Hi can somebody suggest cause for, and if they experience the same fault. Dishwasher used overnight. Randomly, no pattern, it leaks during the overnight session. It will work over several nights with no leak at all and then all of a sudden, when we come down in the morning the towels that we now systematically place on the floor in front of it are damp and some times quite wet. There is no rhyme or reason to the leak, sometimes when full, sometimes when not full, always from the front door (we think from investigations). We have had door seals replaced, I have added sealant to the internal side panel joints where they connect to the bottom tray. We suspected, after it started some years ago, that it was something to do with incoming water frothing up and causing an overfill, but changed washing tablets 2 or 3 times and still get same problem, about once in every 7 - 10 days. Any ideas. We have spoken with a couple of appliance repair men and they don't seem to have experienced similar fault with leak or they just won't let on.

Check spray arms are not split. Also check the ring nut rubber for wear. Found at the back where the top basket goes into. If using 3 in 1 don't use rinse aid it causes over foaming. Adjust the front feet do it tilts back slightly.
Checked all those, spray arms sound, we don't use rinse aid ever. Only thing from your possibilities could be to raise front of machine so it slopes back a little. Will try that. Thanks anyhow
