Possible Causes

Worn or damaged Electrolux door gasket, Debris on door sealing surface, Over-foaming from incorrect detergent, Misaligned door or hinges

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power and avoid slipping on spilled water.

  • Inspect gasket: Examine the door gasket around the tub opening for tears, flattening, or gaps. Clean it with warm soapy water.
  • Clean sealing surfaces: Wipe the door edges and mating surfaces to remove grease and debris.
  • Check detergent: Ensure you are using dishwasher-specific detergent and not hand dish soap. Reduce quantity if excessive suds are present.
  • Replace gasket: If the gasket is worn or deformed, remove it from the channel and install a new Electrolux door gasket, pressing it evenly into place.
