Hi there I am trying to figure out how to get my dishwashwer to stop from leaking out of the bottom left corner of the door area. (my left as I am looking at the dishwater). I replaced the gasket and the baffles already. I also looked at the sprayer to see if there was a crack and it looks fine. the sprayer is also clean of any debris/soap scum. The float also appears to be working fine and the level of the water is below the heating element and is just at the top of the "drain guard". Is there anything else I should check? thanks so much.

Dishwasher Not Leveled
This is a very common reason for a leaking dishwasher especially
if this was a new installation. The framing in a dishwasher is made up
of mostly thin sheet metal, so if it is not sitting flat and level
things can get distorted very easily. Watch the video on leveling your dishwasher.
Door Seal
This is not very common in most dishwashers. To check this look
for rips and distortion of the seal. If it is ripped or distorted you
will need to replace.
Dispenser Seal
This is a more common place for a leak to develop. This is easy
to check, remove the front panel and carefully inspect around the seal
for water dripping or stainage. If any is found replace the dispenses gasket.
Water Inlet Valve
Usually it is the connection to the water inlet valve that ends
up leaking. Check this connection ( there is usually some sort of
adaptor between the valve and supply hose) for leaks. Check the
connection on the back of the water inlet valve also. Ocassionaly a
water inlet valve will leak around the solenoid in this case replace the water inlet valve.
Drain / Circulating Pump
Some dishwashers have separate drain and circulating pumps Some use one pump to serve both purposes. In either case you will need
to check the housings for leaks along with all the connections. Some
dishwashers have a seal that leaks down into the pump . This is easy and
inexpensive to replace. Follow the tutorial on replacing the pump
Door Latch
The door latch can become loose or misalinged. Check both the striker and the latch.
To adjust the latch you will need to remove the front panel and adjust the switch until properly aligned.
Door Hinges
They can cause problems, but this usually only happens from
opening a heavy load of dishes on the door. Occassionaly a broken spring
or cable occurs. You will need to remove the toe kick and maybe the front panel to inspect.

Your drying vent tube is probably leaking inside the door panel. Remove the outer front panel and on the top left side, there is long white plastic tube connected to the dryer fan assembly. In that connection is where the problem is. You will need to disassemble the fan from the door, disconnect the tube from the fan, clean out the water and debris and use silicone when reassembling the tube to the fan.

Happened on my dish washer too. Remove lower rack, remove lower spray arm by removing the center plastic nut, check screws (torx) on outside edge of pump. Tighten these as necessary, mine were loose causing water to spray forward against the tub causing leakage.

This is often the fill valve. You can test the fill valve coil for continuity with a ohm meter, no needle movement = bad fill valve. You can also test the fill valve for 120 volts at the fill valve with a volt meter, power there and no fill = bad fill valve. No 120 volts there, you will have to trace power back to find the trouble maker. Test things like the float and float switch, wires and timer. Fill valves are very bad for working once or twice and then quitting, if your dishwasher fills the first and second fill cycles and then no more water through the rest of the cycle, replace the fill valve. You will need to remove the access panels to get at the fill valve. Dishwasher fill valves also have a screen built into the valve entrance, this can also get all clogged up and need to be cleaned.

Sure its redeemable if you have the time and money. If I understand you correctly when you move the lowewr spray arm the water drains out? If this is the case then more than likely its a pump motor or solenoid. Reason I say this is on the bottom of the spray arm is a impeller and under that is filter and then pump impeller that drains the water. If its not draining but will by hand then its your pump motor or solenoid. When you start the washer then press cancel/drain do you hear anything? Maybe a humming sound. One more thing could be a thermal fuse for the motor. These are usually not resetable its a one time fuse if it blows you have o buy another one.Hope this helps
SOURCE: glasses int he top rack of my kitchenaid
If you have hard water, glasses can look spotted and cloudy even after cleaning. Sometimes changing the dishwasher detergent can help. The easiest solution to clearing up glasses that start to look cloudy is to add some vinegar to the bottom of the dishwasher before you start a cycle. Simply add 1/4 of white vinegar and it will clear up your glasses very well.
You should see marked improvement after the first time you do this. If they are not crystal clear then simply repeat the process until all of the cloudiness is gone. In fact I recommend to using a little vinegar in each cycle to maintain the clarity of the glass.
Note: you can pre-test this by rubbing some vinegar on an individual glass with a cloth. If you cannot remove the cloudiness by soaking it and rubbing vinegar on it then it is possible that the glass is etched due to harsh or cheap dishwasher detergent and vinegar will not solve the problem.

I tried doing a full load of dishes and it made it all the way to the final rinse and then it started to drip again out of the bottom left hand corner again. I tried opening the door quickly a few times to see what the spray arm was doing and it appears to be rotating and not just spraying at the corner of the door. Please help! :) I dont want to have to buy a dishwasher
