My seven-year-young ever-so-nice dishwasher has sprung a leak. The leak seems to come out of the bottom of the door. I dissected it, to the best of my limited ability, and found that the funny little squishy gasket (seems to be some sort of soft plastic shield on top of a sponge sort of gasket), along the very bottom of the door, is absolutely soaked with water. The water leaks from the length of this soaking thing. I think it looks as though this thing shouldn't really be getting wet at all--it is below the level of the tub and the internal door opening. The machine has a twenty year warratny on the tub and door liners. Could this be a problem with the door liner? It seems to be intact. This is our first-ever dishwasher, so I'm not familiar with failure modes. I also don't know if it's crazy to consider repairing a seven-year-old machine? It is a Maytag "Jetclean" Any ideas most thankfully received. --Lisa with a damp kitchen |
