    Leak around Dishwasher door
    I have a Whirlpool Quiet Wash Plus that is about 6 years old. Model # DU920PFGQ3. Have had no problems until this week. It started leaking around the bottom of the door. It's only a drip but I can't see a way to stop it. Any Ideas? Thanks

    Check your gasket for hard water build up or some other material stuck on it.the gasket goes all around the door and is usually black rubber. If there is any buildup try removing it by rubbing it off with a wash cloth.

    Another tip for dishwashers is:

    Run an empty load with lemon koolaid(sweetened),this breaks down the hard water build-up and keeps the inside clean.
