the proper springs, should last a long time. Thank you Parts Select for having the inventory for such an old model!

Plastic bolt strips
This dishwasher has a plastic bolt that holds the actuator on. The action loosens the bolt and it wobbles and eventually comes off. After enough attempts the bolt will strip and need to be replaced. I took some 3M loctite this time to hold it in place. It is 24 years old, but still kicking
