Replaced the bottom seal on the dishwasher door. The old one had disintegrated a while ago and I was getting little water drops on either side of the door. Also replaced the main door seal while I was at it. This is after I replaced the heating element a few days ago since it went out. Good refresher and much cheaper than a new unit
Take out the whirly twirly things and vacuum them out too. Many times, food debris gets stuck in there. plugs a jet. Things don’t end up as clean as they should. I had zip ties in one of mine at one point. But I also don’t prewash just give em a quick scrape and in they go.
That makes sense. I have not seen anything in them, but then again I did not look very hard. My sensor inside the sump was gunked up though. I tried vacuuming that and brought the gunk to the top of the sensor. Made the thing think it was full of water. Took another 4 hrs to realize what happened before I popped it out and cleaned it
