soap dish door does not always pop open
the plastic pin that retains the spring has a head on one end that hits a plastic stop on the door to keep it from coming out. I used a small grinder and made a flat spot on the head diameter to make it easy to slide out. This is easier than trying to pry the door off the pin at the two retaing snaps. I was conderned these pin retainer clips were brittle and would break off.
Once the pin is slid out, it is a matter to hold the new spring holes in line with the pin. rotate pin so flat side you ground is turned up, so pin will not move out that way. Tiij about an hour

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.

Screws on the door of the dishwasher were very loose.

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.
