Dishwasher leaking, need advice

[koolkat]

I have a slimline Beko DE 2542 FW dishwasher.
It leaks. Lots of water on the floor, the water comes from the front side, I can see it trickling down between the door and the hinge. I have checked the seal around the door and it looks in very good condition.
It started with a small leak and now is a lot of water. There is also lots of white residue on the dishes. I have removed / cleaned the filters inside the dishwasher. There was residual water when removing the filter, not sure if this is normal. I have tilted the dishwasher and no water comes out. The leak is worse the more packed the dishwasher is.
Any idea what I could do to check before calling someone in?

Any advice appreciated,
Cris

Buy a new machine.

Any specific reason why I should not attempt to fix it Andy?

It's a cheap machine which is not made anymore, any fix would be a temporary fix and you are guaranteed that it would break down soon after.
