Hi

We bought a new house recently. The dishwasher leaks about 10-15 minutes after starting a normal cycle. The leak appears to be at the center of the bottom of the door, but it's hard to tell exactly where, as the leak is about 6 inches wide.

I have not run a full cycle yet with this dishwasher - as soon as the leak happens, I just turn off the dishwasher. I tried this twice, with the same results.

I have been searching on this site, and I'm not sure exactly what the problem could be - gaskets, sprayer, etc. How can I debug this issue further so that I can order the right part?

Thanks

Thanks for the reply.

I checked that the unit is level, and that it empties out all the water at the end of a cycle.

It appears that the door is not sealing completely when it is closed. When I push the door, it appears to seal better. I can push the door about 3/4 of an inch. When I do this, the noise made by the dishwasher changes. It becomes significantly quieter - with no pressure on the door, I hear the fairly loud sound of water spraying. When I push the door in, the sound changes to a much softer hiss.

Second, I need to confirm this by running a couple more cycles, but it appears that the dishwasher leaks less when the door is pushed in all the way. I ran half a cycle holding the door pushed in, and it leaked a little. I ran the same half cycle without any pressure on the door, and I think the leakage was significantly more. I will try again by running two full cycles (with and without pressure on the door) and report back.

Third, I also see water on the control panel. It appears that the leak is not only at the bottom of the door, but also somewhere towards the top.
