Possible Causes
Worn or torn door gasket, Warped door, Overfilling due to a float issue, Spray arm hitting the door and directing water at the gasket
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Unplug the dishwasher or turn off the breaker before removing panels.
- Inspect door gasket: Open the door and examine the rubber gasket around the tub opening for tears, flattening, or gaps. Replace if damaged.
- Clean gasket and mating surfaces: Wipe the gasket and door edges with warm soapy water to remove grease and debris.
- Check spray arms: Ensure spray arms spin freely and are not cracked or warped. Replace them if they are directing water toward the door seam.
- Verify level: Make sure the dishwasher is level and not leaning forward, which can cause water to spill over the front.
