Safety first: Turn off power and water supply. Mop up any spilled water to prevent slipping.

Inspect door gasket: Open the door and examine the rubber gasket around the tub opening. Look for tears, flattening, or gaps. Replace if damaged.
Check lower spray arm: Ensure the lower spray arm rotates freely and is not cracked or split. A damaged arm can jet water directly at the door seal.
Detergent type: Confirm you are using dishwasher-specific detergent, not hand-washing liquid. Excess foam can push water out of the door.
Level the appliance: Use a spirit level to ensure the dishwasher is not leaning forward. Adjust front feet so the unit tilts slightly back.

After repairs, run a short cycle while observing the door area for leaks.
