Anyone else have trouble with these GE dishwashing machines?

Mine cleans dishes well enough, but the gaskets leak easier than any other dishwasher I’ve ever had. I replaced the gaskets a few months ago, but if a little bit of debris builds up then it’s leaking again. Also, the racks are badly corroded, but the machine is only maybe five years old. Anyway, it’s just kind of funny that my aunt is coming over tomorrow and the last time she was here she noticed the dishwasher was leaking.

    Ours leaked, found a loose bit that let water in. Mine is running now, so no pics, but with the door open, there is a round filter looking thing in the bottom left. Make sure it is screwed tight. Not sure what it does, but if it’s loose, water gets between the door and the insulation soaks it up to leak later

      I’m pretty sure it’s just leaking past the gasket in my case, but I will definitely keep an eye on that.

    Happened to a lot of our appliances when we lived in an area with extremely soft water, which can be very corrosive. Some plastics seem to be more durable than others.

      Our water is very hard. I think the coating on my racks is just bad.

    I have a very similar model to this and also have issues with leaks. In my case it was more so related to the angle of the machine as over time I think enough toes kicked the base to tilt it forward and it was only anchored at the top underneath the countertop. After leveling it again we haven’t had any water on the floor
