Possible Causes

Worn or damaged door gasket, Misaligned door or hood, Excessive water level in tank, Spray arm hitting door and deflecting water

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power and water supply. Mop up spills to prevent slipping.

Stopping door leaks:

  • Inspect door gasket: Examine the Champion door or hood gasket for cracks, flattening, or missing sections. Replace if any damage is found.
  • Check door alignment: Close the door and look for uneven gaps. Adjust hinges or hood springs so the door seals evenly on all sides.
  • Verify water level: Ensure the tank is not overfilling. If water level is too high, troubleshoot the level sensor and inlet valve.
  • Inspect spray arms: Confirm that wash arms rotate freely and do not contact the door. Replace bent arms or worn bushings.

When to call a technician: If leaks persist after gasket replacement and alignment, the door frame or tank may be warped and require professional evaluation.
