Dishwasher leaking water onto the kitchen floor

Likely cause

A worn door gasket, a cracked supply/drain hose, or a float switch that isn't shutting off the water.

What to try first

• Check the rubber door gasket for cracks or trapped food debris preventing a full seal.
• Pause using it and place towels down until inspected — a slow leak can silently damage subflooring/cabinets.
