Possible Causes
Worn or torn door gasket, Warped door or frame, Excessive water level in tank, Spray arm misdirecting water at door
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power and allow the machine to cool. Floors may be slippery—use caution.
- Inspect door gasket: Open the door and examine the perimeter gasket for cuts, flattening, or hardening. Replace if any damage or permanent compression is found.
- Check door alignment: Verify that the door closes evenly and latches securely. Adjust hinges or latch to ensure uniform compression of the gasket.
- Verify water level: Observe the tank water level during operation. If it is too high and spilling over the sill, inspect the fill valve and level control for overfill issues.
- Inspect spray arms: Ensure spray arms are properly seated and not cracked or split, which can cause jets to spray directly at the door seal. Replace damaged arms.
After replacing the gasket, run a test cycle and watch for leaks along the entire door perimeter.
