We keep getting enough water in lower tray to get error code 15. I know that means there’s a leak. We ran unit and put food dye in machine (hey, it works for cars why not dishwashers!).

First link is start of leak test-dye visible no leaks.
Second link is 20 or so minutes into 60 minute speed cycle-dye visible. Hose on right of picture is dry to touch along with hoses on left which have no visible water trail to middle part ( that round disc (don’t know name of it) where water collects at
third link is from right side of dishwasher (standing at front looking at washer). No visible leak inside but can see water drip on floor indicating door seal leak.

My question is this: can a leaky door seal leak to the inside of the unit causing what I am seeing? If so- I think we need to replace the door seal. Input and thoughts please and thank you!

Hi,

I found SHPM65Z55N/01

Yes door leaks can leak onto the base below and trip that leak detector.

I found:

LINK> Dishwasher Door Seal

Most leaks that we see will leave a trail of soap/calcium from where the leak starts.

Is there a way to access that area to see? I can’t see it from either side of the dishwasher. From what I can see, there was no dye trail from the front of the pan. Do we need to remove door to access the front of the pan to view? Or? Thanks!

Yes removing the outer door panel can give access to the lower door area.
