Bottom panel on dishwasher fell
 

The bottom panel of the dishwasher fell off. I have super-glued it back
on over and over again, but it won't stay.

What else can I do to make it stay put?
The dishwasher runs fine. The bottom panel just won't stay attached to
the dishwasher.

Thanks for any advice.

Without even asking what make and type of dishwasher.
Normally the bottom should removable with screws to access the wiring, water
supply etc.

So unlikely any glue is going to be much of a fix.

You might try some RTV caulk/adhesive. It'll be more likely to stand
up to moisture and vibration than superglue. Plus if you don't overdo
it, it'll be removable should you ever need to get it back off again.

Suggestion: The screws, depending on the model etc., may go into some little
(usually bluish-black) sheet metal clips or preformed spring metal nuts.
It may be that these clips/nuts have dropped off, got weak by losing their
spring 'temper', or rusted and there is now nothing for the panel to screw
or clip into????
A good repair-person and or capable do-it-yourselfer could probably fix it
properly in 20 to 30 minutes; but would most likely have to inspect it first
to see what the problem is. It would be best to still have the panel
removable (in most cases) in order to 'get at' the wiring and machinery.
