Water leaking specifically from the bottom of a dishwasher door during a wash cycle is typically caused by a deteriorated or misaligned door gasket, caked-on food debris preventing a flush seal, a lower spray arm spraying high-pressure water directly into the lower door gap, or an overfilling tub caused by a stuck water inlet valve. When water splashes against the vulnerable bottom gap, a compromised seal fails to hold it back. You can troubleshoot door leaks easily by inspecting the lower seal. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when cleaning food sludge off the gasket, checking spray arm alignment, and replacing a damaged door seal stops water from pooling on your kitchen floor.
