Ihave a ten year old Dishlex dishwasher that leaks water from the front door. Initially i thought the lower front seal on the door was worn and replace the rubber with a new one. Unfortunately the unit still leaks water from the front door. I spoke to a friend who also has a leak on his dishwasher and he replaced the seal too, but his machine still leaks to. Could the leak be due to the machine filling up with too much water?

I find that dishwashers frequently fail to empty or more likely overfill if they have been laid on their side. This causes the tube to the pressure switch to get a small amount of water in it which upsets the pressure sensor. Fix is to ensure that ALL the water is emptied out and then disconnect the tube to the pressure switch (generally at the front bottom) and blow into it to clear the water out.
