Ok so my dishwasher just started leaking water from under the front door...any idea what might be causing this? It was doing this while washing...it drained just fine once it got to that cycle...I first thought it might be a clogged drain but if that was the case it wouldn't drain so well would it? Any help would be greatly appreciated...oh its a Whirlpool Gold dishwasher - Model #: DU915PWKS0
Chances are that the seal around the door has a crack in it at the bottom. Can't see any other reason it would leak.
lol yup that pretty much explains it I would think...seems obvious now that I read your reply lol...not having a good weekend, too many things breaking!! Thanks Dopey...now all I need is to find out how to replace the seal I guessQuote:

Get a bright light and a mirror, remove the panel below the door and watch while the unit fills. If the water is coming from above, pull the machine out, pull off the fill hose, and scrape the mineral build-up from inside the plastic assembly bonded to the side of the tub (inside the tube where the hose was connected.) A slight obstruction causes water to splash out and run down the side. (I don't just make this stuff up.)
:D
cheers, sneers
thanks sneer,
I actually couldn't find a seal anywhere so I did some looking around in there and found a bunch of buildup around the bottom of the door, so I scraped it all out and tried it again...no leak...I will be watching it for sure the next few times we use it.
I see you fixed that leak,I too own a whirlpool Gold dishwasher and had the same trouble but I found that the gasket under the bottom spinner had moved out a little and was blowing water out of the base and under the door and I did clean the door gasket and it also stopped but ever now and then it would be all over the floor.I took the base all apart cleaned it and reinstalled the gasket and never looked back... I also have a portable dishwasher,,it screws in bed.....:tape:
Our Maytag started leaking at the same place recently, after observing and cleaning up several puddles of dishwater after shutdown I discovered that the door hinge on one side had loosened, slipped slightly out of position and broke the door seal at the bottom right side. Next time open the door and give it a wiggle, you might be suprised.:yes:
