Possible Causes

Worn door gasket, Clogged lower spray arm causing overspray, Misaligned door, Overfilling or high suds

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power and water. Place towels in front of the unit to catch leaks.

  • Inspect door gasket: Open the door and examine the rubber gasket around the tub opening. Look for tears, flattening, or gaps. Replace the gasket if damaged or hardened.
  • Clean lower spray arm: Remove the lower spray arm and clear any clogged jets that could direct water toward the door. Reinstall securely.
  • Check door alignment: Ensure the dishwasher is level side-to-side and front-to-back. Adjust leveling legs as needed so the door seals evenly.
  • Avoid over-sudsing: Use only dishwasher detergent and the correct amount. Excess suds can push water out the door.
