Dishwasher leaks water from the front bottom of the door during operation.

Possible Causes

Worn door gasket, damaged bottom door seal, overfilling due to float issue, spray arm hitting door

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power and water. Mop up any spilled water.

  • Inspect door gasket: Open the door and examine the rubber gasket around the tub opening. Look for tears, flattening, or gaps.
  • Check bottom seal: Inspect the lower door seal (on the inner door) for warping or damage.
  • Verify spray arm clearance: Ensure the lower spray arm is not cracked or warped and is not striking the door or racks.
  • Check level: Use a level to confirm the dishwasher is not tilted forward, which can cause front leaks. Adjust leveling legs as needed.

Repair action: Replace the door gasket and/or bottom door seal if worn. Correct any leveling issues and ensure the float is operating properly to prevent overfill.
