Possible Causes
Worn or damaged door gasket, clogged bottom spray arm causing excessive spray at door, misaligned door, damaged lower door seal
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Disconnect power and turn off water if leak is significant.
Steps:
- Inspect door gasket: Check the rubber gasket around the tub opening for tears, flattening, or gaps. Replace if damaged.
- Clean gasket and mating surfaces: Wipe away grease and debris from the gasket and door edges.
- Check lower spray arm: Ensure it is not cracked or blocked, which can direct water at the door. Clean or replace if necessary.
- Inspect lower door seal: On some models, a separate lower seal is fitted to the inner door. Replace if worn or deformed.
- Verify leveling: Ensure the dishwasher is level; a forward tilt can promote door leaks.
