Possible Causes
Damaged door gasket, Clogged filter causing high water level, Spray arm misdirecting water at door, Unlevel installation
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn off power and water if leak is significant.
- Inspect door gasket: Open the door and examine the rubber gasket around the tub opening for tears, gaps, or deformation. Replace if damaged.
- Clean filter and sump: A clogged filter can cause water to rise too high. Remove and clean the Samsung filter and sump area.
- Check spray arms: Ensure spray arms are not cracked or split, which can jet water directly at the door corners.
- Level the dishwasher: Use a level to check front-to-back and side-to-side. Adjust leveling legs so the unit is slightly tilted back to keep water inside.
