    Hi there

    New to the site but would be grateful for some help! Our dishwasher is not too old (only about 4 years). Recently it has started leaking – but I’m not talking drips; when it leaks it flows out like a tap has been turned on. The water appears to be coming from the corners of the door – seemingly first the left hand side then the other.

    Even more frustrating is that this isn’t a constant leak – it just happens every few washes and isn’t predictable.

    If I open the dishwasher door during a cycle when it has started to leak, water flows out of the door. I’ve always been able to open the door during a cycle before without any risk of flooding at all.

    I can’t see any damage to the door gaskets (and assume that if they were damaged they’d only cause a drip rather than water to flood out?).

    I could, of course, arrange for someone to come take a look. But it seems that it could almost be cheaper to just buy a new dishwasher than do that these days!

    Anyone have any thoughts?? Any help appreciated!

    sounds like it may be overfilling for some reason
