Door Seal / Splash Leak
Dishwasher leaks water from the front bottom of the door during operation.

Possible Causes
Worn door gasket, damaged bottom door seal, overfilling due to a float issue, spray arm hitting the door
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and water. Mop up any spilled water.
- Inspect door gasket: Open the door and examine the rubber gasket around the tub opening. Look for tears, flattening, or gaps.
- Check bottom seal: Inspect the lower door seal (on the inner door) for warping or damage.
- Verify spray arm clearance: Ensure the lower spray arm is not cracked or warped and is not striking the door or racks.
- Check level: Use a level to confirm the dishwasher is not tilted forward, which can cause front leaks. Adjust leveling legs as needed.
Repair action: Replace the door gasket and/or bottom door seal if worn. Correct any leveling issues and ensure the float is operating properly to prevent overfill.
