Possible Causes

Worn or damaged door gasket, Blocked lower spray arm causing water to hit door, Overfilling due to pressure switch fault, Misaligned door or hinges

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dishwasher and turn off the water supply before inspection.

  • Inspect door gasket: Open the door and examine the rubber gasket around the tub opening. Look for tears, flattening, or gaps, especially at the bottom corners. Replace the door gasket if damaged.
  • Check lower spray arm: Ensure the lower spray arm rotates freely and is not cracked or warped. A split arm can jet water directly at the door.
  • Clean door area: Wipe away grease and debris from the door seal area and the bottom of the door.
  • Level the appliance: Use a spirit level to ensure the dishwasher is not leaning forward. Adjust front feet so the door closes firmly.
  • Investigate overfill: If water level seems too high, check the pressure switch and inlet valve as described for E4/E5.
