Possible Causes

Worn door gasket, Damaged lower door seal, Misaligned door, Excessive foaming from wrong detergent

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power and avoid slipping on spilled water.

  • Check detergent: Ensure you are using dishwasher-specific detergent and not hand-washing liquid, which can cause excessive foam and leaks.
  • Inspect door gasket: Open the door and examine the rubber gasket around the tub opening for tears, flattening, or gaps. Clean it with warm soapy water.
  • Check lower seal: Look at the bottom edge of the inner door for a rubber strip. If cracked or deformed, it should be replaced.
  • Door alignment: Verify that the door closes evenly on both sides. Adjust the hinges or leveling feet if the cabinet is twisted.
  • Replace seals: If the gasket or lower seal is worn, fit new Amica-compatible seals following the original routing.
