We recently bought a home and the first time we use the dishwasher. Suds and water come out the bottom. It left s large puddle of suds and water. Inside the unit near door has a lot of soap build up. We can’t afford to buy another one after spending so much on the house. The sellers of the home promised all the appliances were working. This is clearly not the case. Could the grime of soap build up (took some out) be causing this. Any help would be appreciated. Unit leaks suds and water at bottom between door and Horton panel. Leaks at both rivets on bottom of door. New unit to replace is 600. Please help my young family and your favor will be repaid with praise knowing that you cared enough to help people that really need it. We Thank you for your time. Please if we could help I. Anyway we would. Be our miracle and we will payout forward. We just can’t afford a new one.
Yes clean up as much of the residue in the unit that you can.

Dishwasher soap should not create much suds.
There is always a chance that standard dish soap somehow got into the unit.
It only takes a little of this to create a lot of suds.
Check that dish soap was not put in the rinse aid dispenser by mistake.
Note once you get rid of the suds, I recommend you use the old fashioned powdered dishwasher soap. It does the best job and creates the least problems.
