There could be several reasons why an LG dishwasher might leak from the door seal. Here are a few possible causes:
Damaged or worn-out door seal: Over time, the door seal of a dishwasher can become damaged or worn out, causing leaks. Inspect the door seal for any cracks, tears, or signs of deterioration. If you notice any damage, it may need to be replaced.
Improper door closure: If the dishwasher door is not closed properly or if there is an obstruction preventing it from closing fully, it can result in water leaking out during the cycle. Make sure the door is securely closed and that there are no items blocking it.
Misaligned or bent door: If the dishwasher door is misaligned or bent, it may not create a proper seal when closed, leading to leaks. Check if the door is properly aligned and closes evenly. If not, you may need to adjust or repair the door mechanism.
Excessive detergent or improper loading: Using too much detergent or loading the dishwasher with oversized dishes and utensils can cause excessive suds or obstruct the door seal, resulting in leaks. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for detergent usage and ensure that items are loaded properly, allowing the door to close without obstruction.
Defective door latch or gasket: A faulty door latch or damaged gasket can prevent the door from sealing tightly, leading to leaks. Inspect the latch mechanism and gasket for any signs of damage or wear. If necessary, replace the faulty parts.
If you've checked these potential causes and the issue persists, it may be best to contact LG customer support or a professional appliance repair service to diagnose and resolve the problem.
