Soft drop door mechanism came undone The soft drop door tub wheel
The soft drop door tub wheel came off and the cable was lying on the floor with the tub wheel. I was able to put the tub wheel back on the bolt and re-loop the cable to the spring. However, when I open the door the tub wheel slides off the bolt and pops off again. Is the tub wheel supposed to click onto the bolt somehow? How do I keep it from popping off again?

Sounds normal to me. If it doesn't go to the floor ,you may be ok. They were notorious for the rear wheel cylinders seizing. You may have air in the system from a previous repair ?
You have a leak in the brake system, need to check the medal brake lines
that run through the frame rail and goes to the back wheels, It is
common for those to rust into towards the back. If lines are okay then
check the wheel cylinders. If you are not low on brake fluid then you
probley have a bad master cylinder.
10. You will find four casters (Figure B) and a dolly (Figure C) with your wet/dry vacuum. Assemble as follows:
11. If the casters are not already installed in dolly, insert casters into bottom of dolly by placing stem of caster into holes provided. Ap-
ply pressure and twisting motion until casters snap into place (Figure 1).
12. With cord disconnected from receptacle and tank cover removed, turn tank upside down so that bottom is facing up.
With some manufactures yes. If you can get to the area from under the tub drill some small holes through the flooring and use a stop collar on the drill bit so you don't drill into the tub the put some expanding foam in the holes so it fills the area between the tub bottom and the floor to give the tub bottom some support.
The tub should have been set in cement mortar to prevent this from happening but that
First check each wheel brake cylinder for small leaks. If no leaks then the brakes have not been bled properly. Liquid will not compress like air, thus the reason pumping the pedal makes the brake pedal come up. If you had all of the air out of the lines then you pedal would not be soft. With your pedal going to the floor either there is air in the lines or fluid is slowly leaking.If it is a small leak on one of your wheel cylinders, it may be hard to detect without pulling the wheels off and looking. Small leaks on your wheel cylinders may never drip off of the car.
Just about all dishwashers will leak a little around the door seal over time but should not leak to the point of wetting the floor. With the door open, check in the front of the tub, under the door. Lots of gunk? Clean this area out well plus take a soft damp rag and clean the door gasket while feeling for any damage. Then go along the mating surface of the door and look for any nicks. If it leaked all the time I would suspect the door hinges have been sprung. Hope this helps, Ken
I had a similar issue as described by mc1bean. One day my Jenair dishwasher door just fell down. The right side spring was fine. The left side spring was still hooked into the door hinge but the cable was laying on the floor in 2 pieces. Over time it wore down and broke. I ordered just the soft drop cable. Now I could not find any installation instructions how to install the soft drop cable. After a few tries I think I got it right. Here are the instructions for hooking up the right side spring with the cable. The spring has to be hooked into the door hinge at the notch closer to the door. The end of the cable with the hook has to be hooked into the other side of the spring. The cable should lead from the bottom around the pulley up to the door hinge again. Now the other end of the cable has to be hung into the door hinge on the notch further away from the door. There is some slack, but it is not quite enough for the cable to get over the pulley when in rest position and undo itself. I hope this helps others who have the same issue.
Is this a new occurence or has it been that way all along? What type of floor is your machine installed on? A soft floor such as pergo or soft shiny lino can cause the washer to be a wild monster when it spins. We placed a commercial type rug with a thick rubber back completely under our washer and that seems to hold it in place perfectly. I received this advice after a service call.
If it has not been happening all along, it could be that you have a problem with the machine being unlevel or that you do have a problem with the tub. Does the tub actually seem loose if you turn it with your hand when empty? Extra heavy loads will contribute to a wild spin as well, and loads that are mixed items. (such as towels with cotton shirts.) it is better to wash the same with each other and not too full.
