Seems to be coming from around whatever vent(?) that's at the top of the unit? Pics taken an hour or two after a cycle. Is this in a normal position? Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Odds are good that the gasket is shot Part number: AP2109646 There seems to be some confusion on the size. The grid is one inch squares. Click on the picture and a new page will open with a Q&A section. Carefully check that the feed tube is not cracked.

I went ahead and unscrewed the spray nozzle, flipped the gasket over and screwed it back together - it's possible it was just loose? Gasket didn't look that bad - but we'll find out if that fixed anything on the next cycle. Thanks again.

And thanks for getting back to us, now when people search for the same problem they will see what actually fixed the problem instead of just suggestions on fixing it.
