Possible Causes

Worn or damaged door gasket, Blocked or misaligned spray arms, Over-foaming from wrong detergent, Damaged lower door seal

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before tipping or moving the appliance.

  • Inspect door gasket: Open the door and examine the rubber gasket around the frame for tears, flattening, or gaps. Clean it with warm soapy water.
  • Check lower door seal: Inspect the bottom edge of the door for a secondary seal or deflector. Replace if cracked or deformed.
  • Verify spray arms: Ensure spray arms rotate freely and are not cracked or split, which can cause jets to spray directly at the door.
  • Detergent check: Make sure you are using dishwasher detergent only. Hand-wash liquid or too much detergent can cause excessive foam and leaks.

Replace the main door gasket and lower door seal if they show signs of wear or damage.
