My dishwasher leaks, not everytime I run it, but more often than not. I make sure the sprayer under the top rack is spinning freely and that the door is shut tight and nothing is caught in the seal. It seems to be leaking from the top of the door because the insulation inside the door is wet.

I'm sorry that your question wasn't answered on time. Although, it's probably too late to help you, I'm posting the answer anyway, so that it may help other people with a similar problem.

The first step is to determine where the leak is coming from. Normally, a door leak appears to be coming from the lower corners of the dishwasher, however that may not be where the water is originating from. To determine the origin, a simple paper towel test can be conducted. To perform this test, cut a piece of paper towel into 16 1" x 2" rectangles. Taking 8 of those, evenly space and tape them to the right side of the inner door approximately 1/4 of an inch liner door spike. repeat with the remaining 8 rectangles for the left side. Close the door and start the dishwasher. After the dishwasher has run for a few minutes and started to leak, open the door and look at the pieces of paper towel. If any are wet, the upper most piece is where the water is originating from. If any of the pieces are not wet, there is a lower door leak.

The further troubleshooting and/or action depends on the results of this test, which have to be posted for further instructions. The complete model number of the dishwasher is required for most accurate advice.

Gene.
