Current problem is same as prior. Removal of exterior door panel allowed discovery of leak at both vent and dispensor. Vent gasket replaced and new dispensor installed. There is a thin clear/white edge plastic which is at the bottom of the inner door panel I’d removed and replaced. While there was a small amount of crust on it, I don’t see it holding water back. I’m able to freely place my fingers beneath the inner door panel for what that is worth.
While the leak is substantially less than when the vent and dispensor were dripping on the inside of the panel, none the less, it remains.
I just don’t see any other gaskets to replace, but have found this part:Part Number: AP3102987 http://www.appliancepartspros.com/part_details.aspx?part_id=3102987 a lower door seal kit.
thoughts please???

Is the problem that water is splashing over the bottom of the tub or out though the door seal near the bottom? If so check this part [part]AP3964091[/part]
I’ve seen the screws come loose and let the seal pop out on one side letting water spray at the door or seals.

I’m of the observation that the dribble is coming out of the center of the door where the harness penetrates the stiffiner… i’ve been careful about what dishes i put in the front of the lower rack…still drippy.
is this door seal BENEATH the door such that when the door is completely horizonal…the seal faces the tub and therefore in a verticle orientation?
thanks a lot for your help!

Also check your lower spray arm for cracks or splits. I’ve seen both cause door leaks. Is you Dishwasher level? Is the door binding up slightly on one side or the other?
