How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and water immediately if a leak is observed.
- Inspect door gasket: Open the door and examine the door seal for tears, flattening, or debris. Clean the seal and door mating surface with a damp cloth.
- Check spray arms: Remove spray arms and inspect for cracks or blocked jets that could cause water to spray at the door. Replace if damaged.
- Load correctly: Ensure large items are not deflecting spray directly at the door seal.
- Check internal hoses: Remove the kick panel and inspect visible inlet and drain hoses for drips or loose clamps.
Replace a worn door gasket or leaking hose to stop the leak. If overfilling is suspected, the water level sensor should be checked.
