Dishwasher is leaking from underneath, in the front right corner. Photo attached -- water seems to be coming down from this white perforated plastic piece. Any tips? WintonP attached the following image(s):

The leak is coming from the port where the float switch is.

WintonP, Did you resolve your leak? If so, how? I have a WDT790SAYB0 that appears to have the same problem. Not quite four years old now; been going on for over a year.
I have water dripping from the plastic cover. The leak is periodic. Sometimes twice in a week then it may go 8-9 months before it leaks again. I took the door apart and noticed the insulation in the lower portion of the door is damp. That and the fact that is leak is very intermittent, I thought that it might be electrical so I swapped the float switch out. But three weeks later, I've got another leak.

Repair guy found nothing wrong and said it could have been the result of a dish or something poking down from the bottom rack and making the arm spin funny. Doesn't sound like a legit answer to me, but it hasn't leaked since.

Thanks! I appreciate the reply. I hope that's true for yours.
About a year ago I contacted a repairman who told me something similar. He also suggested there could be something clogging or diverting spray from one of the nozzles in a direction its not supposed to be spraying. So I cleaned all the ports out, top and bottom. For mine, its the periodic part that's killing me.
I'm probably going to start throwing parts at it. I think there is a gasket/seal where the float passes through; I'll probably change that next. But, that doesn't answer why the door insulation is damp.
Good luck!
