Leaks when being unloaded
I may not have the full solution here, but to avoid (expensive) sub-floor damage, I recommend you do the following. Assuming that the water is not coming from some dripping between the opened door at the hinge....
-Remove the kick plate that is in the bottom, front of the dishwasher.
Use a flashlight to look for wet flooring. Run the dishwasher with the kick plate removed, watching for leaks/dripping. It is possible for a leak to seep under the floor. If leaking is found, do not ignore it. Pull the dishwasher, fix the leak or replace the dishwasher. Remove the first layer of sub-floor under the dishwasher, looking for deeper damage.
You should probably do the same with the carpeted area. Pull the carpet back and decide if the sub-floor needs to be replaced. A flooring expert should probably inspect.
Sorry to be such an alarmist, but I have been around floor damage that was unnoticed and ignored.
