What can cause water leaks from my dishwasher and how do I fix them?

Water leaks are most commonly caused by using the wrong type of detergent or overfilling the rinse aid dispenser, which creates suds — use only dishwasher-specific detergents, and if suds persist, add one tablespoon of vegetable oil at the bottom of the dishwasher and run the desired cycle. Other causes include a door seal that has pulled away from its track, a blocked condensation vent, or improper installation. Ensure the door seal is properly seated in the track and that the condensation vent is clear.
