I have LDF6920 dishwater. There is a leak at the bottom of the door possibly from the vent. What to do?

Possible vacume leak not allowing the vent system to switch from door to face air flow.

If your cents are controlled by a cable rather than vacume, it is possible that the clip holding the cable has broken.

First, try to find the source of the leak. Leaks most often appear at the door of the dishwasher or underneath. Leaks can be caused by a number of issues: worn door gasket, water temperature, leaking drain hose, worn gaskets, or a corroded tub. For help identifying the cause and finding a solution, see the troubleshooting chart at Dishwater leaking for more information. Good luck!

My dishwasher was doing the same thing, but it was because of a clogged vent. The minerals in the water built up to a point that it was totally blocked and since it couldnt vent, the water ran down the inside of the door and leaked out the bottom. I just popped the vent cover off of the inside of the door and cleaned it out and it stopped leaking.

thereis a float switch in the pan it is usualy a plastic inverted cup like thing there is an electrical switch connected to this usualy by a plunger it is either out of adjustment the float may be gunked up or the switch is just faulty now

if its leaking down the vent out the bottom of the door when it runs.you need to replace the vent fan ***.the gasket on the vent door is bad.

possibly need to clean out vents/drains.make sure door seals all round.no air gaps. blocked vents/air leaks will cause fridges/freezers to work overtime..

sounds like you mean when the unit is running you are getting water dripping from the bottom of the door panel. if you remove the door panel at the bottom where the door hinges you will find an overflow tray which runs the width of the door. This is probably blocked with food deposits.

If not you may be using too much detergent. try running with no detergent and see if there are any leaks.if you open the door mid cycle the water level shouldn't be any higher than the bottom spray arm. hope this helps

I had exactly the same problem with my Kenmore Ultrawash. I thought the leaking might be coming from the seals around the door, but found that it was leaking from the top as described. I removed the air vent cover on the inside of the door and found that it and the vent area had a great deal of what appeared to be dissolved paper. At first I thought perhaps this was somehow remenents of some kind of air filter, but after reading the post here, came to conclude this was foreign matter. I believe what happended is we at some time washed jars or something with lables on it and this stuff accummulated inside the air vent area. I think in a normal case, when the washer is running, water is mostly stopped from going into the air vent area by the hatched cover, but inevitably some water would get thru. This would be ok normally, because the water would just hit the vent area and probably just fall back into the washer. With all the debris stuck in the vent area and on the cover, I suspect the water was not able to exit the vent area or was hitting the debris and causing the water to jet out the opening to the front - hence the water coming out the vent and pouring down the front. Once I cleaned out the vent area and the cover from the debris, I replaced the cover and ran the washer with no water leaking anymore.

I'm so glad you posted your finding - it gave something to look into, and turned out to be the same source of the problem. You saved me a service call.

Check the continuity of the thermal fuse. It's clipped onto the electronic control inside the console.
Let me know if you need more help.

Br, couple of things you can look for here. Check the vent, you can just pop this out. Sometimes there is a buildup of gunk which will hold water during wash and leak down between the door. There is a seal there, part number 974782. Another thing is to check the upper spray arm for cracks or splitting. This can send a direct flow of water into the vent. There is also a seal at the bottom of the upper spray arm, part number 3376846. I was fooled by a leak like this once, it turned out to be a clogged vent...Catriver..post back.
