Possible Causes

Worn or damaged door gasket, Clogged lower spray arm causing misdirected spray, Overloading or tall items blocking door, Damaged bottom door seal

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dishwasher and mop up any spilled water to prevent slipping.

  • Inspect door gasket: Open the door and examine the rubber gasket around the tub opening for tears, flattening, or gaps. Replace if worn.
  • Check lower spray arm: Remove and inspect for cracks or blocked jets that could spray directly at the door. Clean or replace as needed.
  • Load properly: Ensure tall pans or trays are not pushing against the door or deflecting spray toward the seal.
  • Replace bottom seal: If water appears at the very bottom edge, the bottom door seal may be worn and should be replaced.
