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!!!

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

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!
