Water Leaking Past Doors

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

Checklist if water leaks past doors:

Make sure condensation tubes are inserted into bases, not connected to drains or air gaps.

Clear and drain condensation tubes, including debris in bases.

Re-drill wood doors to make them square.

Straighten kinks in condensation tubes.

Educate customer on oversudsing (from too much detergent/rinse-aid or overly soft water).

Level dishwasher before attaching under-counter brackets.

Replace damaged door seals, including replacements cut too short.

Refill lower racks overfilled with dishes.

Move flexible cutting boards to left side of dishwasher.

Cosmetic / Customer Use / Installation Issues

Control codes during Cancel - Reset -- Customers have pushed / held Cancel - Reset buttons while turning dw’s on and entered control coding selection or customer service test programs showing codes such as E0, P0, P1, C1, P2, etc.

Not cleaning or locking sump filters.

Smelly dishwashers -- Often occurs from filters not being cleaned, drain hose high loops missing or drain gases being present. If all else is OK, then problem can be preservative not purged from tank door gasket.

Doors leaking or not latching -- Usually an installation issue (dishwasher brackets installed before dishwashers are leveled front to back, tanks & doors out of square, wooden doors not drilled accurately). Can be blockage in condensation tubes or condensation tubes connected to drain hose air gaps.

Inner door damage -- From upper rack during improper shipping and handling (dishwashers clamped on wrong sides or dropped).

Doors hit toe kicks -- Toe kick installation issue.

Junction boxes -- Comes from wires not being connected correctly during installation.
