Water Leaking Past Doors
Water occasionally
leaks past bottom
of doors, usually at
start of cycles.
Water seldom leaks out of bottom of
dishwasher doors. Usually it’s a
customer or installation issue.
Occasionally temporary blockages of
condensation tubes by air pockets
(from standing water in loops) or kinks
in tubes causes leaking. Pressure
builds in tanks, blowing water past
lower door seals. Draining
condensation tubes and straightening
out kinks solves these occasional
problems.
