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.
