Possible Causes
Worn or damaged door gasket, Clogged spray arms causing misdirected spray, Overfilling due to level sensor issue, Misleveled dishwasher (tilting forward)
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and water before pulling the dishwasher out.
- Inspect door gasket: Open the door and examine the rubber gasket around the tub opening. Look for tears, flattening, or gaps. Replace if damaged.
- Clean spray arms: Remove and clean spray arms to ensure jets are not clogged and spraying directly at the door seams.
- Check leveling: Verify the dishwasher is level side-to-side and slightly tilted back using the adjustable legs. Adjust so the door seals evenly.
- Check for overfill: Ensure water level is not reaching the bottom of the door opening. If too high, inspect the water level sensor and inlet valve.
