2 year old dishwasher leaking at both door corner gaskets! How fix?
 

This thing is going to rot out the cabinets next to it if I don't do
something quick.

I've removed, cleaned and reinstalled the little rubber corner gaskets, but
no change. I tried laying little strips of gasket material in there for
some added thickness with little to no change.

This is a GE Profile series unit.

Thanks!

Are you sure it is level?

Or even levelled slightly higher on the front than the back of the
unit.

My dishwasher started leaking when the drain got clogged. Probably not your
problem, but something worth checking.

I'll check for level, but if anything it appears to be a front-to-back
levelling problem since it leaks out both front corners, not just one. I'll
have a look at this.

Thanks for the link to common dishwasher leak sources!

Maybe the door is sprung or replace your gasket.

I can't offer a suggestion, but I can tell you I never owned a GE
dishwasher that didn't end up leaking at both front bottom corners. Over
the years I've owned at least half a dozen (usually already in place in
homes I bought). No repairmen ever managed to fix them.

Good luck!
