Water escaping a dishwasher needs prompt attention. Where it appears tells you where to look.
Worn Door Gasket
A hardened or torn door seal lets water seep out the front.
Fix: Inspect the gasket and replace it if it is cracked or flattened.
Overflowing From Suds
Regular dish soap creates a flood of suds that escapes the door.
Fix: Only ever use dishwasher detergent, never hand soap.
Pump or Hose Seal
A leak from underneath usually means a failed pump seal or loose hose clamp.
Fix: Have a technician trace and reseal the internal connection.
