About two years ago, water was leaking from under the dishwasher. I pulled the selinoid and it appeared melted around the casing. I replaced it and that fixed the problem.
Now the washer is leaking again, I pulled the selinoid, but it looks fine. Can the selinoid still be bad if it looks alright? Should I be looking at a different part to replace?

Am not sure what part you are referring to.
Are you talking about the solenoid Item 497 in the "Motor-pump" section?
Not sure how replacing it would repair a leak as it is the seal "Item 417" that usually leaks.

Now the washer is leaking again, I pulled the selinoid, but it looks fine. Can the selinoid still be bad if it looks alright?
Yes but this is normally the solenoid not operating not a leak problem.

Should I be looking at a different part to replace?
Are you assuming that it is the solenoid is leaking because it was the culprit in the past? If yes, then you have to investigate more to find the cause of the leak.

denman,
Yes, I was referring to Item 497. First time the washer leaked I pulled the entire unit from under the counter, disconnecting power and water supply. Replaced the melted solenoid unit, and as I said before, it has worked fine, until now.
This time instead of pulling the entire dishwasher, I found I could pull off the base plate covers, and access the solenoid, but as I stated, it looks fine. You mentioned Item 417. I guess my next step would be to lay on the floor with a flashlight, with the base cover plates off, start the washer and see if I can see where the water is leaking from, (and then mop up the floor).
Being an amatuer repairman, I tend to trouble shoot by observation and process of elimination to pinpoint the problem. Any other suggestions?

It could be that the Push-on Nut which held the seal in was backed out on your earlier repair. If it is the 417 seal also get a 415 Push-on Nut,

A cookie bake pan or something similar can be pushed under the pump assembly to cut down or eliminate the mop up.
