| Aug 9, 2021 at 2:23 | comment | added | JoeFletch | I'm not familiar with the dollar bill trick. How is that done? Also, I'm not running the dishwasher with the door opened just the door apart to see how high the water level gets inside the unit. | |

Can you do the dollar bill trick on the gasket to be sure it is actually sealing. It is possible the door got bumped and is slightly misaligned. | |
