The door leaked during wash cycle
I grabbed the lower right end of the gasket with my Leatherman Tool pliers and pulled out the old gasket.
I installed the new gasket. No cleaning was necessary.
It took less than five minutes. It now works like new.
I ordered the part with standard delivery and it was here in just a couple of days. Very easy fix.

Broken wheels on lower rack
This problem was making me NUTS! Every time I pulled the lower rack out, the rack would go off the track, threatening to break every dish, and I would literally have to half-carry the rack to move it in and out. VERY frustrating. No money for a new dishwasher, didn't want to pay for a whole new lower rack ($100). Then I discovered I could simply replace the wheel assemblies for less than $30 and no toold required. Yee-hah! It was literally a SNAP!

door leaked
removed old seal, placed new seal in place. Used my fingers to push it in place. It didn't work as it still leaks. I've put vaseline on the seal and door and it helps but still leaks. The dishwasher doesn't overfill, so I still have the problem, just not as bad.

broken roller wheels
Loading and unloading the dishwasher can be a pain if the rollers are not aligned or falling off. This part was easy to install even though it didn't exactly match the original (very old) dishwasher parts.

Water Seeping From Under/Around The Door
I opened the door and pulled the gasket from around the dishwasher. The gasket does not have any adhesive around it, so it pulled free almost immediately. The new gasket was pressed into place around the door and I was done. It couldn't have been any easier. I suspected it was the gasket when I saw pinched portions that did not return to the original shape and there were no visible cracks in the machine.
