OK...well, I'm a cheapskate. I found it does pull off with a little more
force. I'm going to try replacing it, then I'll keep an eye on it. I think
I'm going to put some kind of a pan under there and build or buy a little
alarm to check for water. They ought to offer such a thing for all
clothes/dishwashers. This one is on a kitchen floor that is hardwood -
that's another thing that should be outlawed! :>)
Thanks for your response...
