Possible Causes
Worn or damaged door gasket, Clogged bottom spray arm causing direct spray at door, Over-sudsing from wrong detergent, Misaligned door or latch
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn off power and water if leak is significant to prevent damage.
- Inspect door gasket: Check for tears, flattening, or gaps. Clean the gasket and mating surfaces with warm soapy water.
- Check spray arms: Ensure spray arms are not cracked or partially detached, which can redirect water at the door.
- Use correct detergent: Only use dishwasher detergent. If suds are present, run a rinse cycle with a small amount of cooking oil or anti-foam agent.
- Check level and door alignment: Verify the dishwasher is level front-to-back and side-to-side. Adjust leveling legs if needed so the door seals evenly.
Replace the door gasket if it is worn or damaged. Persistent leaks may require hinge or latch adjustment.
