Possible Causes
Worn door gasket, Blocked lower spray arm causing spray at door, Over-foaming from wrong detergent, Misaligned door
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and water supply. Mop up any spilled water to avoid slipping.
- Check detergent: Ensure you are not using hand-wash liquid or excessive detergent. Over-foaming can push water out of the door.
- Inspect door gasket: Examine the rubber door seal around the tub opening for splits, flattening, or mould. Clean with warm soapy water.
- Check lower spray arm: Ensure the lower spray arm is not cracked or partially detached, which can direct water at the door. Replace if damaged.
- Level the appliance: Use a spirit level to ensure the Baumatic dishwasher is level and not leaning forward. Adjust feet as needed.
- Replace gasket: If the seal is worn or deformed, replace the door gasket.
