Possible Causes

Worn or damaged door gasket, Blocked spray arm jets directing water at the door, Over-foaming due to incorrect detergent, Misaligned door or hinges

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power and close the water supply tap. Mop up any spilled water to prevent slipping.

  • 1. Inspect door gasket: Open the door and examine the rubber gasket around the tub opening for tears, flattening, or residue buildup. Clean it thoroughly with warm soapy water.
  • 2. Check lower spray arm: Remove and clean the lower spray arm. Ensure no jets are blocked and that it is not cracked or warped, as this can cause water to spray at the door.
  • 3. Avoid over-foaming: Use only dishwasher detergent. If hand dish soap was accidentally used, run several rinse cycles to clear the foam.
  • 4. Replace gasket: If the gasket is worn or deformed, replace the door gasket / tub seal.
  • 5. Check door alignment: Ensure the door closes evenly on both sides. Adjust hinges or mounting if necessary.
