Possible Causes

Damaged or deformed door gasket, Clogged or misdirected spray arms, Overfilling due to inlet or float issues, Door not closing squarely on the tub

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power and water if the leak is significant to prevent damage.

Step-by-step checks:

  • Inspect door gasket: Open the door and examine the rubber gasket around the tub opening. Look for tears, gaps, or hardened sections. Clean with warm soapy water.
  • Check spray arms: Ensure spray arms are not cracked and that jets are not clogged, which can cause water to spray directly at the door corners.
  • Level the dishwasher: Use a level to confirm the unit is not tilted forward. Adjust front leveling legs so the door seals properly.
  • Load pattern: Avoid placing large items that deflect spray toward the door or press against the door panel.
  • Replace gasket: If the gasket is worn or flattened, replace it with a compatible Thor Kitchen door gasket.

Warning: Persistent leaks can cause mold and cabinet damage; address promptly.
