Possible Causes

Worn or damaged door gasket, Clogged spray arms causing water to jet at door, Over-sudsing from non-HE detergent, Misaligned door or tub

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power and water if the leak is significant.

  • Inspect door gasket: Open the door and examine the rubber gasket around the tub opening. Replace if torn, flattened, or brittle.
  • Clean spray arms: Remove upper and lower spray arms and clear any clogged holes that may redirect water toward the door.
  • Check detergent use: Ensure you are using dishwasher-specific detergent and not dish soap. Run a rinse cycle without detergent to clear excess suds.
  • Level the dishwasher: Verify the unit is level front-to-back and side-to-side. Adjust leveling legs so the door seals evenly.
