Unfortunately the leak still persists. *Any thoughts?


The last leaky dishwasher door I solved was due to washing dishwashing
scrubber/sponges containing too much residual soap.

Make sure the overfill shutoff valve is working properly. Normally
dishwashers do not fill up to the pointwhere the door gaskets are.
The gaskets are only to keep spray from getting out. That's why you
can open the door while it is running. If it is overfilling then it
will leak.

Sometimes overfilling is caused by a problem draining. All the old
water does not get out. So check that too.
