How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before tipping or moving the appliance.

  • Inspect door gasket: Open the door and examine the rubber gasket around the frame for splits, flattening or gaps. Replace if damaged.
  • Check lower seal: Inspect the bottom door seal for wear or deformation. Replace if water tracks are visible.
  • Check spray arms: Ensure spray arms are not cracked or warped and are not striking the door. Replace if damaged.
  • Level the appliance: Use a spirit level to ensure the dishwasher is not leaning forward, which can cause front leaks.
